25 Ways To Have More Confidence

What are some ways to have more confidence? Confidence feels like an iffy thing. Some days you may feel better than others. And on the good days, you may even wonder if you struggle with confidence at all.

But then things pile onto your plate, life becomes stressful and it doesn't take long before you start to wonder if you're good enough.

Are you capable enough to get through this?

And the unfortunate thing is when we experience trying times it can damage our confidence levels. The longer you stay in difficult moments, the harder it becomes to feel good about anything.

But the thing with confidence and self-esteem is it requires a conscious effort on your part to build it.

Just like a muscle in your body, having confidence takes a little work and some time to establish. And once you do feel confident enough, you also have to maintain it so when bad things happen you don't feel the rug pulling out from under you.

That's why it feels iffy. When we reach a point of feeling good enough we still have to put the work in to take care of ourselves and work on confidence. It's not something you just let go of once you feel good enough.

Because eventually, your confidence will wane again. And this is good for you to just be aware of. If you thought that some people are just born with confidence, that's not the case. Some people are raised to believe in themselves and not question things.

But others grow up always feeling unsure if anything they're doing is right. It depends on your specific situation and what you're surrounded by in your life.

If you have a lot of negativity and toxic people in your life, your confidence and self-worth will crumble over time.

On the other hand, if you have a supportive group of people in your life who encourage you and are there for you when times get tough, your confidence will grow.
