Readers of my blog often ask me the question: how to become a confident person". In this article, I will answer this question.

Self-confidence is determined by our subjective perception of ourselves, our capabilities and skills, our psycho-emotional state, our beliefs and internal attitudes. In addition, this quality is based on our actual skills and abilities.

When you are good at something, and, at the same time, reality has repeatedly demonstrated to you that you really succeeded in this skill, you have less food for doubts about your ability.

If you have never had problems in communication, if you have always been able to clearly articulate your thoughts, be an interesting conversationalist, and you have always seen what a good impression you make on other people, then it will be difficult for you to doubt yourself as an interlocutor.

But things are not always so simple. Often we do not have an adequate assessment of our skills, and regardless of what we can and cannot do, we still doubt ourselves.

I will give 25 tips on how to become self-confident. Self-confidence concerns different aspects. Firstly, it is confidence in one's own strengths, in one's abilities, in one's undertakings. Secondly, it is self-confidence in the process of communication, which is expressed in firmness, perseverance and lack of shyness. Thirdly, it is the perception of your real qualities. By developing these qualities, you can be confident in them.

In my advice, I will touch on all these components. I'm not going to break down advice in terms of how it relates to these several levels of self-confidence. After all, self-confidence is associated, for example, with confidence in communication. All these tips are interconnected and will suit a person who is afraid to communicate and a person who doubts his abilities or cannot defend his own point of view.

Nevertheless, I will try to follow this line: first there will be advice related to working on eliminating doubts, then there will be advice regarding confidence in communication, and only then I will talk about acquiring some personal skills and abilities.

Tip 1 - Don't try to get rid of doubts, live with them!

When I started writing articles for this site, I was tormented by a whole lot of doubts: “what if I won’t be able to write, what if my advice will not be useful to anyone, what if no one will read my site, what if my thoughts seem stupid, etc. »

At the same time I was reading a book by G. Hesse - The Glass Bead Game. And one phrase from this book helped me to awaken faith in myself. “... his doubts did not stop at all, he already knew from his own experience that faith and doubt are inseparable, that they condition each other, like inhalation and exhalation…”

Some of my readers might think that my phrase will follow this: “I read this, and, at this moment, all my doubts were miraculously resolved!”

No, my doubts have not disappeared. Just a quote from the book helped me to finally be convinced of what I only guessed. Doubts and uncertainty are natural and natural. They accompany any undertakings. You can't always run away from them. . Moreover, this is normal, because I started doing something new, unusual for myself and ambitious. Therefore, my first task is not to resolve doubts, but simply to do my own thing, not listening to the voice of uncertainty when it interferes with me.

The fact is that in a lot of cases doubts are just emotions that have nothing to do with reality. Just because you think you can't do something doesn't mean you won't really succeed if you put in your best effort.

If it seems to you that they will not understand you, that they will laugh at you, this does not mean that everything will be that way.

Doubt and confidence constantly replace each other. These are transient phenomena. If you want to test this thesis, then remember the moments when you doubted something, and the next day you were sure of it more than ever. And if you don’t remember, then just watch yourself for a few days, pay attention to how confidence constantly replaces uncertainty. Usually people are more confident in themselves in the morning, when they are full of strength, than in the evening, when strength leaves them.

Self-confidence depends on your tone, on your mood and even on your health. It's just one of those emotional states that comes and goes. Of course, this does not mean that you should simply ignore this condition in every case. Sometimes it can tell you something, for example, that you overestimate your strengths. Sometimes you can just get rid of it as a hindrance, an internal limitation that prevents you from achieving your goals.

But in other cases, you just need to stop listening to this voice of doubt and act. Self-doubt is normal, and sometimes it even helps to get rid of a lot of arrogance. But doubts should not get in the way of all your endeavors.

My point is that becoming self-confident is not the same as never doubting yourself. Being confident means overcoming your doubts and fears!

If you want to know, I still often doubt myself, but do I come across as insecure? If I stopped every time I had doubts, you would not see almost a single article on this site.

Tip 2 - Know the time when self-confidence leaves you

Pay attention to when, in what situations, you are usually tormented by doubts. If you find any pattern in this, then do not attach much importance to this.

For example, I noticed that I begin to strongly doubt myself, in my undertakings, in my words, in my thoughts just before going to bed, when I start to fall asleep. I'm already used to it, and when self-doubt visits me again, I meet her as an old acquaintance: "here they are, evening doubts, as usual."

I cannot say that I completely ignore this voice, but if I do listen to it, I make allowances for the fact that this is a familiar emotional state for this time of day. And if at this time I doubt what I said, this does not mean that I am really wrong.

On the contrary, in the morning I am usually confident in myself, sometimes even too much. And evening doubts balance morning confidence, therefore I don’t deprive the evening doubting voice of attention, I just make corrections.

Learn to pay attention to the temporary, incoming nature of doubt, depending on your current state. Remember at what moments uncertainty visits you. And if this happens all the time, and you see a pattern in this, lower these doubts about the “price”.

Also use moments of "self-confidence" to destroy your doubts. Think about what you doubt when you are on the rise of vigor and strength. This will help you decide on something.

Sometimes, if I'm tired or upset about something, one unfriendly comment on the site can kill for a while the confidence in what I'm doing in a matter of seconds. (Truth recent times this happens less and less. Not comments, but uncertainty.)

And at this moment, it doesn’t matter to me that I didn’t doubt anything a few minutes before. It also doesn't matter to me that reality has repeatedly shown me the correctness of what I'm doing.

People tend to overestimate the importance of the present moment in time and they extrapolate their current state to a global perspective of life. If it now seems to them that they are capable of nothing, then they begin to think that this has always been the case, despite all past successes.

At such moments, just try to look at reality, at your real opportunities and successes, without succumbing to the current state. Like “actually, I can do this and that, I can do this and that, I have already achieved this and that.”

For example, when I start to doubt my ideas, I think: my site has helped many people, which they have already written to me about, they regularly read it and leave grateful comments, someone, thanks to my advice, has learned to cope with panic attacks, etc. d.

At such moments, I do not try to praise myself, but simply look at the facts in order to regain an adequate understanding of reality.

I recommend that you stop on the facts and no longer argue with yourself. If your doubts are caused by your current mood (tiredness, irritation), you most likely will not be able to get rid of them until this condition passes.

