How to develop faith in yourself

Developing self-confidence is a real thing, but not an easy one. You will have to work hard, and on several fronts. The main direction is: to gain knowledge, skills, life experience, to become really more successful and efficient. An auxiliary direction is to develop the right attitude towards oneself and towards people, the ability to see one’s own merits, to feel one’s strength. Since it is this direction that belongs to the field of practical psychology, our tips will be as follows:

Get out of the position of the Victim, develop in yourself the position of the Author of your life. Make it a rule for yourself — in a difficult situation, instead of feeling sorry for yourself, angry or upset, look for an opportunity: 1). Rethink what is happening. In any situation, there is not only «horror», but also its advantages. Which? 2). Destroy what happened. “What can be done right now to resolve the situation?” 3). Prevent similar situations in the future. Life is big, and today’s trouble, if the right conclusions are drawn from it, may be a wonderful lesson. These are your three Author Keys. It is not obvious that in any situation you will be able to implement all three options, but if you do just one, you are already out of the position of the Victim.

If you see the bad in everything and are used to swearing at least at others, at least at yourself, then it will be bad with faith in yourself. What to do? Develop a positive attitude in yourself, this is quite real. A positive attitude is a positive attitude towards life, towards people and towards oneself. Such an attitude in our culture is not very accepted and underdeveloped, but it is definitely worth developing, it is it that gives a vision of opportunities and a desire to do something in this world.

Work with your limiting beliefs. While you keep repeating to yourself: “I can’t, I’m not given, I don’t know how!” — you will not move forward reliably anywhere. Believing in yourself starts when you start saying more uplifting things about yourself. Remove the Victim vocabulary from your vocabulary and learn more positive affirmations. “I am confident in myself. My business is getting better and better every day!” Repeating such formulas is not tricky, but it helps well. Check it out!

For many, the practice of successful non-standard actions helped to develop self-confidence. It’s one thing, you know “I can’t do anything”, it’s another thing that you can meet girls on the street, read poetry and sing songs, ask for 50 USD and hand out money on the subway … The feeling of lightness and freedom is worth it, at least once in a lifetime to practice non-standard actions. At first, it is better to do it in a company, it is safer and more fun.
