Chapter 4 Self-Confidence: The Number One Secret to Success
Self-confidence is a kind of ability, but also a kind of quality.Without self-confidence, how can the king of Yue cut off the golden weapon of the king of Wu?Without self-confidence, how could Xiqin rule the world?Without self-confidence, how can Genghis Khan become a generation of pride?With self-confidence, even if you are in a desperate situation, you can welcome the bright future.Learn to appreciate yourself, tell yourself "I can do it", applaud yourself, cheer yourself up, and life will collide with dazzling sparks.

Self-confidence, not self-confidence, two results

Self-confidence is a valuable quality and a powerful force.Confidence is believing in yourself.Our career, love, life, work, no matter which field we are in, self-confidence is extremely important.Confidence can bring people an optimistic attitude, make people full of wisdom, give people magical power, and help people to succeed faster.Whether a person is confident or not, the result is absolutely different.

Once, the famous Russian dramatist Stanievsky was rehearsing a play.Unfortunately, the heroine suddenly couldn't perform for some reason, and Stanievsky couldn't find anyone, so he had to ask his eldest sister to take the role.His eldest sister is just a costume and props manager. Now that she is suddenly asked to play the leading role, she has a feeling of inferiority and cowardice, thinking how can she play a leading role well as a props manager.Driven by this kind of psychology, of course she couldn't act well, and her performance was extremely bad, which made Stanievsky feel irritable and dissatisfied.

One day, rehearsals were in progress, and he suddenly ordered to stop.He said to all the staff: "This scene is the key to the whole play. If the heroine still plays so badly, the whole play will not be able to go down!"Suddenly, she raised her head and said firmly: "Rehearsal!" She swept away her previous inferiority, shyness and restraint, and this time she acted very confidently and very realistically."We've got a new performing artist," Staniewski said happily.

Why does the same person show such a huge difference before and after? This is a question worth thinking about.In fact, the answer is not difficult to come to, that is the difference between self-confidence and low self-esteem.His eldest sister has never played a leading role before, so she was full of doubts about herself at first, thinking that she could not act well.The fact is the same, even if you have no confidence in yourself, no matter how much other people have confidence in you, you will not be able to perform well.Later, maybe she didn't want to let the whole drama give up because of herself, so she quickly adjusted her mentality and acted as the protagonist, overcame her inferiority complex with self-confidence, and drove away the negative energy with positive energy, so she succeeded .

Believe in one's own ideas and judgments, and dare to challenge authority, which is a manifestation of self-confidence.It is precisely because of challenging authority that this kind of self-confidence is particularly valuable.

Seiji Ozawa is a world-renowned symphony conductor.In the final of a world outstanding conductor competition, he directed the performance according to the score given by the jury, but it didn't take long for discordant voices to appear.At first, he thought the band had made a mistake, so he stopped and played again, but it was still wrong.He thought there was something wrong with the score.At this time, authoritative figures such as the composer and the jury insisted that there was absolutely no problem with the score, and he must have made a mistake.Facing a large number of music masters and authorities, he thought twice, and finally said firmly and loudly: "No! There must be a mistake in the music score!" As soon as the words fell, the judges on the jury table immediately stood up and gave warm applause.

It turned out that this was a "trap" carefully designed by the judges to test whether the conductor could stick to his correct proposition when he found an error in the score and was "denied" by an authority.Because only those with this quality can truly be called world-class music conductors.Although the first two conductors who participated in the finals also found mistakes, they were finally eliminated because they echoed the opinions of the authorities. Among the three contestants, only Seiji Ozawa was selected because he was full of confidence and did not echo the opinions of the authorities. The laurels of this World Excellent Conductor Competition.

A philosopher once said: "From the moment a person is full of self-confidence, God is stretching out an invisible hand to help him." Is there a God in this world?Yes, God is your confidence!Once a person loses confidence in himself, even God cannot help him.