And if you start thinking about it a lot, then your mind, bound by a state of fatigue, will continue to doubt and lead you to uncertainty. So just tell yourself that these doubts are lies. Rely on reality, not emotions. Didn't help much? Nothing happens. Then just forget about it and don't think about doubts. They will pass along with your bad mood.

Tip 4 - Don't listen to people who say "you can't do it"

It happens that when you doubt something, you share your plans with your friends, people you know. You expect to get support from them in your new endeavor, but often you get only a stoplight.

Some people are simply not able to dispel your doubts for the reason that they are concerned about their own psychological comfort, and not about your happiness.

You don’t think that you are the only insecure person, and you are surrounded only by self-confident people? Unfortunately, most people do not dare to do something bold and independent. They want to believe that if they can't do something, you can't either.

They secretly desire your failure and even expect it. Because your success can become a living reproach for them, a reminder of missed opportunities.

Imagine that you have decided to start your own business and you are consulting with a person who has been employed for most of his life. What advice do you want from him? Most likely, he will say that nothing will work out for you (because it did not work out for him), that you are taking risks and you should not go into this area, but continue to live a normal life and go to work every day.

Therefore, consult about your undertakings with those people who have already achieved some success in the area about which you want to get advice. Take an example from them, and not from those who did not succeed.

Tip 5 - When in doubt, think about your "ideal self"

It happens that our self-doubt tries to fraudulently pass itself off as arguments of common sense. For example, you are afraid to approach a girl or a young man and ask him or her out on a date.

You tell yourself that it is not fear that is holding you back, but some objective obstacles. You think that this person will refuse you, that he already has someone, that you are not his type, and therefore it makes no sense to call him on a date and waste your time on this.

But, in fact, you are simply afraid and do not want to admit your fear to yourself, coming up with excuses. How do you know what fear is holding you back?

Form in your mind the image of the “ideal self”, which is not afraid of anything and which is always confident in itself. It is a perfect replica of yourself. Think about how it would have acted in your place? Wouldn't it even try to get its way?

But even if this “ideal self” decided to invite another person on a date, this does not mean that you must do it. You are not perfect. But when you realize that, ideally, you would have to cast aside doubts and act, you realize that all that is holding you back is only your fear and no other restrictions. The problem will immediately lose the complexity that you assigned to it. With this understanding, it will be much easier for you to decide on something.

Learn more about the "ideal self" method in my article.

While you are tormented by doubts: “I won’t succeed”, “I’m not capable of anything”, “I can’t, etc.” , remember that everything depends only on your will. It is up to you to determine whether you succeed or fail. If you want and show diligence, then everything will work out. And even if not, then try again.

You are free people, and no innate qualities, character traits prevent you from achieving your goal and becoming the person you want to become, having received from life what you want to receive. There are many more things subject to your will than you yourself used to think.

Stop seeing limits where there are none. Do not be afraid of difficulties, just start acting.

The next few tips will address the problem of self-doubt in communication.

I already wrote about what I want to tell at this point in the article, and I will repeat it here again. Do not think that all the people around you are constantly watching you, noticing all your shortcomings and remembering all your words. People are obsessed with their problems. They think of themselves most of the time, even when they pretend to listen to you.

So relax and calm down. There is no reason to be afraid of communication or public speaking. People pay much less attention to you than you yourself think about it.

I give this advice in many of my articles. Here I give it for the following reason. If you learn to direct your attention to someone other than yourself, then your mind will be less perplexed to be afraid of opportunities and tormented by doubts. You will stop endlessly thinking about yourself, about how you look, talk and what they think of you.

You will look at other people, have a dialogue with them. You will be distracted from your fears and see in other people much of what you did not notice in them before. You will realize that there are more similarities between you and other people than differences. And so there is no need to be afraid of anyone.

You are not perfect. And no one is perfect. Accept it. Therefore, you should not painfully react to your mistakes and failures, which undermine your self-confidence. Everyone makes mistakes and that's okay.

So be patient with your mistakes. If you feel that you did something wrong or said something wrong, then just draw conclusions from this situation, learn a lesson. Try not to make this mistake in the future, instead of worrying about how stupid you were.

Making mistakes is human, there is nothing wrong with that.

The people around you most likely have a lot of flaws and weaknesses, even if they look very confident in themselves. No need to think that when you find yourself in society, you become in the position of a small fish surrounded by sharks. In fact, you may be surrounded by people who are just as meek and self-doubting as you think you are. Even if they try to hide it.

You should not be afraid of people, especially if they cannot do you any harm. Do not be shy in front of bosses, women or men, colleagues. They are people just like you.

You should not go out of your way to convince people that you are the smartest, the most sophisticated, the most erudite, the most “correct”. Such attempts, as a rule, speak of uncertainty in some of their qualities. When you are not too sure of your mind, you try to make other people believe in it.

Therefore, in some cases, vanity, boasting, excessive assertiveness in communication can speak of internal self-doubts.

So stop showing off and trying to impress every person. First of all, you need to convince yourself that you are worth something. Be who you are by interacting with other people.

Undoubtedly, moderate modesty is a virtue. You do not need to seem better than you are, but worse than you are, you also should not seem. Everything must have a limit. Feel free to speak directly about your strengths if you are asked about them (for example, in an interview).

If you are not afraid to talk about your strengths, it shows your confidence in these qualities. And when other people see that you are confident in yourself, they become confident in you. They think: “I see that this person does not doubt himself, and since he does not doubt, then most likely he has nothing to doubt, and I can also be sure of him.”

And if other people praise your qualities, then do not be embarrassed, accept their compliments, as if you deserved it. Thank people for kind words addressed to you.

Despite the fact that a little higher in the article I advised you to be yourself and not pretend, all the same, I recommend portraying self-confidence in situations where you feel a lack of this quality.

First, it is beneficial to appear confident in yourself, for the reason that people become more confident in you. It is a fact that insecure people are less loved and respected.

Secondly, when you just pretend that you are confident, you actually become confident. Indeed, very often feelings of insecurity, doubts are not related to your actual qualities. These are just emotions that can be overcome. And when you try to do something different instead of following them, you take control of them.

Smile more, be interested in other people's problems, cheer them up. This will position the interlocutors towards you. And when people are located in relation to you, then it is easier for you to maintain self-confidence.

