When we lack confidence in self, it points to our younger years. Poor self confidence comes from poor appreciation of self. It can be a result of put-downs that we come across in our growing-up years from parents, teachers, peers, siblings, etc - they are called parent figures. These parental appreciation or put-downs affect a lot our life as adults. This determines our self image. The quality of the decisions we make and the things that we do are determined by the quality of our self image. Our success or failure in life depends on the strength of our self image.
The key here is to understand what sort of parental put-downs are at work in our subconscious level. Once you realize what irrational thoughts are at work in the back of your head (behind everything that you do or think), they disappear. It is like you bring light to where there is darkness, the darkness disappears. Then, you need to replace the old defeating beleafs about yourself with new empowering beliefs. Think about the times you have done things really well. Remember all your successes throughout your live, even very minor ones. Write them down in a diary. Only learn from your failures and thank life for giving you an opportunity to learn and improve yourself from the failures.
It is important to realize that every person on this earth is unique and important. Respect others and respect yourself.
Meditation or spending some time with yourself, journal writing, developing a hobby, etc will help.
There is no short cut to great self confidence. People develop it gradually, start from point 0 and keep working on developing it. It is an ongoing process.
Books will help give you a direction.. I would suggest two books to begin with -1. Born to Win, 2. Unlimited Power. There are a lot of techniques to learn. Developing a habbit of reading good quality books is a great way to develop self image. And remember, knowledge is power, so if you want more power within, read more.
Finally, spend time more with friends who encourage you and point out where you can improve rather than those who discourage you.
Good luck!

The simple trick is to try and err. The child does that when it tries to walk. It falls many a time befor it gains the confidence and strength to walk without faltering. You also do the same thing, for you to gain confidence in yourself. Never shy away from any situation which warrants your doing it. Do it, however falteringly and gain confidence in doing that . The difference between an expert in a thing and novice in that is the amount of labour and time spent on it.

HI ANA...
FIRST OF ALL I WOULD LIKE TO SAY YOU ONE THING AND THAT IS: WE ARE THE BEST FOR OURSELVES.
Your problem is quite geninue becos..todays young generations is loosing self-confidence quite significantly..but at the same time the reason are they themselves...i would explain how..
See if you are a student then you would feel that u have lots of pressure as like...Studies,Personal Life,Friend circle etc etc...but to be free with you the only geninue problem that you have is only CAREER..BUT BEING IN A CHANGING SURROUNDING u feel pressure...
Anyways in such conditions..u need to have positive outlook in your life..always you should belive that WHATEVER HAPPENS IT HAPPENS FOR THE BEST...you should never feel yourself let down even if u fail in your educational academics...
Remember every stage of life gives us new experiences..so try to leanr from experiences and not to avoid..the day u would try to be more positive in your approach..then you would automatically gain your self-confidence.....
Lastly:
IT TAKES ROUGH SEA TO MAKE A GREAT CAPTAIN.
Hv A Nice day .TK CR. Bye Bye.

at the beginning many congratulations on the secure arrival of your infant. Now it incredibly is in simple terms 9 weeks in view that he exchange into born and you have been pregnant for 9 months, very few women human beings loose their infant weight that immediately and in no way whilst they have had a scientific worry such as you had. So called celebrities have the income of non-public running shoes, nannies and remember spanx underclothes. Your tummy muscular tissues will get better in time, why no longer come across a submit-natal gymnasium type? undergo in techniques you have a incredible son and a guy who loves you.

First and foremost, if you are a Christian, know that you are a child of God. God will never leave you or foresake you. Put your trust in God. Don't put all your beans on another person or yourself because we are all sinful.
Secondly, do whatever you do to the best of your ability to serve others. What will be is what it will be. There is nothing you can do about it. Just do your best and leave the rest to God.

Join a kickboxing class, or buy a similar exercise tape. I've found that exercise makes me confident because I FEEL good after a good workout.

the best way to gain confidence within u is by speaking what u feel boldly... v should not mind who is in front of us, or what v r talking is right or wrong, v should come out freely with our views.... no matter wheather v r correct or not...
the first enemy of confidence is shyness...
v should not feel shy for anything,once if v feel its correct..
