One of the things that I think helps an individual to maintain their confidence or to make their confidence grow is to take pride in the little achievements that they make. Being a stay-at-home mother I don't have a ton of achievements in my life, but when I am able to accomplish something I take a lot of pride in it and it helps me to keep the confidence that I once had. Another thing that I find helps a person to stay confident is to keep track of your accomplishments.

me too i lack confidence in many ways .. but i realised i have the powerto overcome that too , normally for me, i will have those 'low confidence' times, which puts me in depression mood ... i learned what cheers me .. you see i love cooking, so i will start dreaming or imagining what dishes to cook .. then i will get those, go home and start the project of making a wonderful meal , believe me the product cheers my mood and as i sacour the dishes ... all my confidence seem to return find something you are good at and do it. as it will build your confident

Hi there, I have been in situation where I wanted to hide myself from everyone.. close up myself and separate from the world... with all negativity piled up and causing me all health problems I finally decided to blow up all the negativity and make a new start. I understood from the experience that confidence can never be build by some method or someone else other than ourself. Prayer is one good thing that helps to motivate our self being. Believing that again good things will come to life is another. Once i happened to read a poster stating "When the winter comes it states that spring is not far away". Have to keep up with the positive thinking despite all the lose and problems we suffer.. those are part of life and for stating that good is not far away.

self-confidence is really about trusting your self. i read an article about how to trusting your self. i hope this is useful for you to get back your confidence. 1. Feed back from friends or family, ask five people that you know and trust to give you a list of three things they really like about you. 2. Top 30 Achievement, write list out 30 things that you are proud of achieving, it doesn't matter how big or small. 3. Ask "as if", ask your self what you would do, how you would ask if you-than choose a situation and act confidently in that. 4. Keep your promises. 5. Take a chance,... be your self. 6. Do something you enjoy, few things can give the rush of confidence that mastery can. 7. Get Confidence buddies, ask 2-3 people when you need reassurance, when your confidence is shaky. ask them to remind you. 8. Help someone else, no matter how badly off you think you are ....there is always someone who has worse problems than you. 9. Gratitude, Look what have you do have. 10. Be kind to your self. Take action now!
