How to Build Confidence? Title

Opening/General Statement
Self-confidence is one of very important parts of humanity. Someone with self-confidence
generally likes themselves and thinks positively about their future. A person who lacks of self-
confidence, however, tend to be pessimistic and is less likely to feel that they can achieve their
goals in life. The good news is that self-confidence is something you can build! So, how to build
your self-confidence?
Explanation Sequence 1
First of all, you need to identify your negative thoughts because your negative thoughts will
always whisper like this: "I can't do that," "Many people say that I will not succeed", "no one
understands my efforts." These pessimistic thoughts will hold you back from achieving high self-
esteem and greater self-confidence.

Explanation Sequence 2
After identifying your negative thoughts, you must turn them to positive thoughts. You must be
more energized to prove that all of those pessimistic thoughts are incorrect. This may be started
by having the positive affirmations to overcome those negative perspectives, such as "I am going
to try it," "I can be successful if I work at it," or "people will listen to me." You must try to
repeat these sentences over and over to burn your spirits.
Explanation Sequence 3
Next, you should refuse negative thoughts to occur more often than positive thoughts. Your
positive thoughts should be given more “brain space” than your negative thoughts. The more you
counter your negative self-thinking with positivity, the better confidence you will have.

Closing/Conclusion
In conclusion, as your confidence grows day by day, you must eliminate reminders of your
negativity that can make you feel bad about yourself again. Always boost all of your positivity to
achieve your dreams! Negativities might be reminders from the past and let the positivity
become the flashlight to lighten up your map of dreams. This will go a long way in building your
self-confidence up.
