Tips Increase Your Confidence

Ask yourself, “What’s the worst that could happen?” Too often, we place excess importance on potential problems. We all have a certain amount of energy so let’s apply it to creating extraordinary relationships, advancing our careers and meeting our goals INSTEAD of wasting that energy worrying. In doing something for the first time, imagine that you have already done it in the past.

Find someone who is already confident in that area and copy them. Model as many of their behaviors, attitudes, values, and beliefs for the context you want to be confident in as you can.

Use the “as-if” frame. I literally love this frame of mind. Disarm the nagging, negative internal voice. That negative internal voice can keep anyone stopped.
