Self confidence is needed in every field whether you are a sportsperson or a student. Building self confidence is necessary for both personality development as well as self-development. As said by a great personality "If you have no confidence in self, you are twice defeated in the race of life. With confidence, you have won even before you have started". It is very easy to lose confidence but very hard to build self-confidence. Everyone wants to be successful in their life which is possible only if they have faith in themselves.

Some tips on building self confidence are discussed below.Focus on plus points.Try not to bring negative thoughts in your mind. Do not hanker for what is not possible. Try to pay more attention towards your plus points. Everyone has some or the other weakness but it should not stop them from moving ahead. Just do not keep thinking about that weakness, it will lower your self confidence. Make a list of things that you are good at and try to focus more on them. Try to set goals for yourself.

Let's take for example that the cause for which you have committed yourself is selling. You think, feel and is motivated to help people find products and services that would improve or simplify their lives and business processes. Your commitment to be the best salesman that ever was through study and application would endow you with the next step to building self-confidence which is courage.

I know it works because I got pretty fat a few years ago. I weighted so much that they had to put counter weights on the hospital scales when they weighed me; and I lost about 10 pounds a month for 6 months. Not only that, but I've kept it off without dieting or going to the gym.Tip: Use a formula based on Aristotle Ethics, which can help you subconsciously change the way you think about food; and it'll make it easier for you make the right dietary choices.

Your subconscious mind is incredibly powerful, and you'll make the right choices IF you're able to harness its dynamic force. Then, you'll be able to lose weight without dwelling on you weight problem; like you have to with most diets.Tip: Build self-confidence and esteem with self-improvement skills, which help you subconsciously make the right choices.Use an easy-to-do method; one that's simple. Socrates, the philosopher from ancient Greece, is credited; by some historians, for developing one that you can do while you're in your underwear & relaxing in a Lazy-boy. It's so easy-to-do, you can perform the simple ACTIONS even while you're relaxing on your bed.

Self Confidence and Self Esteem is one of the major problems in this world whether you are aware or not. Low self esteem results to an unsuccessful life. If you lack self esteem, you don't have self worth making you feel unworthy of success. This makes you feel that you are incapable of doing things that will bring you success.

Tip: Don't get hooked on a fad diet to lose weight fast.There's an association guilt factor, because; when people backslide, they have a propensity to eat 'comfort food' advertised on TV. Yeah, they get real comfortable; and they get fatter too.Dieting quite often sways your subconscious mind to continue to make unhealthy choices. And, you don't want to get too fat; because you might pop--or at least your heart could.

Focus on your good results.The problem with us people is that we tend to look for what is lacking in their life or in their results. We forget to tap ourselves in the back and celebrate whenever we did something good. Success doesn't need to be extravagant. All the small successes that we acknowledge will contribute to boosting our self confidence. As we do this everyday, we tend to feel better and more confident about ourselves.

Here are 3 steps to help improve your self-confidence.Keep a positive attitude about yourself and your abilities. This is really important because if you have a poor attitude and do not believe you can do something then you probably will not have the fortitude to do so. I know this may sound silly but it has everything to do with how you perceive yourself and your abilities.Knowledge is power and without it you are lost. Part of the reason we lack self-confidence is because we lack knowledge in the area of what we want to achieve. It is important to learn everything you can about what you are trying to accomplish so that you will not be guessing about what needs to be done or how to do it.

Practice, practice and more practice. You have heard that practice makes perfect well it is really critical for giving you the confidence to succeed at something. Once you take in the knowledge you need then work on practicing the steps to achieving it. There may be certain parts that you can do easily and then there will be other areas that you need to work at before you have the right skill level for you success.These 3 steps combined together can really help you along in your endeavor to increase your level of self-confidence. Remember do not give up on the first few times of trying to do something. It will take some time to get you to the skill level to succeed. Also the more you do this in everything you do the better level of self-esteem you will have. Then you this will help to inspire and motivate you to do more things that are important to you. I know it really made a difference in my life and for my family.
