How to build self confidence

Self confidence is a personal journey we're all going to take different paths but ultimately we're all on the same road and we're doing this together.

The word confidence is derived from Latin :

                                                      CON - FIDES   it means : WITH - FAITH
with faith in an ability in someone or in yourself. There are no right or wrong ways to build self confidence because right and wrong is subjective, everyone is on  a different path.

The tips I'm giving you today are universal, it's going to help, jump, start your journey.

 Remember that confidence is like a mental muscle,like muscle everyone is born with it but not everyone
 flexes it and if you want your muscles to grow stronger you got exercise. So here are my exercising tips:

Think positive thoughts:

Especially during moments when you're feeling down. So take a deep breath and remind yourself that life is too short and you got to make the best of it

 Listen to positive music:

Listen to music that will left your mood. A good beat and sound has been proven to help people in a positive way. Music and sound has been know to help the growth of plants, that says a lot ! You ant to have a healthy habit of maintaining this mental muscle, but you also don't want to over do it, everything in moderation because balance is key. It's good to remind yourself from time to time how worthy and how awesome you are but you also want to leave room to grow and improve, I mean we can all change for the better.

Instead on focusing on the negatives -which I know can be hard- focus on the positive. And it doesn't have to be a physical thing, maybe you are amazing at Mario kart or you're a brilliant pianist, an amazing painter a singer, have great grades at school.....
No one is perfect at everything and we are all made to be perfectly imperfect. Kind of like a crystal,
see it's not perfectly cut like a flawless diamond but it's beautiful  on it's own unique way. There won't be another crystal like another one and just like you it has many many facets, and you'll be discovering more of them as time goes by. And if you don't think you have a quality ask yourself the simple question : What am I good at? Everyone is good at something and if you don't know what it is, well  take this opportunity to find one. Sing up for cooking classes, painting classes, learn how to sing, play some sport pick up on a passion ans nourish it, because this helps build self worth. It gives you something to strive for.

The journey to build self confidence is not a lonely road, essentially everyone is on the same journey. Find someone you can trust and share your insecurities with. It feels good to let it out and just get it off your chest and if you feel like you don't have anyone to talk too, just go online, I mean that's kind of the beauty of the digital world. You can find a forum or a support group for anything and you can go on there and be yourself and share your thoughts, your insecurities without being judged and the best part you're going to remain anonymous.
 I know it's tough especially with these websites and apps, and you know it's so easy to find a picture or a video where it's going to make you feel insecure about yourself,but you have to stop obsessing about the cannot's and start focusing on the what can. What can I do to improve myself?
Everyone is going  to take a different  path, and maybe exercising, going back to school, coloring your hair getting rid of negative friends. I mean as long as you're physically and mentally not harming the person you love I see no wrong paths to take towards happiness.

Teaching, mentoring  and caring for others is the greatest gift you can give to others and yourself. Not only is the other person is going to feel better but you will too. LOVING OTHERS WILL INSPIRE YOU TO LOVE YOURSELF
And you know what? This journey is not going to be easy, there's going to be times when you want to give up when you're going to feel lost, you can't walk further down this journey so you have to remind yourself that if you want to build self confidence and you have to stay positive and that is ....

There is  this quote I found and that I really like :

Think like a proton and stay positive

A positive mind will open more doors, don't just limit yourself to one path and give yourself as many as you need until your reach your destination, and once you find your confidence enjoy it, savor it  and when you're feeling down bring that feeling back to your mind and remind yourself that this is an attitude you own and control it.

You are all perfectly imperfect and at the end of the day that is what makes you special. GOOD LUCK !

Love  ya
