| Get a Confidence Boost! |
|
| Leaders have it. So do great athletes. And probably the friends you admire the most. "It" is confidence, the ability to know and accept your strengths and limitations without depending on the opinions of those around you. Apparently our two greatest fears are not snakes or being unprepared for your period, but meeting strangers and standing up to speak in front of a group. |

Think of the confident people you know. Isn't it their confidence, as much as their ideas and ability, which reassures you they know what they're doing? When you need a dose of confidence try -
Visualizing yourself as you wish you would be. Picture yourself talking with confidence and then follow that behaviour.
Writing down everything you're anxious about beforehand... then afterward see if any of your worries came to pass. Chances are you'll see all your angst was a waste of energy.
Remember - IF YOU THINK YOU CAN, YOU CAN. IF YOU THINK YOU CAN'T, YOU CAN'T, and the all-important ten most powerful two letter words, IF IT IS TO BE, IT IS UP TO ME.
Taking a deep breath and focusing.
Avoiding caffeine, carbohydrates and sugar before your big moment.
Remembering all the great people who regained faith in themselves after being told they didn't have what it takes to succeed.
Einstein was four years old before he could speak.
Beethoven's music teacher rated him "hopeless."
Walt Disney was fired for "a lack of imagination."
