Posted: 2005-07-12 / Author: Peter Murphy The 6 Golden Rules Of Self ConfidenceIf you are struggling with your self image and want to learn how to increase your self confidence simply implement the following six rules into your daily life.1. Make a list! Build your self confidence by making a list of the things you like about yourself. Everyone has talents and the key is to identify yours and acknowledge them! Whether you are great at multi-tasking or gardening, recognize your strengths and take pride in them. 2. Accept yourself! When you are happy with yourself and accomplishments you will have self confidence. Allow yourself to be proud of your accomplishments, even small ones, and your self esteem will have a strong foundation. 3. Get involved! Teach a class, volunteer in the community or become a mentor. After acknowledging your strengths, find a way to share them with others. Your self confidence will soar when you share your strengths and talents with others. 4. Be realistic! Being honest with yourself and capabilities will take you a long way down the road to self confidence. Demand the best of yourself, but do not demand something that is unattainable. Strive to be the best you can be and you will succeed! 5. Give yourself a chance! Set realistic goals and make a plan to achieve them. If the plan does not work out, keep the ultimate goal in sight and revise the plan. Just because a plan does not work does not mean you cannot attain your goal. It just means you might need to take a different road to get there. 6. Be positive! Eliminate negativity from your life. If your friends and family, or even yourself, are always negative and unsupportive your self esteem will likely suffer. Make sure you have a support group that encourages you and helps you build and maintain your self confidence. Also, support yourself by staying positive. As you can see, you are only a few steps away from attaining the self confidence to engage in any of the activities that once intimidated you. And, the above rules are not difficult to learn and do not require a lot of hard work. Simply make yourself a priority, take pride in your accomplishments and celebrate your uniqueness. Recognizing and sharing your talents will make your self esteem sky rocket and you will finally learn how to build self confidence. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Peter Murphy is a peak performance expert.
