Simple Techniques to have Confidence

Confidence makes you more productive.  Kobe Bryant, an NBA superstar, trusts himself so much that made him a great basketball player.  He doesn't even trust his team mates and this is one of his bad side, but the idea of having such great confidence can make you the best person you can be.  But, sometimes it is just so difficult to have confidence.  When fear is turned on instead of confidence, it is impossible to have a a good performance and worse, failure can happen anytime.  I'll be direct to the point in telling you the key to confidence.

1.  Mind Setting - The first thing you need to do is have a positive mind.  Think you can do it.  You can FLY. Yes, you can.  Don't turn your negative thoughts on again.  You just have to believe that everything is achievable.

2.  Know your goal - If you are to give an informational oral report, focus on what your task is.  Your goal is to give them facts and information.  You don't have to be afraid of failing.  Focus on your goal not on the people who are going to criticize you.  Come on, we can't please everyone.  Don't have a goal of pleasing everyone because you will really be nervous.  Just stand there and feed them with facts because that's your goal.  That's it!







3.  Practice - We all have our own weaknesses.  But we have the capability to learn new things, don't we?  That's why you should practice.  I'll be consistent with my example-Public Speaking.  If you lack spontaneity in speaking, you should research and focus on improving that weakness.  You just have to want to improve.  Practice speaking in front of your family or friends you trust.  Beg them to give you honest comments and don't start your emotional drama if you were criticized.  Instead, go back to your laboratory and improve your formulas.









4.  Accept that everyone fail - Michael Jordan said: "I failed over and over in my life.  That's why I succeeded."  No matter how good you are in walking, you still fall.  If you're speaking in front of people and you commit a mistake, don't lose all your confidence.  It is totally fine.  You can correct it or you can go on with your speech, depending on the situation.  Be thankful because you learned though experience.






5.  Have an inspiration -  Watch a person who is good at the field you are to do and study how he does it.  By learning some tricks on how to be successful at doing something, you can be confident because at the back of your head you now have a plan.  You're now going to stand there, not for experiments, but for execution of the things you discover.






Stop shaking in fear.  Confidence will remove cobwebs in your life.
