The first things that can set you up on the road to having more confidence is to stop comparing yourself to some kind of standard that you may have in your own mind. When we had a feeling that we are not good enough and have to live up to an expectation set by someone else, it is going to be very hard to develop any self confidence in life. It is about time to give yourself a break and be yourself. When you do that, you'll naturally exude more confidence.
When a person has problems with their own confidence levels they are often overly concerned about what other people think about them and they can walk around on egg shells in a social environment trying to please everyone. If this somehow sounds familiar then you will need to address this type of social anxiety if you want to improve your confidence levels.
The point here is that no one is interested in you. Sorry to disappoint you, but humans are often selfish in general. Many of those people whom you think are thinking about you are actually busy thinking about themselves. They are personally too preoccupied with the very same thought as you, 'what are other people thinking about me?'
The deepest most profound ways to develop inner self confidence is to really get in touch with your life purpose. This is going to bring you closer to your own personal strengths and self worth and it will fill you up with a strong sense of purpose and inner strength in life.
Ask yourself this question, 'what will you do if time and money was not an obstacle for you in life?'. This question will give you a clue as to what your natural purpose is in life.
When you really get started to get in touch with your life purpose and start living it you will naturally be filled with more self esteem and start to feel more confident.
The single most powerful method to build self confidence in life is by simply taking action and gaining experience. This is because one of the biggest causes of failure and lack of self esteem and self confidence is procrastination.
The ancient key to success and a greater sense of self belief and self confidence is to make sure that you take action and not wait until you feel 100% safe and ready. This type of combat behavior will lead to more results in your life and a greater sense of accomplishment which will ultimately lead to a feeling of greater confidence inside you.