One night, on a dark and lonely road, a young man's car broke down—a tire burst.The young man got out of the car and rummaged through the toolbox but couldn't find the jack.Moreover, this road is very remote, and at night, there are almost no vehicles passing by.what to do?The young man began to regret why he didn’t check whether he had brought a jack when he went out, complained why the car broke down at this time, complained why no car passed by here, and even complained why he came to this remote road... At that time, young people were already surrounded by negative emotions.Just when he was at a loss, he found a house with a light on in the distance, so he decided to borrow a jack from that house.It stands to reason that when hope suddenly arises amidst despair, young people should run toward hope and grasp it with confidence. However, this young man is on the contrary. On the way to that house, he still has not shaken off those negative emotions. I kept thinking: "What if no one comes to open the door?" "What if he doesn't have a jack at home?" As he thought about it, the more he thought about it, the more worried he became, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.When he walked to that house and knocked on the door, when the master came out to talk to him, he said straight to the house: "Damn it, what's so rare about your jack." It was a mental patient who came and closed the door with a bang.

During this journey, the young man entered into a common thinking mode of "self-failure". After repeated denials, he actually lost confidence in borrowing the jack, thinking that he would definitely not be able to borrow it. He couldn't help but say that.

In daily life, before doing something, some people often say to themselves such things as "maybe it won't work" and "what if it doesn't work". Then things will develop in the unfavorable direction you imagined in all likelihood.

Self-confidence is an attitude towards life. When we doubt our abilities, we will be overwhelmed by inferiority complex, feel that we are not as good as others, life is bleak, and ultimately achieve nothing; and when we build self-confidence, we will become Be optimistic and open-minded, your heart will be strong, your body will be full of positive energy, and you will feel that there is nothing you can't do, and your life will become better.So we can't lose self-confidence, because self-confidence can inspire the fire of life, burn difficulties, and illuminate the future; losing self-confidence means giving up on ourselves, the hope in our hearts will be dim and empty, and it will be difficult to move forward.Shout out "I am born to be useful", motivate myself, and believe that as long as you have self-confidence, a self-improvement, and a positive heart, success will belong to you sooner or later.

Accept your imperfect self
As the saying goes: There is no pure gold in gold, and no one is perfect.In the world, no one is perfect.Some people are not beautiful, some are not tall, some are not smart, some are born with a stutter, some are born with diseases, some are jealous, some are timid Afraid of getting into trouble, some people love vanity... As long as he is a human being, he will have more or less shortcomings or defects of one kind or another.However, some of these "flaws" cannot be changed by us, and some can be changed through hard work. As long as we can correctly understand these "flaws" and truly accept them from the heart, and make use of your strengths and avoid weaknesses in your life, you will be a person full of positive energy. people.

Among the celebrities we know, there are also many "flaws", but they can always face this fact correctly, and use various methods to skillfully deal with other people's ridicule and resolve embarrassment.

When the great scientist Einstein was young, he was no smarter than other children, and even lagged behind them.He could speak at the age of 4 and read at the age of 7.The teacher's comment on him was: "Unresponsive, out of gregarious, full of unrealistic fantasies." He also had the experience of being persuaded to drop out of school.However, he relied on his self-confidence and persistence to achieve success.

Lincoln, the President of the United States, is not good-looking, with a long face, which is not good-looking.When running for president, he debated with Democrat Douglas.Douglas ridiculed him for being two-faced.To this, Lincoln replied calmly: "Now, please come and comment. If I had another face, do you think I would wear the current face?" , to save himself in a self-deprecating way.

Hua Luogeng, a famous Chinese mathematician, did not do well in school when he was a child. He only got a certificate in elementary school, and he had to pass a make-up exam in mathematics in junior high school.The classmates laughed at him and called him "trash".But the ridicule did not make Hua Luogeng give up on himself, but aroused his fighting spirit.He secretly made up his mind that he must learn mathematics well.Self-confidence gave him endless strength, coupled with his diligence, he went to success.When Zhang Haidi was five years old, she suffered from spinal hemangioma and high paraplegia, so she did not go to school, but she taught herself knowledge with tenacious perseverance. She taught herself the courses of elementary school, middle school, and university, and finally embarked on the road of literary creation.

It can be seen that imperfection is not the reason to stop us from moving forward, it is just a small hurdle on the road of life, take a big step, or make a strong leap, you can pass and move on.

In fact, behind each of our shortcomings lies an advantage, and each dark side corresponds to a gift of life: physical insufficiency can temper our steely will, timidity can save you from flying disasters, Being in the limelight is just a manifestation of overconfidence, being slovenly shows that you are free inside... Human beings are originally a unity composed of various positive and negative characteristics. Only by being ourselves can we live a complete life and have a complete life.

