Self-confidence is extremely important in almost every aspect of our lives, yet so many people struggle to find it. Promise yourself, no matter how difficult the problem life throws at you, that you will try as hard as you can to help yourself. You acknowledge that sometimes your efforts to help yourself may not result in success, as often being properly rewarded is not in your control. Waking up in the morning, getting dressed well can make a person feel far more confident in their daily routine, and this newfound confidence radiates in any interaction. It takes time and practice, but will certainly work. A common approach to build confidence is good preparation. If you have to give a speech tomorrow, you would carefully prepare what you are going to say. You could reassure yourself, challenging your automatic negative thoughts. However, even though you have given speeches before, there are always going to be variables that you cannot eliminate or control.  The good news is that self-confidence really can be learned and built on. And, whether you’re working on your own self-confidence or building the confidence of people around you, it’s well-worth the effort!

Start with the item farthest back and work up to the present.
