Tips on Being Confident

























1-Dress up, look your best! When you look good, you feel good! (True - a shower, make-up and a nice outfit is better than prozac).


2-Do something you really like and are good at doing and share it. (Can be baking, being a good friend, telling jokes, styling hair, sewing, being considerate, etc).


3-Walk with your shoulders back, chin up, NOT looking down at your feet, walk a tad faster, make eye contact and wear a SMILE! (People will smile back at you, it's infectious).


4-Be grateful! Think constantly about all you are thankful for! (Amen).


5-Accept criticism without being defensive and accept compliments with grace.


6-When you pass by a mirror give yourself a WINK & a GRIN!


7-Do something for others. When you give to others, you give to yourself and it makes you feel good inside.


8-FINISH what you start! Follow through! DO what you say you will do.


9-Face your fears. Do something everyday that removes you from your comfort zone. THIS is how you GROW. (Makes you ready for anything).


10-Get organized, prepared and ready for tasks. (Preparation is key).


11-Improve your body language. Be PRESENT in a room but be approachable. ( Presence will attract people to come and talk to you).


12-Surround yourself with people that lift you up but remember YOU are responsible for your own HAPPINESS! (Move on from the energy sucking pessimists in the room with a polite excuse me).


13-Give sincere praises to others without expecting for one in return. Don't fish for compliments. (Everyone loves being complimented but it can get a little scary if it's over done and fishing for a compliment shows immense insecurity).


14-KNOW yourself, make a decision and stick to it! (Dithering or reneging on a promise is a no-no).


15- Learn to accept and be comfortable with your imperfections. Learn to be comfortable in your own skin. (After all if you like you so will others).