Only by opening our hearts and acknowledging that we have both strengths and weaknesses, a bright side and a dark side, can we calmly accept the darkness and have the light.If you feel that you are too fragile, then find the opposite of vulnerability to make yourself stronger; if you are troubled by fear, then find courage in your heart and make yourself stronger; If someone bullies you, then you find out in your heart what caused this to happen, and then overcome it and overcome it.After doing this, you will find that the so-called "disadvantages" on your body are just that the degree of expression is a bit too strong.At this time, the only thing you need to do is to express these qualities to the appropriate level at the appropriate time and in the appropriate way, not excessive.

People are not perfect, so we should not force ourselves to be a perfectionist.Because perfectionists are unhappy people.They do a lot of extra work because they believe no one else can do it as well as they do; they agonize over making decisions and relentlessly look for mistakes.Worst of all, they equate perfection with the value of being human, which means they rarely see themselves as the best people they can be, and find it hard to be confident.

Perfectionism can cause us to hesitate in making decisions and miss out on winning opportunities.Wang Yifu's journey to win the Olympic Games is far from smooth as people think.At the Seoul Olympics, due to his eagerness to win, he only finished seventh in the pistol slow-fire final.Wang Yifu later said that the failure was mainly due to too many ideas.During the game, I had already aimed, but I didn’t dare to pull the trigger. I kept trying to aim and aim more, but the result was inaccurate.

In the pursuit of excellence, we undoubtedly strive to do better.However, falling into perfectionism can erode our self-confidence and make us hold back, accept our imperfect self, release the pressure, spread the wings of confidence, fly with the wind, and you will reach the highest point in no time.

Tell yourself "I can do it"

A father took his daughter to climb a mountain.The father pointed to the towering mountain and said to his daughter, "Mountain climbing is too tiring, how about we take the cable car up?"

The little girl immediately said: "No, I want to climb up by myself, I believe I will be able to climb up!" After hard work and hard work, the father and daughter finally stood on the top of the mountain.The little girl said proudly: "I believe I can climb up, I can do it, how about it, I did it." What is self-confidence?Confidence is when you face a challenge and firmly say to yourself: "I can do it!" Stage fright is familiar to many people.You obviously memorized all the content in the textbook, but when you saw the test paper, your head suddenly buzzed, your brain went blank, and you couldn't remember anything.When the actors were rehearsing and walking the stage, they obviously performed very well, but when they stood under the spotlight and saw the dark audience below, all their courage suddenly disappeared.Stage fright makes many people regret it, but no matter how much you regret it, you can't recover from the failure.Stage fright is a lack of self-confidence.The best way to solve this problem is to always tell yourself in a firm tone:

"I can do it!" Believe that you can do it, and only then can you give full play to your strength at critical moments, and even perform supernormally and create miracles.

Du Li scored China's first gold medal at the 2004 Athens Olympics.She said that she is an emotional person. Once she falls behind, she will be more nervous, worrying whether she is much worse than others.But on the field, we didn't see her "emotional" at all. We only saw a calm girl who forced the runner-up to the Russian player who had been leading the first nine shots with the last shot.Du Li later said, that day, when I stood on the target, I felt very good, and I felt that I could definitely achieve the best results, and I felt that I could do it.

Self-confidence is a good psychological quality.In fact, many times, the biggest enemy is yourself.At any time, we cannot lose to ourselves before we lose to our opponents.No matter how difficult you encounter, you should smile and say to yourself: "I can do it." No matter how much pressure you face, you should easily cheer yourself up: "I can do it."

Everyone has ideals and pursuits, and to realize these ideals and pursuits, one must have strong self-confidence.After getting up every day, say "I can do it" loudly to yourself, and you will have a fulfilling and wonderful day.

Challenge yourself, surpass yourself

The world-renowned master of humor and satire Bernard Shaw has a famous saying: "A person with confidence can turn smallness into greatness and mediocrity into magic." This does not mean that a person can do something simply by telling himself, I have confidence out of anything great.The generation of self-confidence is a process of constantly challenging ourselves and surpassing ourselves, thus bursting out the most powerful force from the depths of our hearts.Once this powerful force is generated, people will feel fearless and invincible.

Whether it is work or competition, strength can always bring us confidence.This is the reason why we often say that "artists are bold".The strength is accumulated by oneself in the process of constantly challenging oneself and surpassing oneself.

The weakness of the yellow race's muscle structure in terms of explosive power was once a consensus. At the Athens Olympics in 2004, Liu Xiang led the way on the 110-meter hurdles runway, and he went straight to the finish line like a cheetah.He changed the prejudice of the whole world, what European and American athletes can do, through training, we will do the same!

