What is your biggest obstacle to more self confidence?
You have to feel GOOD about yourself!
Having a low self opinion will affect every aspect of your life especially your ability to socialise and communicate with other people. Poor social performance will negatively affect you, be it at work or school. And at the same time lowering your self-confidences in daily life.
First you need to see and understand that there are lots of good reasons to feel positive about yourself.
Be grateful for what you have. Learn to love and appreciate what you have now before chasing new things you think will make you happy. If you are not happy now with all that you have why do you believe you will be happy with what you gain in the future? Remember your achievements no matter how small. Everybody has done amazing things in their life and you are no exception.
Forgive yourself for your mistakes. Celebrate your strengths and achievements. We are so used to negative feedback that we are more aware of our weaknesses. Change the way you talk to yourself - stop putting yourself down. Be sure that you are not judging yourself against unreasonable standards. REMEMBER, beating yourself for your weaknesses is self defeating.
Forget your past mistakes and focus on your successes encouraging yourself to greater achievements in the future.
