Believe it or not, some of the most renowned folks you see are introverts. How did they use their introversion to their advantage and achieve success in an industry that seems geared toward loud, outgoing folk?
Here are four easy steps that can help.
1. Affirmation.
The most important thing is to triumph in the fight of mindset. Affirmation are basically positive things that you are saying aloud to yourself each day. This can be extremely hard on occasions because you may not actually believe what you are saying. So why would you say something to oneself that you do not believe? Raised confidence to step out has to start with you. Hence if you're shy and threatened by folk, start to say something similar to the following: "I am NOT shy and I am Not threatened by folk. I'm Very confident when I get around people."
Repeat this to yourself out loud at least 10 times before you leave your room. When you say this, don't just mumble it either, say it as many times as obligatory until you assert it with eagerness and conviction.
2. Read to grow.
Again, increased confidence starts with you. Read something everyday for a minimum of 30 minutes that will help you raise your self-image. This may be an article, a book, or even an audio series. The more you learn the more that you will grow. The more you grow, the more your self-image will improve.
3. Do something each day.
Do something every day, starting with something little, that directly deals with your low self-esteem. As an example, if you are unable to talk with people as you feel unsure and inferior, just start by saying 'Hi'. As you get more content with this, then start to make small talk. You will start to feel more assured and more confident till one day, you will find that you have overcome low self confidence in that area.
4. Stop the negative thoughts.
Destructive thoughts are like land mines. As fast as you step out to face your fear, a destructive thought comes and tells you that you can't do it and BOOM; you think it and lose that round. As an alternative diffuse negative thoughts before they have a opportunity to do damage.
A good way to do this is with an elastic band! Put a rubber band around your wrist. Each time a idea comes into your head that tells you that you can't do something, you may never succeed, or anything negative, SNAP the elastic tie on your wrist.
You may be snapping that band till your wrist is red and sore. Before long though, you will stop the negative feelings because you don't want to harm your wrist anymore.
These four steps will help you increase your self-esteem and become more confident stepping out. Just remember this: you aren't going to switch over night. It'll take a little time but so long as you are progressing, you are on your way to success.
