improving self confidence

Improving Self Confidence

One e
asy way to improve self confidence in challenging situations is to remember a time you felt really self confident. If you can't remember such a time, then remember a time that you felt contented and happy. Perhaps, remember when you approached a women with humor and she responded with a great smile.

When you are in a situation that you want to improve your self confidence or you feel anxious, just go back to this time. This will enable you to control your emotions and thoughts. Practicing this process will enable you to start to gain more control in any challenging situations.

When you feel self-conscious and you can usually tell because you start to feel anxious, look for something outside of yourself to focus on. Really study it in a lot of detail . For example: examine a tree outside and look at the different colors and shades of the leaves and its beauty. The important thing is that you're learning how to keep your attention off yourself.

Another way to improve your self confidence in challenging situations is to focus on your breath. When we feel anxious, we tend to restrict our breath and breathe into our chest and not our belly. So just by breathing into your belly and feeling your belly expand in the in breath you will find you become much more calm
