Act Confident – Fake it till you make it

We are not all born with the looks of an adonis, the brains of Einstein and the appendage of Ron Jeremy. But enough about me.

If you find yourself struggling with confidence, what can you do?

Act confident. Pretend to be a confident person. Fake it till you make it. We are all products of learned behaviour. Routines take around 21 days to become ingrained within us. So what you need to do is lie to yourself for a month. Here’s the steps how.

  1. Make Eye Contact.
  2. Practice power poses (hands on hips like superman, chest out, look up to the sky).
  3. Remember positive events.
  4. Dress properly. No more ill fitting clothes.
  5. Speak clearly and slowly.
  6. Repeat mantras such as “I am confident”, ” I can succeed”, “I am strong”. It sounds silly but will help reinforce your new found personality.
  7. Keep your hands still and be aware of your body language.

Keep doing these tips and you will become a more positive, confident person. After all, if you don’t believe in yourself, how do you expect others to?
