Ultimate self-confidence-push tips

TIP:

Stop comparing yourself all the time

People with low self-confidence tend to see only the strengths in others and only the weaknesses in themselves. He is much slimmer, prettier, and braver … than I am. That’s how you make others into giants and yourself into a dwarf. Stop it! There is always someone who is superior to you somewhere. You can learn something from them, okay. But don’t use the others to devalue yourself. If you want to compare yourself, then rather with yourself. What do you do better now than before? What have you achieved lately? There must be something. Take a closer look and build yourself up on it.

 “I’m good list”

We are all masters at making ourselves aware of our mistakes. But it’s high time to learn to praise yourself. Because that’s what builds you up. So sit down and write down everything you’ve accomplished so far. For example, third place in a karaoke competition, the organisation of a brilliant party, the threesome in the last school assignment … Ten points are the minimum for this list. After that, write down everything you are good at. E.g. I can listen well, dance, play basketball…

Just thinking about your positive qualities strengthens your self-esteem. Read your list to yourself again and again and add to it. Because just as your “put-downs” – “My belly is too fat” … – have crept in, the uplifting sentences must now become a habit.

 Don’t overdo it!

Okay, you’ve decided to become more self-confident. That’s good. But find your own pace. You don’t have to confess your love to your crush in front of everyone tomorrow. Take it slowly. For example, dare to smile at your crush or wear something you usually find too conspicuous. If you take on too much at the beginning, you may experience defeats that don’t build you up but drag you down. So take it step by step.

Make your own film in your head

Imagine a bar of your favourite chocolate. Well, did your mouth just water? We react to imaginations just as strongly as we do to reality. And that’s exactly what you can do.

Imagine the situation that scares you the most in all its details. Above all, think carefully about how you would prefer to behave in the situation. You will see that the more often you play this film in your head, the more it will influence your actual behaviour.

Move strong

Sport strengthens your self-confidence. No matter what you do, whether it’s running, martial arts, swimming, basketball or aerobics: afterwards you can be really proud of yourself and feel totally relaxed. You can also feel how much energy you actually have inside you. And that is like honey for your soul. In addition, regular intensive exercise releases happiness hormones in the body. These put you in a positive mood.

You are only half as important to the others

When you have to go to the blackboard, you feel that everyone is looking at your bottom and seeing how fat it is. You are sure that everyone is staring at that spot on your body or that annoying pimple on your face. Relax. For the others, the lesson is probably so boring that they don’t really look up when you go out. Anything you notice in particular is only half as interesting to the others. So don’t panic!

Now all that’s left is to wish you good luck.
