-Winning With Confidence
Emerging as a confident personality is a skill, which
builds in the passage of time. It is not a constant quality as you might be
lacking it in certain situations or in the company of certain people.
A few steps could be followed to gain inner confidence:
1.
Don't be your critic
If we find ourselves overflowing with faults we can't expect
others to find worth in us. Receive a compliment with a ‘Thank you' rather than,
“Oh! Someone else could have done much better”. Or “I don't think it's good
enough”. You don't need to be foolish by picking your own faults when others may
not have taken note of it.
2.
Don't indulge is self-pity
Self-pity is a negative way to solve problem, it makes the
other person bored and disinterested. Be constructive about your problems and
give a break to the ones who listen to your problems day in and day out.
3.
Be relaxed
Take help of breathing exercise or meditation to relax
yourself. Don't trouble yourself with problems which may be a shapeless lump.
Try to make things manageable and clear your mind with “what if?”
4.
Motivate yourself
Do not depend on others to feel secure or happy. Handle your
emotions and stop blaming others for not being successful. You need to be in
command of yourself.
5.
Be positive
Do not threaten yourself by imaging the worst scenario and
thus feel insecure. Not expecting any good would not help. Set a positive frame
of mind and nourish optimism for the work in hand.
Exercise
Pen down your problem and then ponder over all the possible
solutions. List them down and work on the ones you find most effective. See that
it works with your positive approach and trust in your own talent and
capability.