Liu Xiang's ability to stand on the podium of the champion is the result of him constantly challenging himself and surpassing himself.Normally, Sun Haiping, Liu Xiang's coach, keeps two books in his hands. One is the real record of Liu Xiang's training results every time, and this record has been kept in Sun Haiping's hands.And the other book is specially for Liu Xiang, and it also records his training results every time, of course, the results on it must be slower than his real results.Although Sun Haiping will read the results aloud every time he trains, he will read the real "13.30 seconds" as "13.33 seconds" and "13 seconds" as "13.05 seconds". slower.

Sun Haiping said that Liu Xiang is indeed a genius, but the more he is like this, the more we must guard against his complacency.Especially in training, he must not be made to feel too good about himself. He must be made to realize that he still has room for improvement and areas for improvement.Facing the notebook he saw, Liu Xiang always thought he could do better.It was under this kind of training that Liu Xiang surpassed himself every day, improved a little every day, accumulated strength, and finally won the victory.

The story of Liu Xiang tells us that as long as we dare to challenge ourselves and constantly surpass ourselves, "higher, faster, stronger" is no longer a dream.

The Olympic champion Liu Chunhong always refreshed her best results again and again, and was recorded in the annals of sports time and time again.Someone joked: This girl has no other hobbies, she just likes to break world records, and she especially likes to break her own world records.

In fact, every time Liu Chunhong breaks a world record, it is a challenge to herself, and each challenge can accumulate a certain amount of strength for her, and extraordinary strength can bring her absolute confidence.

In this way, Liu Chunhong walked confidently on the road to breaking the world record.The accumulation of strength depends on us.We may not be as lucky as others, and we may have to put in more effort because of various objective conditions, but whether it is running, jumping, going with the water or against the wind, from the start to the end, this journey has to be completed step by step .On this road, we must give ourselves enough courage and confidence, give ourselves a new and higher starting point every day, push ourselves to make progress every day, and cultivate ourselves into a person who dares to challenge and surpass himself.Because a person who is good at challenging himself and surpassing himself must be able to gain strong self-confidence.Such people have a correct understanding of their own strengths and weaknesses, and have a correct estimate and positive affirmation of their own strengths and advantages; they believe that they have the ability to achieve the set goals, especially when the difficulty of the problem increases, they can show Recognition of their own decisions or judgments; they take the initiative to accept challenges and like to put themselves in extremely challenging environments; even in difficult situations such as obstruction and slander, they do not change their goals until they achieve the expected goals.

With strong self-confidence, we will always feel relaxed and calm no matter how difficult the difficulties we face or how strong our competitors are. Problems that could not be solved easily can be solved inadvertently, helping us to experience the taste of success.Success is the most effective way to give a person strong self-confidence, because it can make people feel the power of being respected and appreciated, and experience a sense of pride and accomplishment that they have never had before.

There is a little horse who is timid and fearful. In the animal world, there is nothing he is not afraid of, from lions and tigers to puppies and cats.As a result, it became a doormat, and anyone dared to bully it.

One day, the pony was gnawing grass alone in the wild, when suddenly a tiger pounced on it.Although the pony was trembling with fright, it instinctively kicked the huge beast with its hoof.Maybe the tiger was so hungry that it fell to the ground after being kicked down.The pony was stunned, it never thought it would end like this.

The news spread all over the animal world at once.Everyone came to the pony and looked at it with admiration: "It is a hero who can defeat the big tiger." Believing in yourself is really not easy.Since then, Xiao Ma has gained confidence in himself, no matter what he does, he is full of confidence.The role of self-confidence and success is mutual. Self-confident people are easy to succeed, and success can bring self-confidence to people. This is also the result of the interaction between energies.Therefore, train yourself to be a confident person, enjoy the joy that success brings you, and then start a new journey with the confidence that success bestows on you.

Confidence is not "yelang arrogance"

During the Han Dynasty, there was a country named Yelang.Although it is an independent country, its territory is small, its people are few, and its products are even more pitiful.But among the neighboring countries, Yelang is the largest country, so the king of Yelang, who has never left his own land, thought that the country he ruled was the largest country in the world.

