How to gain confidence

Have you ever noticed someone walk into a room or restaraunt and literally feel the confidence they exude? They walk with their head up, good posture and make eye contact with people they interact with. It is not about being the most-attractive, thin or rich person. Confidence comes from our perception of ourselves and what we have to offer others.

Here are some steps to gain more confidence in yourself:

• Positive self-talk.
• Keep a mental or written list of positive things in your life.
• Remove yourself from abusive people
• Never allow another person's negative comment or rejection to bring you down.
• Take care of your hair and body.
• Wear clothes that enhance your physique.
• Keep your word.
• Give everything you do 100%.
• Try to limit the words hate, never and always.
• Don't be defensive.
• Make your actions speak louder than words and watch what happens.
• Give yourself a break, we tend to be harder on ourselves than anyone else.
• Remember life will always have ups and downs, but how we handle them separates the victors from the victims.
