Never say never. It’s a limiting word because the moment we say “never,” it’s like we’re shutting down all possibilities. The truth is, we don’t know everything, and life can change in a second, as we’ve all realized over the last couple of years. So, when we say, “I could never do that,” or “I’ll […]
Create a playlist of irresistible songs to sing and dance to. Here’s why: when they start playing, you can’t help but move to the music and start singing. And what does that do? It brings you into your body, takes you out of your head, and grounds you in the present moment. If it’s a […]
Use power poses and make them super creative. The beautiful thing about our body is that in a second, our physiology can change our entire state. If I’m standing in a slouched position, I won’t feel very confident. But the moment I open my chest, lift my head higher, and start smiling boom! Hear me […]
Take breaks to give yourself space to come up with brand-new ideas. It doesn’t matter what you’re doing, whether you’re writing your next book, creating a series of online videos, or preparing for a keynote presentation with extensive research and rehearsal. When we feel pressure, we often push ourselves to keep going without breaks. However, […]
Do things that enrich your confidence levels and bring you joy. If you don’t believe in what you’re doing, sharing, saying, or giving to the world, why would anyone else believe your message? A great way to build your self-belief and self-love is to engage in activities that nourish your spirit, bring you happiness, and […]
Stay flexible. This is crucial for our confidence because rigidity and fixed expectations can lead to stress when things change. If we tense up in response to these changes, we’ll radiate nervousness and stress, which can be off-putting and prevent us from delivering our message effectively. Additionally, if we’re destabilized by factors beyond our control, […]
Record yourself on camera to boost your confidence. I know this can trigger thoughts like, “I don’t like how I look,” “I don’t like the sound of my voice,” or “I just don’t like filming altogether.” But you know what? Every time you do it, you’ll push through a small milestone and a fear barrier. […]
Stop focusing on your weaknesses and instead choose to focus on your strengths. It’s so easy for us to fall into the habit of focusing on what’s not right, what isn’t good enough, or what could be better. We’ve been conditioned to do this, and it’s almost like a default mode that we easily slip […]
Don’t say the word “try.” It’s detrimental to our confidence. What does “try” actually imply? It suggests that you might attempt something but not succeed, or that you might fail. When we say, “I’ll try to do that,” we all know how it might turn out. Instead, say, “I’ll give it a shot,” “I’ll do […]
Don’t downplay your achievements. It’s terrible for your confidence if you’ve invested time, effort, energy, and love into something and then downplay the success when you achieve it. We need to celebrate our accomplishments because in doing so, we’re telling ourselves that it’s okay to feel good about our successes and to feel confident in […]