Do not withdraw into yourself, speak openly about your views and thoughts, if the situation allows and this will not disturb the comfort of other people.

Before, when I was an insecure person, I constantly kept something on my mind, not letting go of myself. But this did not help me gain faith in myself, but quite the contrary, it only contributed to the fact that I was losing it. As a result of self-development, I became very open. It seems to me that for my close people I am always at a glance.

On the one hand, I am confident in my thoughts, so I speak directly about them. On the other hand, I am not afraid that I will not be understood or criticized. I am not afraid to admit my own wrong, to give up my views if someone convinces me.

It is interesting for me to discuss with people on topics that bother me, to learn someone else's opinion, expanding my horizons.

When I speak about myself out loud, when I present my thoughts to the general court, then I have to eliminate all doubts, since I do this. And this action helps to be more confident in myself, because I put myself to the test of opportunity and face other people's opinions. Under the influence of these factors, self-confidence flourishes!

Don't wait for someone to pour their soul out to you first to open your soul to that person. Take the first step (although the circumstances must be suitable, you don’t need to pour out your soul unnecessarily. You should start a sincere dialogue as delicately as possible, removing all barriers). Be frank with the interlocutor, and then the interlocutor will become frank with you. And when someone opens up to meet you, then your faith in yourself will increase!

Of course, appearance has some significance, but charisma, intelligence and charm mean incomparably more! 😉

Speak clearly. Look into the eyes of the interlocutors, do not make unnecessary gestures with your hands. Don't wrinkle your fingers, don't pick your lips, don't "eeeeee." Just watch yourself, the position of your body, hone your communication skills and then, sooner or later, you will start to succeed.

Have a firm stance and unshakable views regarding some things. Do not rush to agree with everyone. A firm position does not mean blind stubbornness in opinion. This also does not mean that you always need to aggressively defend your opinion, conduct long meaningless disputes (although, in some situations, you have to defend yourself).

This means having a solid, well-founded, deliberate position, a set of own principles that cannot be shaken by every random opinion.

I am confident that I am doing the right thing by maintaining this site and filling it with articles. I am convinced that there are benefits to meditation and many of the benefits are lost to people if they do not practice it. I am sure that people themselves are responsible for their shortcomings. I am sure that every person .

I have strong principles and views on which my words and actions are based, and therefore I am confident in these words and actions. This confidence helps me keep doing what I'm doing. Sometimes clouds of doubt begin to obscure it, but behind these clouds you can always see the Sun, because it does not disappear anywhere.

Form your life position. Understand what you want from life. Consider your principles, stick to them, but avoid stubbornness, blind passion and rejection of other people's opinions! Keep a balance between moderate healthy stubbornness and softness, be flexible but firm, rely on the opinions of other people, but do not depend on it!

State your principles. Let me give you an example of this principle: "if you show diligence, then everything will work out." Realize how confident you are in this principle. Think like this: “The experience of many people confirms this principle. The one who really strives for something does not give up, only he achieves something. Therefore, I can be sure of this principle. It doesn't matter what others say! Anything can be said!" Hold on to this principle. Sometimes it will be obscured by doubt, then again return to your inner certainty, again and again find confirmation of the truth of this idea in life and experience.

You do not necessarily need to attend any special courses to increase self-confidence. Why do this, why pay money when reality provides many reasons to develop this quality?

Why do you need to train in some artificial situations when life gives you the opportunity to hone your skills in real situations?

You need self-confidence for life, so learn from life!

Meet other people, go to meetings, collective events (better refrain from alcohol, why - I wrote in an article about). Apply the recommendations given by me in practice, watch yourself, be aware of your fear and insecurity. Try to figure out what things you're not sure about and why. What are you going to do about it?

are excellent free lessons in business communication and self-confidence. Just remember to put a salary higher than your current level on your resume. The higher the salary you ask for, the more difficult it is to justify that you are worthy of this money. But in the process of such communication, your self-confidence will be strengthened.

A side effect of such training may be that you will find a better job for yourself for more money. Isn't it tempting not to pay for lessons, but to receive one yourself?

Of course, it is very difficult to be confident in your qualities if these qualities are poorly developed. Self-confidence must be based on something real, on your real worth.

Of course, self-perception, emotional mood are very important components of self-confidence. People need to stop belittling their dignity and learn to deal with doubts, as I wrote above.

But, unfortunately, this alone is not enough. I think it's not entirely correct to convince them that they are better than they really are. Increasing self-confidence must necessarily be accompanied by work on oneself, self-development, so that something appears in a person that one can be sure of.

Therefore, develop your personal qualities. This blog is dedicated to how to do this. Read my articles, try to apply the recommendations. improve self-control.

Read more books of any kind: fiction, science books, educational books, etc.

Improve your professional skills. Think about what you want. Follow this goal.

Always strive to learn something new about this world, to learn some skills. As you master certain skills, your confidence in those skills increases. After all, it is difficult to doubt what you have devoted so much time to and what you are doing better than others.

Think about what you are good at.

If you constantly learn something, put your skills into practice, see the return to your actions, then there will be much less room for self-doubt!

Update 01/22/2014: As I read in the book, it turns out that people who think that all their qualities are given by nature and cannot be changed are less confident than those who believe in the possibility of self-development and growth! Why is this happening? Because people with the so-called fixed mindset (qualities cannot be developed) believe that if they are shy, uncharmable, and not smart enough, then it will always be so. Therefore, they are afraid of communication, as it will once again remind them of their "ineradicable" shortcomings.

But people with a growth mindset (qualities can be developed), on the contrary, do not miss the opportunity to develop their communication skills and self-confidence. For them, the mere fact that they are not smart and self-confident does not mean that this will always be the case. It may be difficult for them to communicate and believe in themselves yet, but everything can be developed. That is why failures do not undermine the faith of these people in themselves. They are not afraid of challenges and are only looking for a reason to develop themselves, to become better!

Someone else's criticism is not a sentence for them. It becomes valuable information that they can use for self-development purposes. Failures stop being failures, they become valuable lessons. Readiness for trials and failures, healthy stubbornness and intransigence form in people self-confidence! And if you do not strive to develop your qualities and consider yourself a worthless person who will never be capable of anything, you will not achieve anything and will not be able to develop self-confidence.

Therefore, I reminded once again that any qualities can be developed! Every person can change! You suffer from self-doubt not because you are “that kind of person”, but because you have not made any effort to change!

