How to Boost Your Self-Confidence and Self-Esteem

Step1

You can boost your self-confidence by becoming a positive thinker. Think positive thoughts and turn any negative thoughts into positive ones. Change the "self-talk" that we all have. Change your inner recording. When you wake up in the morning, think of all of the positive things that are going to happen that day.

Step2

Boost your self-esteem by working on changing any negative behavior. If you're a procrastinator, stop procrastinating. For more on procrastinating, please click on my article on this page. If you tend to doubt yourself and your abilities, get out and physically do something. If feel that you're lacking self-confidence because you need to lose weight, get out and start walking. As a wise friend once told me, "move a muscle, change a thought".

Step3

Set realistic goals for yourself. If you need to, break these goals down into smaller chunks so that they will be easier to manage. Accomplish those goals! This will help boost your self-confidence more than you can imagine. Know that you have what it takes!

Step4

Put positive messages all around your house and your office at work. If you're a student, put them in your dorm. These messages should say things like, "Believe in Yourself", "I am Special", and "I am Loved".
