Here are some things I can think of. I hope they help.
1. List all your talents and good traits and read them over every day. Make them a part of you. This way, when someone attempts to knock you down, you have those things in the back of your mind and you can fall back on them.
2. Body language is really important. By appearing confident, youll eventually feel confident. Hold your head high, keep your back straight, and smile at someone when you make eye contact. Its also really important not to shy away from eye contact.
3. Know that youre entitled to your own opinions and that they do count. If someone disagrees with you, it doesn’t mean youre wrong!
4. Take risks. Be open to new situations even if they scare you so at least you know that you tried.
5. Set small goals and achieve them! It could be something that you need to change about yourself or something that youve been pushing off for a while. Make sure theyre doable. Youll feel so good about yourself when you accomplish that which you set out to do.
6. Exercise!! Thats my baby so yeh, im a really big advocate for that! Seriously, itll only do you good!
7. When someone gives you a compliment, smile and say thank you. Accept it. Dont shrug it off by denying that youre worthy of praise.
Keep me posted please…