I have already said that you should know your strengths. But besides this, you need to know your shortcomings. What for? To be calm about them and understand what you need to work on.

Instead of thinking: “I’m so bad, I can’t do anything,” you need to reason like this: “I can do this, this and that, but I am weak in this, this and that. Some qualities I can improve, some I don’t need at all, and with some of them I can’t do anything. It's okay, you can't be perfect."

Make a list of what you are good at and what you are not good at. And think about what you can improve in yourself. Take these shortcomings not as a given, not as something permanent, but as a front for future work.

Yes, you don’t know how to do something now, but in the future the situation may change thanks to your efforts. All in your hands. This understanding will give you extra confidence in your abilities, which will not bother you at all.

If you believe that almost any quality can be developed (and you certainly can) and strive for this, then you will stop avoiding those situations in life that you were afraid of because of self-doubt. Because, as I said earlier, many of these situations in life are training in your personality.

Are you having trouble with communications? Instead of avoiding communication, on the contrary, communicate! This is the only way you can develop your communication skills.

Are you afraid of speaking in public because you think you're not good at it? There is only one way to learn this, and I think you can guess which one.

Do not avoid what you are afraid of, work on eliminating your shortcomings, those features of your personality that you are not sure about. Learn new skills and use those skills in practice in a variety of life situations. Instead of giving in to difficulties, overcome them, armed with a desire to develop. And then you will discover many more life opportunities than if you just sit with your hands folded.

If you don’t know how to do something, if you doubt your quality, develop it! Why grieve? Try, experiment, be diligent. And if something is impossible to implement, then, all the more, there is no point in being sad about it! Why worry about what you can't change? Accept it!

Tip 25 - Don't Wait for Confidence - Take Action

This is the last and most important tip. No need to wait until you have no doubts and fears before you decide on something. You can wait for the appearance of this state all your life to no avail, without starting to do something.

Doubts and fears will not go away. Remember, I said that doubts accompany any bold undertaking. And you will not be able to become self-confident until you begin to step over your fears, act in defiance of them, ignoring your anxiety and insecurity.

Your goal is not to get rid of fear, but to learn to ignore it! And the more control you have over it, the smaller it becomes. Therefore, do not wait for it to become easy, act now, through strength, through uncertainty. Then life with all its troubles will temper your character and it will become hard as a diamond and indestructible as a typhoon!

Have you ever wondered why some people achieve their goals while others stagnate? Many will say that the number of actions that a person has performed to achieve a particular goal is of key importance here. One put a lot of effort, and the second was simply lazy, and therefore did not achieve his plan. Yes, without a doubt, active actions towards the desired goal is a basic skill that every man should have and this skill helps. It determines further development, but we must not forget about one more element. About what?

Self-confidence is the missing piece

As you read from the title, the second element is the development of self-confidence. Let's understand this concept.

Confidence is faith in yourself, faith in your strengths, faith in your abilities, faith in your potential, faith that you can realize your dreams.

The most important word is faith. If we translate this mystical word into logical language, then it will mean an unshakable conviction in something. Therefore, the phrase “self-confidence” is the conviction that you can already do everything without a doubt. For example: you can be sure that you will perform wonderfully on stage; you can be sure that you will easily meet a girl; you can be sure that you will lift a 100 kg bar in the gym.

In fact, you may not even have any skills in any field of activity. You may not have practice. However, your inner self-confidence will give you everything you need, which sometimes allows you. For example: you will believe in yourself when you start dating girls. Those. you will perceive yourself as capable of doing it. And if you already know that you are capable, then nothing will stop you from taking the first step.

You can reproach me for the fact that I'm now in the clouds. How can a man be confident when dealing with girls if he has never talked to them? Very simple.

A man from birth should have inner confidence, acquiring it in childhood.

He must initially perceive himself in a positive light, and not in a negative one. He must understand his uniqueness, accept his individuality, rely on his own strength, and not on the environment. True, in most cases, men do not have faith in themselves. What is the reason?

These are the roots of self-doubt

Parenting is the most important factor influencing the development of internal self-esteem or confidence. Even the word “self-esteem” means evaluating oneself. In other words, what assessment will you give yourself, how will you evaluate yourself - positively or negatively. Self-esteem and self-confidence are rather synonyms than two opposite concepts.

Your self-confidence (or self-esteem) comes from your upbringing. Think for yourself, in what family did you grow up - complete or incomplete? Were you raised by your father and mother? Or were you raised only by your mother, because your father left the family when you were little? Or maybe your father raised you? There are many options. Each parent contributes to the development of their own child.

If your parents loved you, appreciated you for who you are, then you will surely grow up confident in yourself. If your mother gave you her warmth, and your father taught you how a man should be, then you will understand that everything is all right with you. You will not worry about whether you are attractive to women. You will not think about how to behave with a woman. You won't doubt yourself and you won't feel empty inside.

It's important to clarify something. If your parents constantly limited you, infinitely regretted, looked for flaws and shortcomings in you, then it is not surprising that at this moment you feel weak and lost. No wonder you don't feel like a normal man who's okay with women. If your parents perceived you through a negative lens and labeled you, then what kind of self-confidence can we talk about?

You must have heard that the child absorbs everything like a sponge?

• He absorbs the negative and positive beliefs of his parents.
• He unconsciously copies their behavior.
• He understands how he should behave with the opposite sex.

Moreover, all this happens at some automatic level, i.e. consciously the child does not understand this. The very atmosphere in the family affects the development of the future man, his self-confidence. The more intense the atmosphere, the greater the imprint it will leave in the soul of a little man.

The role of the father in the development of self-confidence in the future man

From his father, the boy adopts masculine qualities, namely: perseverance, activity, the ability to lead men and women, the ability to make decisions, the ability to take responsibility, the ability to rely on himself (otherwise, he acquires self-confidence).

If the father himself possesses these qualities, then without a doubt his son will be able to adopt them. An important role is played by whether the father lived in the family of this child or not. And if he did not live, then how much attention did he pay to his son? How did he perceive his son? As a future man or as a person who constantly needs help and babysitting him?

The son is practically a copy of his father. From whom else can a boy adopt the qualities of character and masculine beliefs necessary in life? As the father perceives his son, so the son will perceive himself.

