six ways to instantly boost your confidence

Confidence is not something you have – it’s something you create. Confidence comes from within. It’s a deep sense of self-belief and an inner knowing that you are capable of anything you set your mind to; that no matter what challenges life throws at you, you will be able to deal with them and see them as opportunities for growth.

Here are six ways you can instantly embody confidence:

1. Listen to your body.

Let your body do the talking: strike a power pose, check your posture and relax.

2. Start your day positively.

Practise positive self-talk with morning affirmations and be your biggest motivator.

3. Watch your emotions.

Replace negative emotions like catastrophizing and blaming yourself, with certainty, confidence and calm.

4. Get visualising.

Practise goal visualisation and imagine yourself succeeding.

5. Look at your beliefs.

Identifying and addressing your limiting beliefs can be transformative. A coach can help you do that.

6. Celebrate past wins.

Remind yourself of past accomplishments and celebrate your wins.
