How to Build Self Confidence

Send us a text Self-confidence is something we"re born with but gradually lose as we compare ourselves to others and face external challenges like bullying or feeling different due to our backgrounds. Building confidence requires surrounding ourselves with supportive people while distancing from "frenemies" who undermine our self-esteem through subtle criticisms. • Create a supportive network of people who lift you up, regardless of their age or background • Practice positive affirmations and mindfulness to counter negative self-talk • Set small, achievable challenges that gradually build confidence through consistent action • Use body language "hacks" like power poses to boost confidence in challenging moments • Volunteer to help others as a powerful way to increase self-worth through service • Recognize your transferable skills, especially when returning after career gaps • Practice gratitude for existing abilities rather than focusing only on perceived weaknesses • Open new "doors" by trying new things instead of limiting yourself with self-doubt • Remember that confident energy spreads, positively affecting relationships and inspiring others We"re therapists here to help you build your confidence!