If a boy from childhood has not learned to defend his point of view, compete with other boys, achieve his goals, communicate with girls, then where will all these skills come from in adulthood? They will have to be developed independently, and this is a complex and time-consuming process.

From the father, the son takes over “what is good” and “what is bad”. Is it good or bad to hit back the offender? Is it good or bad to do what you love? Is it good or bad to adapt to others? Is it good or bad to believe in yourself? Is it good or bad not to keep your promises? Is it good or bad to play sports? Is it good or bad to betray your friends?

The boy gains self-confidence or does not acquire it by about 7 years. His success or failure in life will come from his childhood. If the father taught him everything necessary, then the boy will be able to manage his life, and not go with the flow.

The role of the mother in upbringing is also very important, because it is she who gives her son her attention, care, love. In the end, it was she who carried him and gave birth to the world. By the way, there is such a theory that a man unconsciously chooses women who look like his mother.

The upbringing of a son should be handled by both the father and the mother. One or the other cannot be ruled out. Each one is important in its own way. Everyone contributes in their own way to the development of their son's self-confidence. But in the development of a boy, a man must make a key contribution, because he is a role model for his son.

How to gain self-confidence?

If your life has turned out in such a way that your father did not influence your upbringing in any way, then you will have to develop self-confidence on your own. For many guys, it has been undermined since childhood. Now you are wondering daily how to gain self-confidence. Now you are thinking endlessly about why you have not achieved anything in life, why you are weak, why you are afraid of women and do not know how to lead them, why you do not allow yourself to express your opinion, why are you a passive observer, and not an active doer?

Let's think about what you can change now?

1. You can learn to overcome your fear in any business in which you feel insecure.
2. You can begin to take responsibility for your life and the choices you make in it.
3. You can start doing what you like.
4. You can try to express your opinion.
5. You can try to lead the girl.
6. You can take the initiative and be active.
7. You can set goals and move towards them.

I hope you found this article helpful. I will believe that you will apply the knowledge that you have received, draw the right conclusions from what you have read, and can finally gain self-confidence. To no problem.

I want to end this article with one interesting quote:

Do you believe that I can make it?
- Someone does it. Why don't you?

It's no secret that self-confidence is the key to a happy future, career advancement, respect from others, to a normal family life, and indeed, the key to a good mood. Sometimes insecurity gives rise to low self-esteem, as a result of which a person is afraid to do some things that he later regrets. Often this feeling simply destroys everything that you have built over the years, what you have achieved for decades. But do not think that such a feature is a stigma for life. This is just a temporary difficulty that needs to be overcome. Work on yourself.

There is a high probability that uncertainty is “hello from the past”. Not everyone has a good childhood. Someone was interfered with by parents, not properly raising a little boy or girl.

For example: you had a burning dream to start playing hockey, but your parents went against your desire and enrolled you in an art school. In this industry, of course, you have not succeeded, as a result of which you lose confidence in doing anything else.

Someone was simply afraid to materialize their ideas without revealing their talents to 100 percent. But now we are already adults and it's time to think about our lives. Change your plans for life, bringing new colors and impressions into it.

Let's move on, don't stand still! Do not wait for calls from others. Build your world, your life, your future. Learn to learn from your mistakes. Do not give up, but on the contrary, proudly raise your head up and say "I will go through everything, kneeling is not my destiny." Don't look for positive feedback from loved ones or strangers. Do not analyze your own or other people's shortcomings.

All the same, ideal people do not exist, everyone has their own vices. Nevertheless, each person is good in his own way, it is important to see it in him and see it in yourself. Remind yourself of your positive qualities more often. Boost your self-esteem. Get rid of any fears. Life is one, do not waste precious minutes on fear. We need to act here and now!

How to develop self-confidence

There are many ways to develop self-confidence. Psychology knows a huge number of methods, one of which is understanding that you really need it. In order for the formation to take place more effectively, it is necessary to remember all situations. Scroll through all the details of the past life in your head. Remember those times when, due to self-doubt, you missed a happy chance, lost the opportunity to gain something truly important or start life from scratch.

For example: In your school years, you really liked one girl. Initially, she did not pay any attention to you because you were indecisive and shy. At the graduation party, the girl herself took the first step towards meeting you, but, remaining the same timid, insecure, you could not confess your feelings to her and missed the opportunity to find your soul mate, which you dreamed of from a young age.

Most likely, you experienced great excitement at the moments of making important decisions, were afraid to go against the interlocutor, did not speak out when it was necessary. Having gained self-confidence, there is a high probability that this will not happen again, and your life will take on a different meaning. You will take a new place in society where you will be valued and respected. You will become stronger, more confident, more assertive. Remind yourself often of those moments that you are proud of. Keep in mind only such moments of life. Set goals for yourself and by any means (except illegal, of course) achieve them. Bring all things to the end, not stopping in front of the obstacles that have appeared.

The second option for developing self-confidence is "acting without undue hesitation and doubt." The essence of this method lies in the fact that after considering the situation, you need to immediately make decisions, implementing your plans, without succumbing to doubts and fears.

For example: you have decided to go into the construction business, you have the funds to open, a well-thought-out plan and the necessary business skills. At this moment, you decide to implement your idea and in a couple of years you become a successful entrepreneur with your team and a stable income.

Thoughts that you are afraid to materialize are useless and harmful to the construction of life. Motivate yourself to accomplish. Imagine in your mind what successes you can achieve by gaining self-confidence. Think that any given task is doable. Sweep away all doubts, because only in your imagination the plans conceived are unrealistic. Understand this, and then everything will become much simpler and easier. Psychologists believe that insecurity is formed in childhood due to excessive parental care. Or due to the fact that you tried to meet all the established standards, imitated someone. Also, insecurity and low self-esteem may have developed as a result of the fact that after making a mistake you were belittled by others.

For example: in your school years, you often had to give answers at the blackboard in front of the whole class. But one day you accidentally made a mistake by writing the word “deer” instead of the word “autumn” in a sentence. In your opinion, it was a stupid, harmless mistake, but classmates laughed at you in the back and later began to call you this animal. Since then, you have been afraid to make mistakes, but you should have just rebuffed the offenders a few years ago, or simply not pay attention to the stupidity of attention.

But all this is just the past! No need to live the old life, remember the bad. If once you fell on your knees, this does not mean that you will remain on earth for life. Don't look for someone to blame. These are only temporary difficulties.

