WHAT IS CONFIDENCE?
Confidence means feeling sure of yourself and your
abilities — not in an arrogant way, but in a realistic,
secure way. Confidence isn't about feeling superior to
others. It's a quiet inner knowledge that you're
capable.
TRAITS OF CONFIDENT PEOPLE
feel secure rather than insecure
know they can rely on their skills and strengths to
handle whatever comes up
feel ready for everyday challenges like tests,
performances, and competitions
think "I can" instead of "I can't"
WHY CONFIDENCE MATTERS
Confidence helps us feel ready for life's experiences.
When we're confident, we're more likely to move
forward with people and opportunities — not back away
from them. And if things don't work out at first,
confidence helps us try again.
It's the opposite when confidence is low. People who are
low on confidence might be less likely to try new things
or reach out to new people. If they fail at something the
first time, they might be less likely to try again. A lack
of confidence can hold people back from reaching
their full potential.
BELIEVING IN YOURSELF
Has someone told you that you're smart? Funny? Kind? Artistic?
A good student? A good writer? A good athlete?
When people praise us or recognize our skills and capabilities, it
can boost our confidence — as long as we believe these good
things, too. If you've ever doubted the good things people say
about you, that's the opposite of self-confidence.
To feel truly confident, you need to really believe you are capable.
The best way to get that belief is through using your skills and
talents — by learning and practicing.
Confidence helps us move forward to discover and develop our
capabilities. When we see what we're capable of and take pride in
our achievements, confidence gets even stronger.
HOW TO BE MORE CONFIDENT
1.Build a confident mindset. When your inner voice says "I can't,"
retrain it to say "I can." Or you could also say, "I know I can learn (or do)
this if I put my mind to it."
2.Compare yourself kindly. It's natural to compare ourselves with other
people. It's a way to understand ourselves and develop the qualities we
admire. But if comparisons often leave you feeling bad about yourself,
it's a sign to work on your confidence and self-esteem.
3.Shake off self-doubt. When we doubt our abilities, we feel inferior,
unworthy, or unprepared. That can make us avoid people and situations
we might enjoy and grow from.
4.Take a safe risk. Sign up for a school committee, volunteer to help with
a project or bake sale, or try out for a team or talent show. Raise your
hand in class more often. Talk to that cute kid in your science class.
5.Challenge yourself to do something that's just beyond your normal comfort
zone. Pick something you'd like to do if only you had more confidence. Give yourself
a little push and do it. Now that you've done that, pick something else to try — and
keep repeating this same process. Confidence grows with every step forward.
6.Know your talents and help them shine. We're taught to work hard to improve
our weaknesses. Sometimes that's important, like bringing up a bad grade. But don't
let working on a weakness prevent you from getting even better at the things you're
good at.
7.Do your homework. Study. Do assignments. Prepare for class, tests, and quizzes.
Why? If you've been keeping on top of class work all along, you'll feel more confident
in tests and finals. The best defense against test anxiety and school stress is to keep
up and do the work steadily.
8.Dare to be the real you. Let others see you for who you are — mistakes, insecurities,
and all. Insecurities are easier to move past when we don't feel like we have to hide
them. Embrace your quirks instead of trying to be like someone else or acting in a
way that's not true to you.
KEEP YOUR CONFIDENCE INTACT
Confidence levels go up and down for all of us, even the
most confident-seeming people.
If something shakes your confidence, show yourself some
understanding. Don't criticize yourself. Learn from what
happened, think what you could have done differently,
and remember it for next time. Talk about what
happened with someone who cares. Then remind yourself
of your strengths and the things you've achieved. Get
back in the game!
SOME QUOTES ON CONFIDENCE
 “Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done
without hope and confidence.” – Helen Keller
 “All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then success
is sure.” – Mark Twain
 “One important key to success is self-confidence. An important key to
self-confidence is preparation.” – Arthur Ashe
“Confidence… thrives on honesty, on honor, on the sacredness of
obligations, on faithful protection and on unselfish performance.
Without them it cannot live.” – Franklin D. Roosevelt
