Confidence Tips

Stop discounting yourself - recognise your personal qualities and give yourself credit for what you do. Avoid saying things like "that doesn't count", "other people could do it better" and "anyone could have done it" - congratulate yourself the way you would your best friend.
At the end of each day write down 3 things that you are pleased with or have done well - for example, "I handled the call with my ex better than I thought I would", "I liked the way I spoke to the kids", "I made an effort to look nice today", "I'm glad I went out even though I didn't want to". The little things build confidence as much as big life events.

Get a makeover - you don't have to spend a fortune to do this. Find a charity shop in a good residential area and you will often find designer clothes and other good quality items for next to nothing. Find out where your local hairdressing and beauty training schools are, as they will be looking for models and charge very little. Changing the way you look can give your confidence a boost.

Think about yourself and your needs - it is all too easy to meet everyone else's needs and forget your own. If you do this you drain your confidence levels.

Learn to say 'No' - find an assertiveness training course at a local adult education institute.

When you find yourself saying, "I can't" say "What's the worst that can happen?"

Fat, thin, tall or short people are attracted to those who smile and are approachable. Try acting as if you are this type of person and you'll be surprised at how many friends you make.

Confident people take risks. You cannot improve your life if you don't so - do something different with your life after all you only get once chance.

Use your support systems, talk to family and friends. If you think you are being a bother asking yourself if you would feel that way if the situation were reversed. Give people who love you a chance to show you.
