[music] Hello, and welcome to the Accountability Coach podcast, where we will discuss topics, ideas, questions, and issues related to having a totally balanced and successful life. This is Ann Backrack. Today, we're going to talk about 20 surefire ways to boost self-confidence. We are not born with the self-confidence gene. It's really a character trait that we develop as we grow and mature. Our level of self-confidence is related to our level of self-esteem. It is the difference between whether we soar like eagles or huddle like turkeys. A healthy dose of self-confidence increases your opportunities for success, improves your relationships on a business level, as well as the personal level, and makes you a better person to be around. Like many aspects of life, we choose whether we want to live a fulfilling, confident, and happy existence, or live in perpetual fear of failure, clinging on to what little self-esteem we possess. If you feel like you could do with a shot of self-confidence, here are 20 surefire powerful tips to boost your confidence. Number one, take control. Take control of your life rather than letting it control you. Self-confident people call the shots in their own lives and don't allow minor setbacks to fill them with doubt. Number two, accept responsibility. Self-confident people accept responsibility for their lives and their actions. Allowing yourself to consistently play the victim is a self-defeating and limiting way to live. Number three, maintain balance. People who are self-confidence are balanced in their approach to life, business, and love. Number four, positive self-talk. Become your own best friend. Don't allow that voice in your head to be rage or be little you. Convert your thoughts into positive, constructive, and kind words of wisdom and understanding. Number five, abandon should, must, and ought tos. Allowing yourself to be dominated by the shoulds, the musts, and the ought tos is setting yourself up for failure. Be more flexible in your approach and state what you want to achieve, not what you should achieve. Number six, learn from mistakes. Accept that everyone makes mistakes. Learn from your mistakes so that they don't reoccur and don't allow mistakes to override your life. Number seven, be assertive rather than aggressive. Being assertive is saying this is what I would like to have rather than this is what I want and I want it right now. Self-confident people are considerate of others feelings and try not to trample on other people's toes. Number eight, speak with moderation. People who lack self-esteem often speak quietly and get the words out so that they don't waste others valuable time. Do yourself some justice and speak with moderation and a speed of moderate tone and pace. People will listen. Number nine, walk tall. Have you ever noticed how easy it is to spot someone with low self-esteem? Their body language tells you this. So feel more confident. Walk with confidence, walk tall, stretch out your body, straighten your back, hold your head up, put your shoulders back, and walk with a confident stride. Number ten, remember the thing they always say dress to impress. In the same way you notice people with without confidence by their body language, you also notice the way they're dressed or they're attire. You cannot feel confident if your clothes look like they came from the nearest dumpster. Take pride in your parents and you will take pride in yourself. Number eleven, calm the critic. Many people wrongly believe that they can boost their own self-esteem by belittling and criticizing others. It's amazing how a few kind and thoughtful words to another can make you feel good about yourself. Number twelve, don't be judgmental. As human beings, we all pass judgment on others, but that judgment needn't be harsh or critical. Make sure that your judgment call really doesn't allow for a judgment to envelop you and dictate how you really relate to others. Simply note the judgment and move on. Number thirteen, listen and look. People with good self-confidence skills listen intensively when others are speaking. People with low self-esteem hear rather than listen. There's a big difference between hearing and listening. Watch people's faces as they speak to you and take note of their expressions. They are conveying a message that's important to them. Number fourteen, be authentic. Understand that the person you are is real and authentic. Don't attempt to be someone who makes you feel uncomfortable. Take pleasure and comfort in being exactly who you are. Number fifteen, say why not instead of why? Boosting your self-confidence also requires that you step outside your comfort zone. Instead of asking why, ask why not? The opportunities that arise when you say why not can often far outweigh the risks. Number sixteen, negotiate rather than negate. A difference of opinion or a misunderstanding does not have to end in an all-out brawl. Employ a self-confident approach by negotiating a tense situation rather than arguing and fighting needlessly. Number seventeen, embrace change. People who lack self-confidence fear change. Remind yourself that change is just a part of life and that the outcome of most change is really positive. Embrace the joy and sense of achievement you'll feel when you have stepped outside your comfort zone. Number eighteen, be honest. Be honest with yourself and those around you. It can be very rewarding. Be honest with yourself is accepting who you are, faults and all. Being honest with others is a confidence boost because it instills trust. Number nineteen, share. Share your thoughts, feelings, opinions, weaknesses and strengths with others. They'll admire and respect you for it. Number twenty, imagine your imagination really is one of the most cherished possessions. Allow yourself to think outside that box and there's no telling where your imagination can take you. Imagine you are the person you want to be and choose to realize that vision. Which one of these twenty tips will you add to your life and boost your confidence? Make a list and begin adding them one at a time. My hope for our time together is that you've got some value and an idea or two that will help you be even more successful personally and professionally.
