Let’s
Get Confident!
Confidence
is as much about your perception of yourself, as it is about the things
you do. Many people build
confidence through their actions. For
example, becoming good at sports, school or your job, will build your
confidence.
When
it comes down to self-perception, a lot of people have thoughts that
interfere with feelings of self-confidence.
Those undermining thoughts such as the following will create
negative feelings: Do I look all right?
Am I doing the right thing?
Should I have done it this way?
Have I made the right decision?
The
feelings that get triggered often produce stress and anxiety.
To
change this so that you gain self-confidence, every time you notice
those thoughts, ask yourself a few questions: Whose voice is that?
Is it the voice of Mum? Dad?
A Teacher? Your own?
No matter whose it is, tell that voice to be silent because
you’re in charge of yourself now, and there are now better ways for
you to do things. If the
voice isn’t silent, imagine it is in Mickey Mouse’s voice and coming
from your big toe! That
should be enough to make you laugh and laughter will relax you so that
you feel more confident! If
those thoughts don’t go away now, then kick Mickey Mouse and his voice
from here to the moon and feel great that you’ve taken a stand for
yourself.
Act
Confidently
Another
way to build confidence is to dress and act the part. That way, the acting becomes easier and one day soon,
you’ll find that you’re not acting any more and confidence comes
easily!

Tips to
Less Stress
1. Drink 1 - 2 litres of
water daily.
2. Only 1 cup of coffee, tea or soft drink daily.
3. Have at least 2-3 alcohol free days per week.
4. Eat your vegies!
Eat your fruit!
5. Walk every day for at least 15 minutes.
6. Laugh often.
Collect jokes and share them.
7. When you get upset, ask
yourself “will I remember this in 5 years time?”
If the answer is “No” then decide it’s not worth getting
upset over, learn from it, and let it go.
