Confidence: Do You Have It?

Posted on August 9, 2013September 20, 2014 by Diana Brandmeyer

a2z: Confidence

 10 Ways to Build Your Confidence

1. Spend time with God: “The Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being snared.” Proverbs 3:26

2. Work out doing something you know you can be successful at: walk, bike or toss a ball to the dog

3. Try something new–think like a cat, they tend to jump at new opportunities and feel they’ve done the right thing.

4. Mentor someone who wants to do what you do–you’re a mom? Great there are lots of new moms you can help, find one at your church.

5. List your strengths–Yes you do have them. Think small to big: I make my bed everyday to I can fly a plane.

6. Set small achievable goals

7. Volunteer

8. Practice the skill that makes your confidence quiver–you don’t have to do this in front of people! Use your  video on your phone.

9. Correct each negative ‘brain talk’ with two positives about yourself. Click to tweet.

10. If you can’t get out of the low confidence mode don’t fear seeking help from a professional

And my favorite: find that inner two-year old

      I had to chuckle at your lack of confidence that the comment didn’t post. 🙂
      I’m so glad these were helpful to you. I’ve been re-reading them too.
      Blessings,

      Patty, I’ll admit to watching it several times too. I just want to have a fraction of her confidence. 🙂

      Hi Susan,
      We probably need to do more than two positives but that seems overwhelming.
      Blessings,

    Thanks for the reminders on how to shore up my confidence. It’s been a hard summer for me in that way and I need to get my focus off myself. 🙂

    Taking that first leap of faith is the toughest part, but once you’re out there and see that you can do it it’s such an amazing feeling!