One day, the king of Yelang Kingdom and his subordinates were inspecting the border. He pointed to the front and asked, "Which country is the largest here?" To cater to the king's psychology, his subordinates said, "Of course Yelang Kingdom is the largest!" Then, the king raised his head again, looked at the high mountain in front of him and asked: "Is there any mountain higher than this mountain in the world?" His subordinate replied: "There is no mountain higher than this mountain in the world. " Later, when they came to the river, the king said: "I think this is the longest river in the world." The subordinates still replied in unison: "Your Majesty is right."

From then on, the ignorant king believed even more that Yelang Kingdom was the biggest country in the world.Once, the Han Dynasty sent envoys to Yelang Kingdom, passing through Dian Kingdom, a neighboring country of Yelang Kingdom, on the way.The king of Dian asked the envoy, "Which is bigger between the Han Dynasty and my country?" The envoy was startled when he heard that.Later, when the envoy arrived in Yelang, the proud and ignorant king of Yelang asked the envoy, "Which is bigger, the Han Dynasty or my country?" because he didn't know that the country he ruled was only as big as a county in the Han Dynasty. Say what is good.

This is the origin of the idiom "Yelang is arrogant".Later, people used "Yelang arrogant" as a metaphor for pride and ignorance, superficial conceit or arrogant behavior, and "Yelang arrogant" has become synonymous with pride and ignorance.

Self-confidence is a kind of psychological quality that motivates oneself to forge ahead, an optimistic mood to meet challenges with high fighting spirit and abundant energy, and a panacea to overcome oneself, bid farewell to inferiority complex, and get rid of troubles.Confidence is not conceit, it is not unfounded self-righteousness and blind optimism, it is not self-admiration, it is not arrogant, and it is not self-satisfied.Confident people can correctly understand themselves, have a clear and rational understanding of their own strengths and weaknesses, and can maximize their strengths and avoid weaknesses, neither belittle themselves nor arrogant.Conceited people are too confident in themselves, think that they have no shortcomings or cannot see their own shortcomings, and have a kind of narcissism.This kind of person is easy to confess the past, thinks that he can accomplish anything, is self-willed, self-centered, and does not listen to any suggestions and opinions that contradict him. The result is often the same as the king of the Yelang Kingdom, making people laugh and generous.

A student who graduated from a prestigious medical university was assigned to work in a compulsory drug rehabilitation center somewhere in the southwest.Since she comes into contact with a large number of drug rehab patients every day, she is curious and naive and asks herself: "Is drug addiction really irresistible?" She doubts it.In order to personally "obtain feelings, describe them truthfully, and show them to future generations", she is waiting for the opportunity to experiment.

One day, the opportunity finally came.The husband, who is the captain of the armed police, hastily deposited 100 grams of heroin in her office, and then drove to chase the fugitive.She started her carefully planned experiment. She took a tentative sip first, and described it in her special notebook: "Extremely uncomfortable, vomiting."

The second time, she went on to note: "Beginning to feel a little more comfortable." The third time, she wrote: "Better adjusted." If she stops at this point, she is still a respected drug rehabilitation doctor.But she didn't, she wanted to use her self-confidence to conquer drugs, she wanted to write a paper that shook the world, and she used her "great" experiment to prove that she was different.

For the fourth time, she wrote again: "Completely adapt." At this time, she has identified herself as the real heroin conqueror, and she will use her own practice to tell the world that she is the only conqueror of poisonous demons.She's going to throw away drugs like a pair of broken shoes.

However, the next day, when she pounced on heroin like a hungry tiger, everything became so sad, lamentable and ridiculous.

At this moment she was afraid.She began to struggle, but her drug addiction became stronger and stronger.In desperation, her husband left her. After she sucked up all her savings, she then sold the furniture, and finally became destitute.

In exchange for drugs, she embarked on the last road, which is to sell her body.It didn't take long for her body to get worse and worse. She was skinny, her muscles were atrophied, and her hair fell out.She couldn't take it anymore, and when she was only 1 year and 7 months away from her first drug use, she cut her pulse and committed suicide.At this time, she was only in her 30s.

What a harrowing scene, where blind confidence sends an ebullient young man to hell.

It can be seen that at any time, we should carefully analyze ourselves and the current situation. We should not blindly be confident or overestimate our own level and ability, otherwise it will backfire and let negative energy ruin our future.

【Stimulate positive energy】Create a radiant you

Self-confidence is a driving force behind self-motivation.The support of this kind of motivation is very important for a person's growth and success.So, what should we do when we lack self-confidence?Here are a few ways to build self-confidence to help you create a radiant you.

