Boosting your self-confidence

      One day while collecting the old newspaper to sell it to the old newspaperman, I found  an article by Trevor Gordan about boosting our self-confidence. I find that it is very useful and  maybe  we can take the good points and apply in our everyday life.
      Everyone of us wants to be happy. We want to feel great about ourselves. Well, to feel self-confident, we need to do thing that give us good reasons to feel optimistic and motivated about ourselves.  According to Gordan there are some painless ways to boost our confidence and self-esteem.
     Always connect with POSITIVE PEOPLE which I agree - 100%. Try to detach from Toxic people.  They are like "emotional vampire" - Gordan name it -who love to suck positive mindset right out of our skull. They include people who put us down, ridicule us, or incapacitate our dreams and aspirations.


   
    SMILE a lot. Its true ... according to research, a person emotionally feels the emotion he or she is acting at the moment. Meaning that, if we act cheerful, we feel cheerful. And smiling is the fastest way to act happy and confident.  Also, our smile is contagious. It makes people want to catch you. Isn't it smile is a type of sedakah. Furthermore, it keeps us look young. 
     CARE FOR PEOPLE/OBJECTS THAT MAKE US FEEL GOOD.  When we care for others, we, in effect, care for ourselves at the same time. Well...what goes around, comes around. Glorify people with P.D.A. (public displays of appreciation).  Shower people we like with thank-you notes, hugs, smiles and calls to thank them.  The most important thing is it must come from the heart - sincere- it helps us feel super.

     Whatever it is, I think the best way to feel self-confident is to do things that give us good reason to feel confident like neutralise our negative thinking, look for solutions more than for problems, and read good news, inspiring articles and books.
