Are there any tricks, methods or techniques to practicing confidence at all times?

Question

Especially being confident in expressing the person you are or would like to practice being?

Answer 1

I think you ought to stick to the person you really are.Stand tall and smile.Be happy with yourself and the confidence will show through naturally.

Answer 2

Visualization would help. If you regularly visualize scenarios where you are competent and successful, eventually you will internalize it. Professional sports players do this to help psych themselves up before a game - visualize themselves doing exceptionally well. Also, mantras - little phrases you repeat over and over to yourself can help. Are you old enough to recall on Saturday Night Live when the guy would do the skit about the show host who would say, "People like me, and I'm a good person," or something to that effect. It was a joke on the show, but it is something people really do and it can be very effective. It's essentially self-hypnosis - even if you don't believe what you're saying at first, if you keep repeating it, your subconscious will eventually accept it as truth, and it will be.

Answer 3

The best answer anyone could give you is to be yourself...think positive thoughts, be confident in everything you do, say, and also your actions....help others, think positive. You can't be someone that you are not, unless you make it a profession to be an actor/actress, you have to be yourself, and don't want to be like the other's...each of us, all humans are all different, all share different qualities about themselves..but, if you think positive, act positive, even if bluffing, it will all turn your confidence into that special someone you are...it's all in how you go about it, how you act towards other's, yourself, your family, friends...be yourself, and never doubt yourselfl..and even when you think you can't be confident about yourself, think positive and you will have confidence, never think negative thoughts about yourself or other's... treat other's well, and don't try and be someone you are not...but, to be confident, you need something that makes you happy, and when you are happy and helping other's even with simple things, you will be confident...but, you want your confidence to come within yourself...and what you think about yourself, is your no. 1 priority. You can't be positive if you are always thinking negative, and you can't be someone that wants you to be a certain way, when it's not you...just be yourself, and things will come back to you positive, and you'll gain your confidence, just don't get conceded...and help other's, that's the biggest confidence booster in the world...and it's okay to be confident, even if you don't feel it...it shows to all around you, and comes back a positive force and peace within yourself.

Answer 4

try this. it helped me no end.
"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too.

All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.
Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now." - goethe

also, be open to change and advice. right and wrong are just opinions, points of view. therefore all things may be considered right and wrong depending entirely on where one sees them from. go forth knowing everything you do is right. be prepared for others to claim you are wrong.
you are fabulous, you are beautiful, be joyful.

try this on, it'll fit beautifully.

"Our Greatest Fear

Marianne Williamson from her book "A Return to Love"


Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate,
but that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.
It is not just in some; it is in everyone.

And, as we let our own light shine, we consciously give
other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our fear,
our presence automatically liberates others." as quoted by nelson mandela in his presidential inauguration speech.

do not play small, you are not.