In order to understand the question “how to gain self-confidence?”, it is necessary to get rid of the habit of blaming everyone around and shifting responsibility to them. Remembering the childhood years, pay closer attention to exceptionally bright, cheerful moments.

For example: focus on your first birthday (even if you don't remember it). Birthday cake with candles, making a wish, balloons tied with red and blue ribbon. The smile of the parents and the kiss of the mother. The laughter of dad, who on this day is especially proud and happy for his child.

Drop dark thoughts! It is important to understand one simple thing: no one has the right to judge you, not even yourself. Because each person is individual, and it is necessary to develop positive qualities in oneself, without comparing oneself with other people. By changing our inner world, we are able to change those around us, giving them our positive emotions.

If you succumbed to criticism from third parties, this is not a reason to change your individual qualities, mannerisms, appearance or your behavior. Do not lose confidence, do not lower your self-esteem, as there will always be a person who will be dissatisfied with something. Don't try to please everyone, love yourself just the way you are. By realizing that there are no flaws in you, you will develop confidence in yourself, and fears will fade into the background.

Self-confidence exercises

The training that truly teaches self-esteem and self-confidence, plunges into lasting and profound changes, is as follows:

1. Duration - from 30 days (to form the habit of thinking differently, discarding doubts and stopping being afraid);
2. Includes a meditative technique for generating change and reinforcing newly acquired skills, such as casting aside doubts on a subconscious and conscious level;
3. Conducting exercises that allow you to let go of past negative experiences, previous failures, contributing to a decrease in self-esteem to the lowest mark;
4. Improves life after one month and sometimes increases the income level of participants;
5. Easy to implement tips and exercises. Even the most insecure people can achieve a good result by following a little guidance. The number of completed exercises will turn into quality. Skills of internal self-confidence will be formed, and self-esteem will increase;
6. It does not take a huge amount of time and does not take away vitality. But since the modern world is transient, a person simply does not have either the first or the second. Approximate amount of free time - one hour - only 60 minutes;
7. The level of tension decreases and the shell is shed from the soul and body. Your muscles relax and you feel warm. Blood flows through the veins moderately, slowly, reaching the heart. Positive emotions and harmony creep into the heart.

This is a brief digression in favor of the exercises (the actual practical part will be a little further).

Confident turtle

With the modern rhythm of life, it is not enough to practice the right exercises. Life changes so quickly, new complexities and difficulties appear. Society overloads itself with work, everyday troubles and worries. In this regard, there is too little time for practice, but sometimes not enough strength. That is why every person tries to achieve results as quickly as possible.

1. An environment that motivates change or practice in the company of like-minded people.

Change in the inner world happens faster and much easier when you get into an environment that supports you. Through a chain reaction, participants provide each other with support and stimulation.

It is important to find such people who will become a support in your endeavors. Don't stay in your current environment where you can be ridiculed and your motivation will be kicked back. Never be afraid to admit to other people that you are working on yourself, developing self-confidence and increasing your self-esteem. Open up to these people, and it is likely that they will follow you.

1. Meditation: the engine and fuel for moving forward.

In order to decide on changes, vital energy is needed. But where can you get it if you become exhausted from everyday work and worldly fuss? The answer to this question is very simple: engage in meditative technique. With the help of meditation, a person gains strength, the speed of self-change increases tenfold. Thus, the meditative technique is transformed into a pleasant and easy process.

With the help of this method, you will learn to free yourself from resentment, stop feeling guilty. This will happen in a matter of seconds - one and two!!!

I cannot teach you this technique through letters, words and sentences. You need to find an experienced person who will teach you all the most important things in order to meditate on your own in the future, without the help of third parties throughout your life.

1. Intensive start with self-confidence training.

You will probably agree that by applying at least some of what I have suggested to you in action, self-confidence will increase significantly. The main thing is not to stop and lose strength. It is important to exercise and follow the advice on a regular basis, as it will develop a habit that will allow you to develop your self-confidence throughout your life. A year will pass, then two, and you will feel the effectiveness. You will become more confident. Having reached any goal, you will enter the courage. You will love it and want to move on. You will no longer stand still. Pull new people along.

Don't procrastinate, get started right now. Minutes are priceless, cherish every second. Think positively, enjoy every moment, learn from failures! Life is one and is it worth wasting it on doubts and obstacles?

Affirmations for self confidence

Often, due to self-doubt, a person creates obstacles for himself to move forward, leaving desires and goals behind. He gives up and stops acting: to do things that would help him take a step towards new achievements. His self-esteem drops, his inner world collapses. But is it worth it to think that you are doomed to failure, and nothing good awaits you?

There is a very simple answer to this question: NO!!! Everyone should at least make an attempt. And in order to help yourself gain confidence, I suggest one of the ways to increase self-esteem - the use of affirmations in conjunction with meditation. Throughout the day, use certain words (given below as examples) that you can say out loud. Also, meditate for half an hour - in this way, you will balance your inner world and give yourself the mindset "BE SURE".!

Do not try to achieve national recognition, love or grandiose success. Your main task is to accept yourself as you are. Show your personality. Attract goodness and happiness into your life. Learn to respect your positive (miley sides). Do not dwell on failures, troubles, problems and shortcomings.

Here are some examples of affirmations to increase confidence:

1. I accept myself as / as I am / as I am;
2. I have always loved, love and will love every part of myself and my inner world;
3. I deserve only the best;
4. I watch my positive sides and always work on them;
5. I choose which way to go and realize my desires;
6. I feel absolutely confident/confident;
7. I will always find a way out of any situation and make the right decision;
8. I value my abilities;
9. I am positive about change and learn from everything, enjoying life;
10. I am the creator of my destiny and I will make myself happy/happy;
11. I experience only vivid emotions and am confident in every day;
12. Only I am responsible for my life, and it will be beautiful;
13. I express my thoughts clearly and exhaustively and hold myself confident / confident in any situation;
14. No one and nothing will break me - I am full / full of strength for new achievements;
15. I will make the world a better place!

There are other examples, but not even in how the sentence is constructed. The important point is that the affirmation should be spoken from the heart - from a pure heart. With good intentions and the words "I'm sure" will be material.

Self confidence mantra

Mantra is a tool necessary for self-improvement. Its peculiarity lies in the fact that, in conjunction with the meditative technique, it carries a powerful energy charge. The divine power of the mantra materializes, it is able to fulfill any human desire!

