Simple Way To Be Confident

A simple way to be confident is by making lifestyle changes.  I made the Permanent Confidence Balance Model as a guide that shows how I balance my life.  This balance model works for me.  The more this model is balanced the more stabilized my self-confidence will be.  This model provides a lot of benefits other than self-confidence such as positive feelings, happiness, peace of mind, gratitude, success, energy, strength, health and so much more!

The model is made up of 7 topics and 10 sub-topics.  The main topics are: quick fix, health, ego control, personality, knowledge, goal setting and positive relationships.  All of the main topics are intertwined in many ways.  For example knowledge and health, gaining more knowledge about health to become healthy.  Keeping in mind that all areas are intertwined, if I were to pick one of these categories to focus on specifically for self-confidence I would pick personality.

Personality branches off into: strength/weakness discovery, hobbies/interests, attitude towards people and attitude towards life.  I want to share with you the secret to achieve self-confidence.  Confidence is as easy as being what you want to become.  There is really nothing more genuine then confidence.  Your actions are either confident or uncertain.  Confidence shines while uncertainty is dull.  The secret to being self-confident is pretending to be confident.  If you lack self-confidence and walk with your head down there is nothing fake about walking with your head up.  This theory is just like the expression “dress the part”.  Be what you want to become.  Use the body language that a confident person would use and mentally you will become more and more confident. 

Hint: study body language of confident people.  Find some confident people and observe them.  Basic examples: a firm handshake shows that you are confident appose to a weak soft handshake.  Also eye contact shows confidence.    

This theory of being what you want to become is a simple way to be confident and can work in other areas of your life.  For example if you want to be physically fit, find out what it is that fit people do and then do it!  At the same time I do not recommend copying every move of the people you look up too.  I recommend seeking what it is that works for the type of person you want to become and finding what works best for you.  When studying these people try to spot trends within these types of people.  I am not telling you to change who you are, I am recommending a certain lifestyle and changing your traits that are not working for you, in order to be your true confident and happy self.  This is how I developed into the person I am.  I always encourage people to be genuine and to believe in themselves.
