4 Tips To Boost Your Confidence for More Success

There is no time like the present to set new standards for yourself, develop a plan to achieve the goals you want to reach, and find out new things about yourself.

These might be professional goals like getting the desired promotion, getting a bonus or a raise, or being your boss.

Maybe you have personal goals like losing weight, being healthier, changing a daily habit, organizing a closet, or watching less TV.

I like to call this evolution to a more focused life a New You Revelation!

Revelations are opportunities to learn about ourselves, our behaviors, and what we want from life.

Revelations are simple OR profoundly life-changing thoughts or experiences that can cultivate and push us to a lifestyle change – if we act on them.

If you want to make some big changes in your life, start with small habits that are easier to approach and offer you the joy of seeing success more quickly.

This strategy for sustainable confidence helps build your capabilities to have the successful life you seek at home and work.

I recommend implementing practical daily changes that have a long-term impact on your self-confidence and make you feel empowered, such as setting realistic goals, maintaining positive self-talk, fueling your wellness, and pampering yourself. 

Sometimes it can feel overwhelming to take on those changes, so I am offering you 4 four basic tips to get started and boost confidence for sustainable success!

So, let’s get started!

1. Visualize Your Success – But Be Realistic NOT Pessimistic with Your Goals

Visualizing your goals is imperative to boost confidence in pursuing them.

Make an honest assessment of your life and your circumstances.

Are you setting realistic goals that you know you can achieve?

Goal setting (no matter how many times you have tried it), really works if it’s done in increments.

Make sure you can actually control and practically work on them.

Visualize your goal as an inverted pyramid, with the ultimate goal at the top.

Working backward to a starting point will help you better see what you need to do daily to achieve success.

Seek the habits you can immediately work on – habits small enough to achieve in a timely manner, but with a big long-term impact on your ultimate success.

Don’t be afraid to ask a professional for help in achieving your goals either.

They are there to guide you, and most want your success as much as you do.

Even Superman and Wonder Woman can’t save the world from multiple crises simultaneously, so they have to prioritize, right?

Prioritize your habits and start with the small ones to be most effective.

Whatever you want to work on, write those habits down.

Choose one behavior to start with and create realistic solutions to focus on for one month.

Ignore the rest of the list until you feel you have legitimately mastered your first goal, and then move on to your next one.

2. Make Sure You Use Positive Self-Talk To Boost Confidence

It’s easy to focus on all the things we are doing poorly.

But the purpose of being honest and realistic in our goals is to see what we want to change.

This is so we can live a more positive and balanced daily life.

Instead of getting hooked on all the negative things about yourself, recognize that you’re currently working on the habits you can control.

Remind yourself that this is because you want to change; this is a positive and responsible step to a more gratifying future.

Compliment yourself with being the amazing person you are.

You’re the kind that takes the bull by the horns!

Empower yourself with positive “I am” statements:

• I am a runner.
• I am a savvy business figure.
• I can achieve what I put my mind to.

Statements like these reinforce your hard work when trying to achieve your daily goals.

Put your statements on sticky notes where you will see them (or send yourself a text reminder on your phone), and repeat them verbally several times during the day to manifest your goals.

There is nothing like a good pep talk to boost confidence and show the world you can be the best!

3. Fuel Your Success by Being Healthy

The overall transformation is a long process.

That’s why you need your body to be at its healthiest while making changes so you can think, keep your hormones balanced, your immune system high, and have the energy you need to achieve.

Nutrition is key to physical and mental success.

Making minor adjustments to your nutrition can make a big impact.

Do you get a Twix bar during breaks?

Replace it with healthy snacks, such as raw nuts or a fabulous protein shake.

Thinking about grabbing a bag of chips for lunch?

Try replacing it with sweet potato fries.

Say ‘no’ to soda for your 2 PM crash; replace it with 16 oz of bottled water instead.

Making just one change in your routine will make it easier to make additional changes so that you can feel the difference in your body over time.

Soon, you’ll notice you have increased energy and love the skin you’re in.

4. Power Down to Pamper Yourself

Why is powering down your electronic time so important to the new you?

We spend so much time on our phones, iPads, tablets, or laptops that they become an extension of our bodies.

Tuning everyone else’s voice to tune in with your voice is vital for your mind/body connection and health.

Throughout the day, create 5-minute increments of “me” time to do one of the following:

• Eat a healthy snack
• Drink water to keep your immune system healthy and hydrated
• Breathe deeply and stretch to renew your energy

Besides these daily goals, create time to pamper yourself.

You are working hard to visualize your goals and continue positive self-talk about your ability to achieve them, and now you should take care of the skin you’re in to enjoy your hard work.

Instead of surfing the net on your phone or laptop as your regular “you” time routine, make it a point to visit the steam room or hot tub at your gym or spa.

Set an appointment for a massage, or take a hot bath to unwind and feel renewed at least once a month.

These four tips are key to boosting confidence and helping you become stronger.

Although you may not have the red boots, red cape, and “S” on your chest like Superman does, or the golden lasso and wristbands of Wonder Woman, you can still empower yourself to be your superhero!

Building confidence is a lifestyle.

Transform your mind, your body, your being, and your life, and you will ultimately transform yourself towards the success you desire.
