Developing Self-Confidence
What is Self-Confidence?
A feeling of trust in your own abilities, qualities and
judgements
It's not always easy to be confident in yourself, particularly if
you're naturally self-critical, or if other people put you down.
But there are steps that you can take to increase and maintain
your self-confidence.

4. Self-confidence is linked to almost every element
involved in a happy and fulfilling life.
More Resilience
Confidence gives you the skills and coping methods to handle setbacks
and failure. Self-confidence doesn’t mean you won’t sometimes fail.
But you’ll know you can handle challenges and not be crippled by
them.
Greater Motivation
As your confidence grows, you’ll find yourself more driven to stretch
your abilities. “What-if” thoughts will still arise but Instead, you’ll be
able to grin and act anyway, feeling energized by your progress in
pursuing goals that mean something to you.

The more confident you become, the more you’ll be
able to calm the voice inside you that says, “I can’t do
it.” You’ll be able to unhook from your thoughts and
take action in line with your values.
Stronger Sense of Your Authentic Self
Finally, confidence roots you in who you really are.

they don’t change your self-worth. You'll also be able
to celebrate your strengths and use them more fully.
