A million words have been written by scholars from all walks of life suggesting ways to ‘boost’ one’s self confidence. Truth be told, is there only one such method that applies to all of our unique minds? No, there isn’t. Each of us desire that little push and rise in our level of confidence every now and then. But the way for each of us to derive confidence is as unique as us. Here are some methods that’ll help you find the way to help you get that extra dose of confidence when you need it:

On most occasions, we lack self-confidence because we haven’t has a winning experience in quite a while. Simply put, you haven’t felt like you’ve achieved anything worth mentioning. So when you’re running low in confidence, create some by doing things you enjoy doing and especially those which you’re great at. It may or may not give you monetary benefits but it will still lift your mood up, right? Find a sense of purpose and follow it.
You’re Good Enough
When you compare yourself to others with better hair, better speech, better clothes, more money or an accomplished life, you feel small in comparison. We’ve all been there. That’s why we can tell you that the constructive thing to do here is to learn from them. Understand their journey, their struggle and inculcate those in your own life. You stand to lose nothing. Moreover, nothing coming from a place of jealousy looks pretty. Just because they are great doesn’t mean you aren’t. You are perfect in your own right.
Own Yourself Up!

Believe that you are a work in progress and do not be embarrassed if you fall short in anyway. Believe in your own journey. You give someone the power to look down on you only when you believe you’re less in anyway. When you’re proud of where you come from and where you stand today, only then you can be celebrated. Your confidence comes from within. You might not have reached your destination yet, but believe you have what it takes to reach there.

Even though, this article is to boost your self-confidence, we will let you in on a secret about other ‘confident’ people. No one is born with unconditional confidence. If you see someone with a treasure of confidence and spotless armor of charm, rest assured that they have spent years in building it. While it is not the right way for us to feel better about ourselves, but you will always have something someone else truly wants. Just like the way you feel about others many times, right? So be happy with what you have and be honest about it.
Self-Confidence is a state of mind, my friend. The simplest formula to get up confidently each day is to believe that you have everything you need to survive this day. When you achieve gratefulness for all that you have, you will find a change in your mindset immediately.
