Improving self confidence using Restart Smart thinking and your only moments away from what was to what is.

 

Improving self confidence is one part of the tests we endure in life. When we were born we had it all….think about it. We got what we wanted, for the most part when we wanted, or else we started crying and throwing a fit like a baby (….oh yeah we were a baby)

As we progressed and began to explore our surroundings we were told (NO) quite a lot in an effort to protect us from poking our eye out, burning our fingers, not electrocuting ourselves, falling down etc..etc..etc.

This was done out of love but unbeknown to us it was not having a positive effect on our improving self confidence.

But wait we survived and were sent off to school which in our day was a training ground for future gladiators (if you were male) and beauty queens and perfect wives (if female). We choose not to discuss the present watered down everyone needs to be warm and fuzzy can’t we all just get along system that our future generations are experiencing as we talk.

So what is our point, being after what we went through who didn’t need some help improving self confidence?

We now find ourselves celebrating mid-life taking stock in who we are perhaps even questioning what we have become. You have decided that one of the things you should be working on is improving self confidence….so here we go.

 

Restart Smart ways of improving self confidence tip #1: Remember that time when you made a fool of yourself at work/school/at a public gathering? Why are you even thinking about it? It’s gone, past, dead, nothing you can do about it now so who cares about it besides you. Dwelling on negative memories is as useful as staring in the mirror for an hour….nothing good comes from it.

Restart Smart tip #2 for improving self confidence is: Make a mental list of all the really great things you have done in your life. (What do you mean you haven’t done anything great?) How are you defining greatness? That may be a problem you should address. Greatness is the fact that you have survived a half century and made your own way in life. What about the time you helped a friend or stranger out, that is greatness in the larger plan. Improving self confidence is recognizing your strengths and what you have done with them. Be fair to yourself you might not see it in you but others do.

Restart Smart improving self confidence tip # 3: Believe it or not there is success in just trying. Ever try to run a mile but only got half way? Congratulations you ran a half mile. The last time you went on a diet but you only lost 5 of the 20 pounds you wanted, guess what you still lost weight. It’s all about the way you look at things so if in your mind you failed…turn it around you didn’t. Improving self confidence is easy when you realize how to look at things correctly. Listen to the weather when they say there’s a 30% chance of rain today. No there’s not! There’s a 70% chance of sunshine.

 

You want to work on improving self confidence then Restart Smart tip #4 is as easy as it gets: Surround yourself with positive folks. That’s right, you know that neighbor that is so negative that telling you the glass is half full would be a shock because you never thought they were able to see the glass!

Stay away from them, misery loves company and if you are constantly hearing how bad things are well your self esteem will start hanging out with that bad company.