With its help, you can gain confidence, find answers to the most tricky questions of fate, comprehend the truth of life and your destiny. In the process of the mantra described below, the soul finds harmony, needs are satisfied, despite the fact that you do not voice them out loud.

Say the mantra during meditation and raise your self-confidence:

“Ardas Bhai, Amardas Guru, Amardas Guru, Ardas Bhai.

Ram Das Guru, Ram Das Guru, Ram Das Guru, Sachi Saii.

What books to read to become self-confident?

To date, there are a huge number of books written about confidence. One of the most famous and recognized by the society is the book of the teacher of Stanford University - Carol Dweck "Flexible Mind". She is one of the WORLD'S leading experts in the field of motivation.
If we talk briefly about the content, then it is safe to say that from the book you will learn that the mind and talent given by nature are amenable to change. We will talk about people with a fixed consciousness, who vehemently believe that the 2 said qualities are unchanged. And that they are deeply mistaken in this. Carol Dweck will prove by examples that intelligence and talent can be developed and improved.
This approach develops a love for continuous learning and resilience to hardship and failure. It is unlikely that there will be at least one person who would not have such qualities!
No less famous and beloved book is the book of the speaker and writer of German origin Bodo Schaefer "The Laws of the Winners". In my opinion, it is easy to read. Its content includes thirty theoretical laws that successful, formed personalities adhere to. Also, as you read, you will become familiar with thirty practical exercises. You can start doing these exercises at any time, but the sooner the better!
Having delved into the essence of what is written, you will gain positive emotions. The soul will be filled with bright colors, and a smile will appear on the face !!!

E. Muir's book - "Self-Confidence"

E. Robert's book "Secrets of Self-Confidence"

How to become a confident man?

Before you start working on yourself, you need to understand what qualities a man must have. Many mistakenly believe that charisma can give confidence, and showing off your talents is a sign of self-confidence. I hasten to disappoint you - this is an erroneous judgment.

In order to become a confident man, you must have the following qualities:

• Kindness is not putting yourself above another person. It is important not to avoid responsibility. It is necessary to educate a leader in yourself, but not forgetting about sincere feelings and warmth.

A man who is able to combine two opposite qualities in himself - compassion + strength will attract people to him, and he will gain confidence.

• Firmness (stand firmly on your feet), perseverance and patience.

Becoming successful and self-confident does not equate to achieving championship merit or getting the title of "millionaire". The point is to be aware of your goals and achieve it gradually, but authentically.

• Ambition, modesty and daydreaming combined.

Having become a realist and a dreamer at the same time, a male representative will be able to fully realize his ambitions, as a result of which he will go to any "feats" to improve his life.

• Physical activity is the main component of external attractiveness.

In the absence of this quality, it is difficult to gain confidence and increase the appreciation of one's personality.

• Sharpness (in moderation).

Such men are often more attracted to the fairer sex, but the main thing is not to overdo it, as this will scare people away from you.

• Smiling and cheerfulness.

If you are able to bring a smile to the face of another person, cheer him up and give positive emotions - you can be sure that you are a strong person.

• To be loving - it is important to show this feeling in action, deeds, and not idle talk.

It is also necessary to make compromises under "irresolvable" circumstances. Of course, it is difficult for a confident person to step over himself, knowing that he is right, but think about the fact that the truth does not always bring happiness. You do not need to defend your point of view if it will harm you or a loved one.

• Help when you are asked for help.

Give a hand to someone who cannot cope without outside help. Substitute your strong shoulder from the moment when another person needs support and care. It is possible that in this way you will not raise your self-confidence, but you will find "YOU", which is sometimes much more important.

How to develop confidence in a child?

Surely no one will argue with the statement that confident people achieve much more success than shy and insecure people? Of course not! That is why it is so important to form the qualities of a confident person in a child from an early age. But is everything so simple on the way to education? It may be an impossible task for some, but every parent should set an example for the future generation.

Here are some games that will help you build a sense of confidence in your child:

1. Give the “little genius” an opportunity to look at yourself from the outside. Draw a picture of yourself on a piece of paper with the children. This must be done in such a way that everyone does not know where someone else's drawing is. Thoroughly mix all the leaves. Distribute the drawings among themselves and talk about what is missing in the image.

The correct conclusion about the current emotional state of the child allows you to reveal the details of the story.

1. This game is aimed at developing willpower and faith. Take a blank sheet of paper and write down everything you did for the day on it.

Thanks to this method, everyone will be able to analyze their actions, and perhaps learn a lesson from “today”. The child will think about what he could do more. It is likely that in this way he will talk about his dreams.

1. A game that will allow your child to believe in himself. Invite the child to describe himself, to talk about how he imagines himself.

If he describes himself in bright colors and with positive emotions, it is highly likely that he is endowed with the qualities of a confident person. In case everything happened exactly the opposite, you should tell him about his best sides so that he believes in himself and his strength. This must be done with extreme caution, without overestimating its merits.

1. The game is “conflict resolution”. Come up with some kind of conflict, and invite the baby to respond to it. This must be done very quickly so that there is no time to think. Write down the words spoken by the child, and then carefully analyze everything with your family.

Thanks to this method, you will develop a response in your child quickly. The whole family should exercise to form a comfort zone.

1. Faith game. Teach your child to value their positive qualities and virtues. Stand with the whole family in a circle and alternately say three pleasant words to each other. Words should reflect what you like about this or that person. It can be a trait of character, behavior or a highlight in appearance.

By systematically performing the above exercises and games, children will learn to express their thoughts, sensations, feelings correctly, quickly, and gain greater self-confidence.

Films about confidence

We all know very well how changeable the mood is. Sometimes even the smile of a loved one can elevate you to heaven, and sometimes, a rude word from a loved one can drive you into depression. When such moments come, I recommend taking a break and watching a couple of films that can open up new horizons. They will allow you to understand one important thing: "there is always a chance to change everything in the soul and around."

Here are some motivational films:

• "Dangerous Minds"

This masterpiece of cinematography is more for women, as the female heroine is in the center of events. She finds herself in an environment that can excite the mind.

After viewing the "invisible side" you will understand that you should not be offended by the whole world. No matter what the circumstances, you don't need to become rude and tough.

