Quotes on Confidence

Self confidence is when a person:
- trusts their own abilities and judgement
- has a sense of control over their lives
- believes they can achieve their goals
- loves themselves and knows they are lovable.

People who lack self confidence:
- tend to look to others for approval
- don't believe they can succeed at their dreams
- don't believe they deserve good things.

Some ways to improve your self confidence:
-emphasize your strengths, give yourself pats on the back and credit for your accomplishments
- take risks, start out with small ones. each time you risk and succeed, it builds your confidence
- use self-talk and positive self re-inforcement (including healing art). By talking to yourself in positive ways and surrounding yourself with self-praise and encouragement, you help retrain your brain into a new way of looking at yourself. The more negative messages you recieved as a child, the more brain-retraining you will need to do.
