Five Tips to Building Unstoppable Confidence and Self Belief

Here’s five points to how you can get it back quickly:

1. Focus on the positive. Stop looking for what’s wrong and see whats right. Look for the best in things and people and if you do something well, then compliment yourself on it.

2. Self talk – the voice in your head, the one that wakes up with you in the morning, stays with you all day and goes to sleep with you, yep that one! The way you talk to yourself is probably the most crucial element in how you feel about life and in gaining confidence.

3.Go back in time to something special you achieved, something that you really had to work hard for. When I’m working with an athlete who might have lost some confidence, I like to show them video footage of a big match or event they won. This brings back good memories and feelings of positive energy. I tell them to look at it at least 3 times a day for a week (Coaches – try this with your athletes). I also tell them to keep a photo next to their bed, reminding them of that special moment (trophy in hands etc..). That person will see that they’ve done if before and they can certainly do it again – maybe even better!

4. Surround yourself with people that build you up. People that want the very best for you. Get rid of negative influences.

5. Believe you are Awesome (because you are), tell yourself as many times in a day as you can and remember…whatever makes you smile is worth doing over and over again.

Confidence is a state of mind – it’s a choice.
