The Confidence Factor: How To Gain Confidence And Become Comfortable In Your Own Skin

Have you ever really given yourself the time of day? I mean really listen to what your mind and soul is telling you. Most people don't view the person inside of them as a friend or their most precious companion, they see it as a horse who is too stubborn to drink from the stream. Once you start seeing yourself as your own best friend, your lifelong partner and begin to develop a relationship with yourself, THAT is when you start to love the little things about yourself and that is what confidence is: loving every little detail about yourself.
You are one of a kind, there is nobody else like you -- The first and last of your kind. Developing a relationship with yourself by defining what values you hold most dear, your favourite hobbies, favourite music, your most outlandish dreams and fears! Can you build a strong friendship with somebody without getting to know them and expect that to be a strong relationship? Absolutely not. You are not the exception. Get to know yourself! Spend time alone, doing things that make you happy because it feeds your soul. Stop trying to change yourself to please other people, its okay to be selfish during this time in order to better yourself. How can you expect to make others happy if you can't make yourself happy? Realize that every single human being that was, is or will ever be has a unique talent and purpose because we are all different and uniquely made. All you have to do is take some time to find out who you really are (I'll include a list of things that you can do that will help with this), who you were made to be and build on that every single day from when you wake up until you lay your head to rest at night.
The reason why you aren't confident is because you don't really know yourself! The more you get to know yourself, the more you realize how amazing and wonderfully made you really are. That is where true, unwavering confidence comes from: knowing yourself and loving the person you are. I guarantee you that the two go hand in hand, its automatic; as you get to know yourself you begin to love yourself. There are too many external factors that jump into peoples minds when they worry about their confidence. From dress style, hair do's, cologne, the way you speak, the way you act even to the way you move. While working on these external factors is a start, they are not the underlying cause of your timidity. You can be the most stylish, suave person in the world but when it comes time to build a connection with people; its game over.
Here are 5 things that you can do to begin your journey to great confidence:

• Meditate - Start each day by spending a mere 10 minutes meditating. There are many sites giving you good methods on how to meditate. The benefits are numerous, but importantly it has been shown to increase relaxation and decrease stress levels.
• Write down your values - Spend time writing down the values that you believe are important. Learn them, study them and live your life according to them. You'll find that you will feel more 'centred' when going about your day and interactions.
• Know your strengths and weaknesses - Acknowledge your shortcomings, because once you know them you can begin to play to your strengths.
• Spend time alone - This is not the time to sit on your backside browsing mindlessly on the internet. Consciously make decisions to read books to expand your mind, spend time defining your interests and hobbies then make a decision to put more time into things you love to do. After you let the things you love blossom in your mind by spending more time with them, you get to know yourself better and in turn raises your core confidence
• Keep moving - There will be days that your anxiety seems to creep up on you. There are two great ways to beat this: begin to think positively about whatever situation you are in and about the day ahead. Its is important to be completely optimistic. The second way is to keep yourself busy: go for a run, read a book, watch something informative or interesting on the internet or TV(as long as it adds to your knowledge base). Take responsibility by allowing positive thoughts to flood your mind instead of negative ones.

This article means absolutely nothing if you just read it and only 'kind of' want to change yourself for the better. You must absolutely want to change and believe deeply that you do, indeed, have more to offer and can amount to more than you already have.
