Improve Your Self Confidence
By Ingela Berger
Knowing yourself is the foundation of self-esteem, self confidence and
personal development. Man has been seeking himself since the days of the
Oracle of Delphi. "Know yourself" said the Oracle, but she spoke in riddles
and the men who had come a long way to get a simple answer from her wise
lips went away even more confused.
Yes, it isn't easy to really understand a human being. And, to understand
others, we need first of all to understand ourselves and to gain self-esteem
and confidence.
How can we do this? There are ways to work on this and we can do it in
the comfort of our home if we don't want to attend evening courses in self
confidence and self-esteem and meet others in similar situations.
Some tips:
* Write down your positive achievements, all that you can remember;
educations, jobs, loves and relationships (even if they ended, you still
achieved them), friendships, children, driving licence... Look at what you
already have and realize you have done rather well.
* Write down good things that others have said about you. Read through
old documents from former employers or teachers that state all your strong
sides. Maybe you forgot you had them?
* Make plans. Ask yourself what can be done. What can you change to make
things better? Write down precise goals and write a step-by-step plan on how
you intend to achieve your goals.
*Decision. Make a decision that tomorrow you will start dealing with the
first step of your plan.
When you read what you have written you will realize that you have grown
and developed over the years. That also means that you can grow and develop
further.
