Tips To Gain Confidence

By Mario Beckar

Have you always felt inadequate to cope up with other people because of your shyness? Have your shyness made you insecure? Do you fear that your every move is judged by others? Forget your worries. Here are some guidelines that will help you to overcome your shyness and gain confidence to face the world and achieve all you dreams. Though it takes time and effort to overcome your shyness, the end result will be well worth your every effort of practice and patience.

1. The first step is to stand in front of your mirror every morning and repeat "I feel terrific" to yourself. You will be amazed at the results when you repeat this energetically several times, until it becomes ingrained in your mind.

2. Take time to feel good. Make some effort to feel good about yourself. Taking time to dress up and looking your best will give you incredible confidence in yourself and others will want to get to know you better.

3. Don't hesitate to take risk. Start slow by taking smaller risks and tackling your lesser fears. Nothing will give you more confidence than the knowledge that you can face and overcome risks. Each risk you triumph will boost your self confidence and will help you to grow more secure.

4. Be open about your shyness. When you are not open about your shyness it will be misinterpreted by others and you will be left out in group conversation. But once others realize that you are naturally shy they are more likely to take steps to include you in their conversations. Almost everyone finds it difficult to participate and be included in a large crowd. It is always to your advantage to be forthcoming about your shyness. You will definitely be accepted and included by people who respect honesty and they are the ones that matter.

5. Get ready to face rejection. It is a fact that everyone will face rejection at some point of their life and this holds good for you too. Everyone has different likes and dislikes just like you. You may be attracted to certain kinds of personalities and not like certain others. The same holds good for others too and when someone rejects you, never take it personally. You may not be the type of person that they like. It is important to realize that the problem is with their likes and dislikes and not because of who and what you are. You should also understand that you have an equal right to reject anyone you do not like just like they have a right to reject you depending on their likes and dislikes.
