how does one aquire confidence?

Answer 1

By realizing.........(not my words but I love them) that "You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars you have a right to be here."

There is none greater nor lesser than you.

Answer 2

For me, confidence and maturity go hand and hand, whenever you finally get so fed up with all of the crap that you just don't care anymore what anyone thinks about you because you know your a good person and that you always give it your best, that my friend is when you'll have confidence. Confidence is when you get to the point to where when you ask somebody out, you don't necessarily expect them to say yes, but you've already decided that if they say no you're not going to let it bother you because you're going to know that even if they do say no, it's okay because they're the ones missing out!!!

Answer 3

Actually this leads to another question. Is confidence "always" a good thing? I know it's something people always say they need and want but I've seen many people who were confident, too confident and moved forward when they should have had caution.

So I guess what I'm saying is if you don't have confidence in your ability to do something that it turns out you're truly terrible at then maybe thats a "good" thing?

Answer 4

Identify why you feel inferior and work on that. Focus on your positive attributes. Realize that everyone else struggles with some sort of issue. No one is perfect. There are things that you can do better than others. When you find yourself feeling inadequate, think of all the positive things about yourself. Smile. Always smile. People are attracted to happy people. Good luck.

My "10 step plan" to increasing confidence:

1. Begin a journal. Ask yourself what is making you feel like you cannot get to the point in life you want to reach. Write any thoughts that come to mine. Also, write down what self-confidence means to you.











2. Remember the past is over; you can only change the future.
Write down 10 positive things about yourself. Go through your journal and look at all the positive things about yourself. Concentrate on your strengths. These are the reasons you should love yourself and have high self-esteem and self-confidence in yourself. Give yourself credit for everything positive you have written about yourself. Remember, you are somebody special.

3. Accept yourself and learn to love yourself for whom you are a person. Everyone has his or her own unique qualities and characteristics. We are all born differently for a reason. Do not compare yourself to others.

4. Understand yourself mentally, physically and spiritually. Take some time to relax by yourself in a quiet room... Rest on your back with head and neck comfortably supported.

Rest hands on upper abdomen, close your eyes and settle in a comfortable position. Breathe slowly, deeply and rhythmically. Inhalation should be slow, unforced and unhurried. Silently count to four, five or six, whatever feels right for you. When inhalation is complete, slowly inhale through the nose. Count this breathing out, as when breathing in. The exhalation should take as long as the inhalation. There should be no sense of strain. If initially, you feel you have breathed your fullest at a count of three, which is all right. Try gradually to slow down the rhythm until a slow count of five or six is possible, with a pause of two or three between in and out breathing.

5. Be ready. Self-confidence comes a lot easier to the person who is sure their ready.

6. Strengthen your inner self. Write down in your journal what you will be able to do once you acquire the confidence you need.

7. Begin changing what you do not like about yourself. Confidence comes from within. You need to concentrate on the positive things about yourself.

8. Notice the change in our self-esteem and self-confidence. Reward yourself each time you do something that makes you feel proud...go out some place or take it easy for the day.

9. Learn how to give and take. Confidence is being able to find a balance between giving help to people and excepting when we need help

10. Have a tremendous amount of pride in yourself. Remember, you are number one!


ng when we need help.

Answer 6

Confidence in what? The way you look, how smart you are, how you dress, how you speak, who is attracted to you, how much money you make, who you are in life, how you treat other people,, if you're a good lover, if your family loves you, are you a good friend, do you get my message? I really think you're half way there, if you are concerned about this subject at all., self esteem begins with caring about having it in the first place. Welcome home.
