So you are in search of ways to improve your self-confidence? Well, you are in luck. Building self-confidence is not an easy task. There are so many days we wake up and are unhappy with ourselves. We can't allow these struggles to ruin our ability to succeed with confidence. We are ultimately in control of how we feel.

There are so many different methods that may help when achieving a higher level of confidence! Here are 5 of them:

1. See good in yourself.

Self-awareness is key to your success! That’s right, stare into that mirror long and hard. Do you see yourself? Do you love what you see? You cannot improve your self-confidence if you do not love what you see in that mirror. We are not necessarily just talking about your image. We are talking about you as a whole! How can one obtain the highest level of confidence if there are things you would like to improve about yourself? Remain grounded and humble. Set a goal. Now go get it.

2. Free yourself.

Do you feel trapped in your own head? Do you feel like you are not being your true self? Coming to terms with what may be causing these feelings is the first step. Maybe there are things you have kept in the depths of you. It is time to come to terms with your past and what you want for your future! It is time to progress. Allow your mind to grow, wander and elude these negative feelings.

3. Be yourself.

Who are you? Every time I ask someone this question I receive evasive responses. Admit that you don’t actually know who you are and go find out! How can you ever expect to obtain happiness with yourself if you don’t even know who you are? Stop being afraid of what the world around you thinks! Play in the rain, roll on the ground with your dog and belt your favorite songs at red lights. If you don’t know who you are, you can’t be yourself. Stop holding yourself back. Be weird! Be authentic! Be YOU!

4. Love yourself.

Once one is able to obtain self-worth, loving yourself comes quite easily. However, you must take a moment and improve yourself. Nothing comes easily in life. Confidence is no different. In order to improve your confidence you must be able to make changes within yourself. You must be able to change your attitude toward yourself.

Instead of saying 5 negative things about yourself in a day start by saying 4 negative and 1 positive. Work for it. Fall madly in love with yourself, because you are going to spend the rest of your life with no one else but YOU.

5. Believe in Yourself

Do you believe in yourself? Do you truly believe in everything that you do? No matter what you decide to become in this life you must be able to believe in yourself more than anyone else. If you choose to be a garbage man, be the best garbage man there is. It does not matter where you are going. It does not matter what life will bring you. If you don’t believe in yourself or what you bring to the table no one will! Promote yourself. Promote who you are. Take a risk and invest in yourself. Watch yourself grow exponentially just from taking care of yourself. Believe in yourself and everyone around you. You can do it. I believe in you.

There you have it ! That was 5 ways you may be able to obtain a high level of confidence! Be less harsh on yourself! All though some days maybe harder than others, DO NOT GIVE UP! You are worth it. I promise.
