Not the tips and tricks. Not a list of dos and don'ts. An experiential deduction of what to be and what not to be in the simplest of language yet so profound, it would take more than a lifetime for the application of it all. But you can do just fantastic with covering even a few.&nbsp;

Before going upon the path to attain confidence, it's essential to know why we long for it at the first place. Are the reasons materialistic? Am I trying to portray a superficial image of myself? Or am I doing this for self growth and development? It's important to evaluate our intentions and then build ourselves up for it. We need a stronger and reasonable foundation for it to lead to genuine progress.

Self Analysis And Reasoning

When our ideologies are picked up from other people, when all our information is coming from our discourses; it is difficult to have any confidence in what we believe in and what we speak. Reading helps us reevaluate our thoughts and long-formed opinions. Not only books, but reading on the web on topics of interest that matter to you, listening to podcasts that take you to the depths of introspection forming judgements based on reality. It helps you feel great confidence in who you are.

Reading and Tons Of Reading

Why would you believe in somebody who is not on a constant marathon of bettering themselves? Confidence is a natural responsiveness to progress in day-to-day life. It is best to look into habits or skills you want to inculcate within yourself. It is of significance that these habits agree with your authenticity and something that is dear to you. Set simple milestones for yourself and remind yourself everyday the contribution they make to your life.

Forming Healthy Habits

Being confident in somebody is to respect the firmness of their mind. We admire strength and accountability in others, so is the case with ourselves. Keeping your word with yourself and with others helps us respect who we are resulting into booming self confidence. Having a set of principles that you adhere to and implicate in all aspects of your life liberates your mind from the burden of confusion and ignorance of the self.

Respecting Your Word 

It all comes down to this. It's effortless to be elegant in situations that work in accordance with your needs. But to radiate elegance in tiresome times not only is a sign of confidence but also of exuberance and profoundness of your life. When you face displeasing situations in your daily life, ask yourself if it serves your meaning in life. Eventually, its your sense of life that makes you be a human of confidence.Live beautifully and you would feel beautiful.
