How to Be Confident

Look the part. Or, as the saying goes, "fake it 'til you make it." If you know that you look like a confident, capable person, eventually you'll start to feel it, too. You should dress how you feel best -- not what you think confident is. Try these tricks: Devote a little time each day to personal hygiene and making sure you're presenting yourself well. Shower daily, brush and floss your teeth, and groom your skin and hair.Dress for confidence. You don't have to buy a whole new wardrobe to feel better in your clothes. As long as you're clean, comfortable, and feel good, you're set up for confidence. After all, you wouldn't wear a three-piece suit on a pizza delivery. If you think you look good, odds are you probably do. Be careful that you don't overdo it (e.g. putting on tons of make up or wearing too revealing clothes). Dressing appropriately for situations gives you one less thing to worry about.

For me I will recognize my talents and good qualities and write them down.
Remember that everyone struggles with confidence.
When talking with each other I will have an eyes contact.
By making eye contact, it will improve the quality of my interactions
in addition to appearing more confident.

I think perfect your posture is important. How you carry yourself communicates a lot to other people, so make sure you're telling them that you're confident and in-charge. Keep your shoulders back, your spine straight, and your chin high. Walk with purpose instead of dragging your feet, and sit up straight. When you look like a confident person on the outside, you'll be approached as one by the world around you.

Confident people are attractive without saying a word. It doesn’t matter who they are. Their age, nationality, sex, race or profession is a complete non-issue because their confidence makes you look past all this. I know this sounds obvious, but are you REALLY paying attention to yourself? Start to become self-aware, listen to your voice, watch your posture, see how you show up in every sense of the word. That’s the first step. Your voice is a powerful instrument if you know how to use it. Is your voice getting caught in your throat or your lungs? Inhale softly before you speak. And speak from your power. Because you will drive yourself mad if you don’t. And you don’t have accurate and conclusive information about the person you are comparing yourself to, anyway, so you are comparing yourself to a phantom. Yes! To Love Thyself is the greatest act of confidence. Be honest: Do you love yourself just the way you are? Love yourself right now without a single ounce of change. Focus on things you should be able to say about yourself. And yet you may change, my dear, you may improve and grow and all that, but start loving yourself now.

Use visualization and deep breathing. This is more of an in-the-moment tip. When you're gearing up to talk to that cute boy or to give that speech, that's when you'll need to use these little tricks.
Visualize yourself doing awesome and it all going swimmingly. When you expect success, you might just get it. But when you expect to fail, you will.
Take a deep breath. When we breathe too quickly, our heart rates go up and our brains start thinking "fight or flight." You're just making yourself more nervous. Since you won't be attacking any wooly mammoths anytime soon, there's really no use for that.
