The word confidence can be defined as trust. Therefore, self-confidence could be thought of as trust in yourself. If you ever feel as if you're lacking a trust in yourself, here are five ways to learn to trust yourself.
1. Eliminate the people in your life who use you or don't want you to succeed. I listened to a training call recently, where the speaker called these people pigeons. The only thing these pigeons want to do is poop all over you! Get rid of the pigeons in your life and find more eagles. You know who the eagles are, the opposite of the pigeons!
2. Commit to yourself. Keep promises to yourself. Take a walk, see the doctor or join that gym. Do the things you told yourself you were going to do!
3. Treat yourself with kindness. Lose the negative self-talk. If you wouldn't say it to someone else, "You're too fat, you're too thin, you're not pretty, you're so stupid," don't say it to yourself!
4. Be sure you're making your own decisions. Of course, there are those whose advice you respect, but in the end, do what feels right to you!
5. Have the courage to follow your heart. Intuition and that inner voice are rarely wrong.
