Prepare a piece of colored paper and write the theme on it: grow up with confidence. Draw a little girl holding her head high and smiling in the lower right corner, draw a bubble box in the upper left corner of the little girl, and write the contents in the bubble box.

How to increase self-confidence:

1. Eliminate fear

It's normal to ask others for help and support in difficult times. From the perspective of biology and sociology, people are the most social attributes. Happiness is closely related to our connection with others. But here's the thing: there is a big difference between seeking sympathy and support occasionally and seeking comfort for a long time.

When you get into the habit of constantly letting others comfort you and make you feel better, you are telling your brain that you can't handle bad things. In a sense, you need to get emotional value from others.

Although this may bring short-term relief, in the long run, it will definitely kill your confidence, because you are telling your brain that you are incapable of solving things. It is not difficult to see that this will lead to self-confidence problems.

Express confidence

Many people find it hard to believe in themselves, because they are not confident, dare not express themselves directly, and dare not express themselves in a direct and true way.

For example, at a work meeting, you have a good idea, but you won't take the initiative to share it because you are worried that others will think it is a stupid idea. You want to revitalize your married life, but you never seem to ask for anything from your partner because you don't want to make your spouse feel bad.

3. Keep a diary of self-gratitude.

Pay attention to those who find it hard to believe in themselves: they are not good at appreciating themselves either. It seems that life is a long list of questions. Once they have solved one problem, they will immediately start to solve the next one.

If you never take the time to slow down and reflect on your victory and success, how can you expect to build self-confidence and trust yourself more? If this sounds like talking about yourself, here's a suggestion: keep a self-gratitude diary.

You may have heard of gratitude diary before: many studies show that it is a powerful healthy practice to spend a little time expressing gratitude for the good things in life every day. Although it is wonderful to express your gratitude to others, there is no reason for you to refuse to do the same for yourself. This is especially useful if it is difficult for you to admit and appreciate yourself.