——Use a magnifying glass to find your strengths and strengths.Everyone has their own strengths and strengths, find them and magnify them, be proud of your strengths and strengths, use these strengths in your life, study and work, show your good side, let When others recognize you, you will find that you are no worse than others, and your self-confidence will gradually improve.

——Choose the front seat.Many of you may have noticed that whether in classrooms or meetings, the seats in the back row are always filled first.Most people who occupy the back seat hope that they will not be "too conspicuous".And the reason they are afraid of being noticed is their lack of self-confidence.Sitting in the front can help you build confidence. If you don’t believe me, you can try it and try to sit as far forward as possible from now on.Sure, sitting in the front is more conspicuous, but everything about success is conspicuous.

- Practice looking others in the face.A person's eyes can reveal a lot about him.You don't take others seriously, which sends a message to others: I feel inferior when I'm with you, I feel inferior to you, I'm afraid of you.Avoiding other people's eyes means: I have done or thought something I don't want you to know; I am afraid that if I meet your eyes, you will see through me.This is all bad information.

When someone doesn't look you in the eye, your instincts ask yourself, "What is he hiding? What is he trying to hide? What is he afraid of? Will he be against me?"

To face up to others is to tell him: I am honest and aboveboard; what I tell you is true and I am not guilty, and you can trust me completely.You have to let your eyes work for you, which will not only increase your confidence, but also earn you trust.

——Learn to speak in public.People who are afraid to speak in meetings think: My opinion may not be valuable, if I speak out, others may think I am stupid, I'd better not say anything.Also, other people probably know more than I do, and I don't want them to know I'm so ignorant.Some people always say in their hearts: I will be next, and I want to speak.But when the person in front finished speaking, he didn't dare to stand up immediately, so he told himself "next time", and gave the opportunity to others in vain.Such people will lose self-confidence more and more.Speaking positively can boost your self-confidence and make it easier to speak next time.

Therefore, once you have an opportunity, you must seize it tightly. As long as you show confidence and dare to speak, you don't need to think about whether you speak well or not. In this way, your confidence will continue to grow again and again.Also, don't be the last to speak, be the icebreaker, be the first to break the silence, no one will think you are stupid, they will admire your courage and learn from you.

—Speak frankly about your inner feelings.To be honest is to calmly observe what is going on inside yourself, and then to say what you have observed without concealing it.If we can express in words the psychological secret that is constantly changing, without concealment, then there will be no troubles.For example, when you go to a strange place for the first time, you will inevitably feel extremely suspicious and fearful. At this time, you may wish to express this uneasy emotion clearly in words: "I am almost stunned, my heart is beating incessantly, and even Both eyes are also black, the tip of the tongue is frozen, and the throat is too thirsty to speak.” In this way, not only can the anxiety and tension in the heart be eliminated, but also the mood can be unexpectedly calmed.

— Do what you can do.Under normal circumstances, the goal set by a self-centered person must be the one that attracts everyone's attention.But because of being obsessed with that goal, I lost what I should do here and now, and finally achieved nothing.Try to write down what you can do right away, and then practice it. It doesn't have to be a great or extraordinary thing, as long as it is something within your ability.When you do well, you gain self-confidence.

- Practice speaking repeatedly.The common problem of people with low self-esteem is that their voices tremble in public, their sentences are incoherent, and their tone is not smooth.And incoherent sentences can give the impression that you are unable to express your confident self.Repeated speech practice can make you calm and comfortable when speaking in public, and your sentences will be more coherent, thereby improving your self-confidence.

--laugh happily.Most of us are aware of the power of laughter, which is a great cure for a lack of confidence.But not everyone can do it.Real laughter can not only heal your own bad emotions, but also resolve the hostility of others.Smile so much that you even show your teeth to show how honest you are.

- Practice brisk walking.American psychologists have found that people with low self-confidence often lack a sense of relaxation, so their gait is often bumpy and lacks natural rhythm.Confident people tend to walk faster and have a more natural rhythm.They are purposeful and know exactly where they are going, who they are going to meet, and what is important to them.Therefore, American psychological experts suggest that even if you don’t have important arrangements or you don’t need to be in a hurry, you can still walk briskly, because brisk walking can greatly improve your self-confidence.A 25% increase in your pace can make you feel refreshed and confident.
