How to Build Confidence

It’s not necessary that a person wearing the best of clothes will also be confident enough. A girl wearing sky high stilettos may be taller than you, but her confidence may also waver while trying to express herself. Instead, confidence is a quality which builds up slowly and becomes an integral part of your personality.

The first step to show your confidence and build it is to maintain eye contact with people you are talking to. It doesn’t only make the other person feel important, but also shows your confidence to express yourself and keep your thoughts in front of others boldly. It will help in making you feel confident in front of others.

When you lack confidence, the body seems to betray your actual actions and your expressions reveal your true state. The need is to control such nervous tics like fidgeting with the pain, twisting a few strands of hair again and again gives an easy hint to the other people about your nervousness.

Talking in a very fast manner also shows lack of confidence and uncertainty in your behavior so; you must practice to speak slowly while giving proper pause in between.

Then, one must also pay attention to the way he sits or stands. While sitting or standing, one should be in upright posture with shoulder at the back. The arms should be uncrossed and head should be held high. By this, you cut a confident personality in front of others.

The worst enemy which keeps you pulling back is your comfort zone which doesn’t let you do anything out of it. You must take a leap from your comfortable setting and show your confidence by taking initiative to do new things.

Following these simple tips, one can certainly find a good boost in one’s confidence level.
