Be confident in yourself. What if we could eliminate the amount of times we second-guess ourselves? Well, you can. The trick, if you want to call it that, is to simply be more confident in the decisions and actions you are taking.
•Have you never seen someone who is sporting something out of the ordinary, but just seems normal and isn't being judged? If you are wearing yellow shoes and are clearly uncomfortable about them, people are going to target you: they can see your insecurity and they'll attack you in order to feel better about themselves. Don't pre-judge yourself before others do; they'll be less likely to judge you in the first place!
•Here are some small, but powerful, self-confidence boosters that you can try on for size:
•Smile. The act of smiling may boost your self-esteem organically, science suggests.[1] If you smile more often, you send messages to other people that you are friendly, and they'll be more likely to smile back, be happy, and even forgive you.
•Visualize success. Don't think about the "what if I fail...?" thought that is probably wandering around in your head. Instead, think to yourself: "How will I succeed?"
•Break down goals into small pieces. Don't set yourself up for failure. Set yourself up for success. If your goal is to be more confident around guys (or girls), break the goal into small parts: eye contact, conversation, flirting, etc. Reward yourself when you complete a small part of each larger goal.
