Self Empowerment in Action

Gaining more confidence is a process that can take time and effort, but there are several things you can do to help build your confidence:

• Identify your strengths: Make a list of your positive qualities and accomplishments. Focus on what you’re good at and what you’re proud of, rather than dwelling on your weaknesses or shortcomings.
• Practice self-care: Taking care of your physical and emotional needs can help you feel more confident. Get enough sleep, eat well, exercise regularly, and practice relaxation techniques like meditation or deep breathing.
• Set achievable goals: Start with small, achievable goals and gradually work your way up to bigger ones. When you achieve a goal, celebrate your success and use it as motivation to keep going.
• Face your fears: Identify the things that make you feel anxious or insecure, and challenge yourself to face them. Start with small steps and gradually build up to more challenging situations. Make it a game!
• Practice self-compassion: Treat yourself with kindness and compassion, just as you would a good friend. Don’t beat yourself up for mistakes or setbacks; instead, use them as opportunities to learn and grow.
• Surround yourself with positive people: Spend time with people who support and encourage you, and who make you feel good about yourself. Avoid people who bring you down or make you feel insecure.
• Become more curious! Play with exchanging resistance to something new with becoming more curious. To detect your resistance, training your awareness e.g. with walking meditation may be necessary. Curiosity make you feel more exited than fearful of what is to come that you can’t control.

Remember that building confidence takes time and practice. Be patient with yourself and keep working at it, and over time you will begin to feel more self-assured and confident in yourself and your abilities.

Play and enjoy!
