Practical Ways To Build Confidence
We all want to be confident in ourselves, to show up to places self-assured and with our heads held high. Healthy confidence, not pride, is essential for navigating life successfully. Today, I’m sharing Three Practical Ways To Build Confidence.
Know That You Were Created On Purpose
Knowing that God, who created the whole world and universe, also intricately designed you in your mother’s womb should give you confidence. Understanding that he meticulously created your body, personality, characteristics, DNA, and tone of voice should make you feel seen and known.
When you lack confidence, open your Bible and read what God says about you, reminding yourself that you’re wonderfully made and loved by God.
“For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.” Psalm 139:13-14
Keep Promises To Yourself
Keeping promises to yourself builds confidence because you learn to trust yourself. If you set a goal and quit on it, or make a promise to yourself that you will break, you take a hit to your confidence on a subconscious level. When you set goals, create a plan of action to help you stay on track. Start keeping promises to yourself the same way you keep them to people you love. This builds confidence.
“All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one." Matthew 5:37
Challenge Yourself and Try New Things
Challenging yourself to try new things and step out of your comfort zone is another great way to build confidence. I started challenging myself to do things I’ve always wanted to do but was afraid to do. Once I do it, I feel more confident doing things outside my normal activities. Doing this makes me want to have more experiences to help me build confidence.
I hope you found this helpful. Let me know what you do to build confidence.
