Positive thinking, practice, training, knowledge and talking to other people are all useful ways to help improve or boost your confidence levels.This is Frank Mars with Frank Mars Learning English,we are talking about building confidence today. Confidence comes from feelings of well-being, acceptance of your body and mind (self-esteem) and belief in your own ability, skills and experience. Low-confidence can be a result of many factors including: fear of the unknown, criticism, being unhappy with personal appearance (self-esteem), feeling unprepared, poor time-management, lack of knowledge and previous failures. Confidence is not a static measure, our confidence to perform roles and tasks can increase and decrease; some days we may feel more confident than others.People often feel less confident about new or potentially difficult situations. Perhaps the most important factor in developing confidence is planning and preparing for the unknown.If you are applying for a new job for example, you would be wise to prepare for the interview. Plan what you would want to say in the interview and think about some of the questions that you may be asked. Practise your answers with friends or colleagues and gain their feedback. Helen Keller - Author, political activist, and lecturer. The first deaf and blind person to earn a BA degree in the US,said: “Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence”.The basic rules of positive thinking are to highlight your strengths and successes and learn from your weaknesses and mistakes. This is a lot easier than it sounds, we often dwell on things that we are not happy with from our past - making them into bigger issues than they need to be. These negative thoughts can be very damaging to confidence and your ability to achieve goals.~Jessica Harlow tells about How To Boost Your Confidence~~~~~(Jessica’s voice)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Speaking to and being around people who are confident will usually help you to feel more confident. Learn from others who are successful in fulfilling the tasks and goals that you wish to achieve - let their confidence rub off on you. As you become more confident then offer help and advice, become a role-model for somebody less confident. Experience:As we successfully complete tasks and goals, our confidence that we can complete the same and similar tasks again increases. Be Assertive: Being assertive means standing up for what you believe in and sticking to your principles. Avoid Arrogance:Arrogance is harmful for interpersonal relationships. As your confidence grows and you become successful, avoid feeling or acting superior to others. Remember - nobody is perfect, there is always more that you can learn. Celebrate your strengths and successes and recognize your weaknesses and failures. Give others credit for their work - use compliments and praise sincerely. Admit to your mistakes and be prepared to laugh at yourself! Question today:How do you make yourself more confident?
