Ways

Increase Your Self-

Are you confident about yourself, your own skills and abilities?Are
you comfortable in your own skin or do you feel uncertain? Do
you undermine your own uniqueness? Perhaps you did not
approach other people because you did not feel confident?These are
the ways.

1. Be unquestioningly you!
When you are trying to fit all the different molds that other people want you to fit in, you
may lose track of who you really are. And it becomes impossible to please everyone all
the
time. Fall in love and approve of your own voice and your uniqueness. Begin believing
that your voice and uniqueness are gifts that needs to be shared with the world.

Dont ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you
come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs

is people who have come alive. Howard Thurman

2. You are good enough: approve, love and support yourself

When you love and approve of yourself, you are giving the message that you
matter. The
popular quote is: When the going gets tough, the tough get going. I would like to add: when
the tough get going, they also support themselves on the journey. Do not forget that your art is
valuable and you are not going to launch it out to the world unless you feel it is good
enough.

Do not look for approval except for the

consciousness of doing your best. ~Andrew Carnegie

3. Purpose, vision and dreams

It may be better to cultivate a purpose that plays to your strengths and what you really love to do, be
and have. Confidence comes from playing to your strengths and engaging in activities that make you
happy and fulfilled. If you have not found what you are looking for, that is all right. Allow yourself the

permission to do, be and feel what makes you inspired and happy in the current moment.

Im a dreamer, but Im not the only one.

~ John Lennon

4. Begin with the why in mind

Successful leaders and companies have a very clear why and it helps them to connect
deeply with people. When you repeatedly connect to your why, you reconnect to the
important things. You get focused and certain of why you are doing something and this
creates a lot of confidence that others can sense.

5. Take action
It is best to begin where you are at without lamenting what you have not done in the
past. Jumping
into action gives you a power-up that boosts your confidence. As you flex the action muscle, you
become better at taking action and exude confidence. Great confidence comes from taking charge
and taking action.

Imagination means nothing without doing.

Charles Chaplin

6. Detach yourself from the outcome

If you want a quick boost of confidence, do your best and then let it go. This tells the universe
that
you believe in yourself and have the confidence to allow things to happen without having to control
everything. Confidence comes from being all right with the mysteries and intrigue of life and
living
with detachment from a particular outcome.

Expect the best but do not make the mistake

of expecting a certain outcome.

7. Transform fears and failures into friends and teachers

Instead of running away from fear and failure, run straight into their path with courage
and
confidence. You will become greatly confident in your life if you allow failure to instruct
you. Confident and happy people view failure as a result that can be fixed and do not
allow
it to have negative consequences on their entire self-image.

You wouldnt worry so much about what others

think of you if you realized how seldom they do.
Eleanor Roosevelt

Today You are You, that is truer than true.

There is no one alive who is Youer than You.

~Dr Seuss