• "Joy"

The history of modernity, which will tell about 4 generations of the family. The heroine of this film is a girl named Joy, who is trying to gain confidence. Step by step, she fully develops this quality in herself and "turns into a woman." Joy rises to the top of a business dynasty, proving to everyone that confidence is the key to excellence!

Shot from the film "The Shawshank Redemption"

In the center of the plot is Andy Dufresne, a middle-aged guy who lived an ordinary life. But a turning point has come - his wife and lover are killed, and he himself is accused of this crime. The convict ends up in the prison of the same name "Shawshank". Morally, he was not ready for such events, the prison is not his world! But is it really so - the harsh life puts such a question before him!

How to increase self-confidence is not an easy question. But today there are many ways, exercises, tests and games that you can use. Everything depends only on you. Until you take action, nothing will change. No need to wait for some gifts from life. You yourself are the creators of your own destiny. So do not feel sorry for yourself, work hard on yourself, sparing no effort and time. All in your hands. Decide now, and tomorrow you will achieve something more than expected! In the end, we recommend that you watch a video about self-confidence.

In one situation or another. True, to experience uncertainty is justified - this is one thing, but another thing is when a person doubts everything all the time. can easily ruin a person's life. If this state of affairs does not suit you, and you are thinking about how to become a self-confident person, then you can still fix it.

Three types of behavior

There are three main types of behavior:

1. Aggressive.
2. Passive.
3. Confident.

An aggressive person humiliates people and infringes on their interests. Such a person tries to achieve his goal no matter what. Naturally, others do not accept such a person and try to avoid it.

A passive person, on the contrary, is inferior in everything to other people, thus infringing on his own interests. Such an individual gives society the right to decide everything for itself, and as a result does not achieve its goals.

The behavior of a self-confident person differs significantly from the above types of behavior. man, what are his characteristic differences can be identified? Confident person:

Does not solve all issues at the expense of other people;

He achieves his goals without affecting the interests of others;

People are always drawn to such a person;

A confident person often experiences mental comfort;

He brings a lot of positivity into the lives of others;

Such an individual expresses his thoughts without offending the interlocutor.

How to become confident and successful, guided by these theses? Psychologists advise to start, first of all, with the body. Be sure to watch your gestures, posture, posture. Do not slouch, do not lower your head, but, on the contrary, always walk with your shoulders straight and with your head held high. When communicating with the interlocutor, look directly, and not at the floor or to the sides.

A very important element for developing self-confidence is, of course, the voice, as well as the pace of speech. How to become a confident person with the right speech? It is very important that your voice is firm, even and calm. Control it even when you are angry. The pace of speech should not be fast, no hesitations and words such as “well”, “like”, “you know”, etc.

Another important aspect is self-esteem. How to become a self-confident person? Boost your self-esteem! High (but in no case will a person become much more successful in many areas of life.

Uncertainty, low self-esteem are problems that not only women face. According to psychological research, the number of insecure men is growing rapidly from year to year.

You can make an individual plan, break it down into small, realistic goals, and move on to the next item only after completing the previous one.

Use some effective tips and tricks to help you become stress-resistant and self-confident.

• 100% certainty

Absolute faith in yourself. Whatever you do, whatever decision you make, your every action is doomed to success. Learn to take responsibility for your decisions, keep your word, keep your promises. By mentally programming yourself for failure, it is impossible to achieve success. If you think that nothing will work out and any undertaking will end in failure, then so be it. It all starts with thoughts, control them, discard doubts.

• No complaints

Complaining, blaming external circumstances is a sign of weakness. Everything that happens in the life of every person is the result of a choice made, a decision made. Eradicate, weed out the desire to complain at the inception stage. Negative thoughts make you depressed, vulnerable, and insecure. Successful people don't whine or blame the outside world for their own failures. All responsibility is solely on you.

Everyone has difficulties, problems, but someone rises and continues to move forward, while someone gets hung up on failure, experiences it in his thoughts. No matter how hard it is, don't give up. Look for a way out of a difficult situation, solve a problem: this is what successful people do.

• Past failures are in the past

The more time you spend thinking about failures, the more opportunities elude you in the present. Do not scold yourself, do not regret the decisions you have made. Learn to draw conclusions and put them into perspective. Failure is a life experience, a foundation that will make you wiser. Get new knowledge, accumulate practical skills, read books. Only confident men have an inner core. Therefore, all grievances, accusations and claims against the family should remain in the past.

• We rely only on ourselves

Comparison with other, more successful people lowers self-esteem, develops depression. Focus solely on your achievements and victories, evaluate the result only by yourself. The main task is to become a little better every day than yesterday, with its improved version.

• No criticism

Criticism leads to a negative perception of oneself and the world. Do not waste energy on condemnation, concentrate on your own tasks, goals and move on your own way. Praise yourself more, reward yourself for small victories. Do not dwell on your own shortcomings (height, nose size, baldness, etc.) accept them and live on. What you are able to change (weight, bad temper), change, work through.

• organization

Find an activity that disciplines: sports, swimming, jogging, etc. Eat right, become a versatile person with hobbies and hobbies, watch your appearance. This will help you to love yourself, to increase your own significance. A confident person knows his own worth, lives his life without looking back at strangers. By doing what others want, it is impossible to become successful.

For the first time, you can start a diary to organize time, record thoughts. Think over your actions in advance, the possible outcomes of the situation, in order to find an alternative solution if necessary. Remember, when you achieve success, self-esteem skyrockets.

• Environment

Avoid communication with whiners, envious people, people who cause negativity. The environment should be self-confident, positive people with whom it is interesting and informative. Communication should bring pleasure, increase the supply of energy. The same is the case with women. No need to spray on everyone. Next to a successful man can only be a successful girl.

• New acquaintances, public speaking

Understanding the question of how to become courageous and self-confident, remember about new acquaintances. These are impressions, experience, overcoming fears. Communication with new people liberates, allows you to open up, teaches you to express your opinion, respect others. Don't be afraid to show your attitude. There will always be someone who will disagree. For a self-confident person, the opinion of others is unimportant. They move towards the goal, considering only constructive criticism.

These are just some of the tips that will help you become a confident, respectable person. Never count on others, the ability to solve problems on your own is a sign of success. Do not avoid responsibility, make decisions and become the master of your destiny. Success does not come overnight, it will take hard work, but the result is worth it.
