Confidence

Three Things Confident People Don't Do

by James Bauer

1. Confident people don't play the comparison game.

There will always be someone better looking, richer, smarter, funnier, or whatever. Confident people don't compare themselves to other people as much as insecure people do.

We can get confident in our own skin by accepting who we are and appreciating ourselves as a one-of-a-kind creation;)

2. Confident people don't pay much attention to things they can't control. Letting go of things we have no control over can give an immediate sense of relief.

Confident people focus on the things they can actually influence. This results in a feeling of control. And a sense of control makes us feel more confident.

3. Confident people don't hide out in their comfort zone.

We can practice leaving our comfort zone for short periods of time. We can try new things. We can stretch ourselves. We can travel somewhere we don't know the language and when we return home everything will seem easy ;)

Stretching ourselves in different ways on a recurring basis should enhance our feeling of security because temporarily feeling out of our element should gradually expand the range of situations where we feel confident and in control.

Sounds like smart advice;)
