Learn To Become More Confident With These 7 Simple Tips

If your self confidence level could be laid out in full on your little fingernail, check out these 7 easy self confidence tips:

1. Take a brisk walk

Confidence and speed often go hand in hand, so the logic on this is that you'll feel more important as you dash around. Your faster walking will also increase your overall energy levels as you won't be giving yourself the chance to just stroll along.

2. Don't slouch

Yup. This sounds like a quote from an office poster. But check it for yourself now. Give yourself permission to slouch - Do your feelings get lower in an instant? Now staighten your spine and tilt your head slightly upwards. Oh, and smile. Notice the difference?

3. Dress yourself smarter

Sure, the "dress to impress" slogan sounds like a cliche. But if you look a million dollars your confidence levels will rise as well.

4. Be grateful

You don't have to say a prayer of thanks, unless that fits your religious beliefs. Just be grateful for everything good that comes your way. Anything from the fresh air you breathe to the friends around you, being free from disease or anything else that you can be grateful for in your life. Acknowledge your gratitude either out loud or in your head.

5. Give compliments to people

Even though this isn't the main idea, you'll probably get complimented back. But whether or not this happens, you'll watch the negative energy around you melt away and some of the increased happiness will bounce back in your direction.

6. Sit at the front

If you always sit at the back, even when there are empty rows in front of you then you're telling your subconscious that you want to fade into the background. Sit right up there in the front row. Dare yourself to be asked a question and have the confidence to answer it!

7. Don't lurk in conversations - add to them

If you're always the quiet one at the back in any conversation, join in and speak occasionally. Most people will be happy for you to join in the conversation (or at least won't interrupt you too often) and you'll find yourself getting more confident.
