What Is Self-Confidence?
Before we dig into how to build self-confidence, it’s important to identify what it really is.
Self-confidence is a feeling of complete trust in your abilities, knowledge, and skills. Another key point of self-confidence is that it looks a little different for everyone, depending on your personality.
In general, though, to be confident means that you have a generally positive attitude and a healthy way of thinking about yourself.
High levels of self-confidence are also related to having good self-esteem.
Self-esteem differs from confidence in that it refers to your sense of personal value and self-worth. This also goes hand in hand with self-respect, which is self-explanatory: Self-respect is being aware of your worth and treating yourself accordingly.
Keep in mind that you don’t have to be confident 100% of the time to be a confident person. Many self-confident people tend to feel nervous or unsure from time to time. That’s natural. You can still be a confident person overall even if you don’t swagger into every room with your chest out.
In fact, most signs of self-confidence are quieter… but we’ll get to that in a minute.
Why Believe In Yourself?
Believing in yourself builds self-confidence. And over time, this leads to a whole host of benefits in the workplace and in your personal life.

Surround Yourself With Positivity
Your choice of the people with whom you live, work, and associate has more of an impact on your emotions and your success than any other factor. Decide today to associate with winners, with positive people, and those who are going somewhere with their lives.
Visualize positive things and set positive expectations for yourself, as well. Envision yourself accomplishing your goals, living the life you want to live, and being surrounded by what you want in your life.
Focus on, “what if I succeed,” instead of, “what if I fail.”
It’s also important to develop favorable health habits.
