Learn how to increase confidence so you can achieve a goal you have set, decrease stress, and improve your happiness.

"Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do."
Benjamin Spock, author of 'Baby and Child Care', 1977

If you want to increase self-confidence you need to learn that it has so much to do with attitude aside from ability.

I've known many people who, while they lacked ability in a particular area, absolutely 'oozed' confidence! I'm not talking about bragging about how superior they are at tennis, or singing, or public speaking - when really they're not. I'm speaking about feeling fine about not being skilled in those fields and doing them anyway!

Some things are just not important enough to fret about - but we do just the same and generate pointless stress for ourselves. Whether you fall over attempting to ice-skate, make a hash of cooking, fail at DIY or just fear that you may not be good at using a PC if you tried it, so you don't - does it actually matter?

Of course there are a number of things that are important! Being excellent at your work is one of them; creating good relationships is another. In these instances you must find some methods to assist you.

What building selfconfidence boils down to is getting rid of that voice within your head that tells you that you'll fail if you try, that you're no good at this kind of thing, that you'll make a fool of yourself - or whatever the specific message is that rocks your self-confidence.

Those messages don't necessarily tell the truth:

They might have been told to you, in the past, by other people who had their own agenda. Sometimes people would say things to put you down so they feel better about themselves!

They could have been your own interpretation of what someone said. Usually what we hear is not what is meant, so if I say "You're not very good at sporting activities", you may hear that as a criticism or somebody saying "You're a failure!"

They could be based on a specific experience you had that caused you to write that message in your head yourself. Let's say you tried designing a bookcase once but it didn't look very good once you completed it. Therefore, in your mind you believe you're no good at carpentry and can never try again. But you could have acknowledged that this wasn't too bad for your first attempt and that you'd most likely improve with experience.

Your own attitude is the factor that will carry you to success, or defeat you before you even start.

If you don't believe you can do it - odds are very high that you won't. And when you believe all of the negative messages from the past, you may as well put up a brick wall between you and your goals. (And don't forget, you fail 100% of the opportunities you don't even go for!)

However if you believe you could do it, when you can visualise yourself in your mind doing it, odds are very strong that you will succeed!

There's a saying: "Change the way you look at things and the things you look at would change." (The half full - half empty glass is an example of this!)

However you do not have to do this on your own, and confidence coaching will assist you to to find other ways of viewing things. Then the coach will help you to determine your negative beliefs and destroy those brick walls that stand between you and your own goals. Developing your confidence will really help you to achieve what you want from life.
