Self confidence is the confidence and belief one has in their own abilities and capabilities
. One has to remember that when you begin to question anything too often, you eventually begin to doubt it. If you have a low opinion of yourself and your capabilities, you can easily change it. Remember an opinion is what we may relatively feel certain about. However that emotional certainty and intensity is only temporary as it can be easily altered.
Lack of self confidence can be a result of low self esteem, self doubt or unrealistic expectations of yourself and not being able to accomplish them within the time period you have set for yourself. Lack of self confidence can be a problem. You cannot make others believe in you, if you do not believe in your own abilities.
Moreover you are limiting your own growth and success, since your thoughts and words have the power to shape and change your own destiny. People with low self confidence often find it difficult to meet new challenges. They have a pessimistic approach towards situations and thereby limit their own growth and success.
Some of the things one can do to gain self confidence are to firstly challenge your own negative thoughts. Remember things do not change, we change. Start of by changing the way you feel about things. Inculcate a positive attitude and thought process. Additionally break free from the patterns that limit how you feel and act, and do not indulge in self pity and feelings of worthlessness.
If you feel sad or angry about a situation, do not dwell in those feelings for long. Why let the negative experience continue to trouble you. Instead look at the situation as a learning experience. Also plan out your work and work out your plan. Remember actions bring results. Plan out your work and be prepared to face all the challenges and possible outcome with a positive attitude.
