1) Create your Vision

This technique has been used by many sports athletes, celebrities, entrepreneurs and many successful people.

This is the technique what separates them with you, most people start to work on their dream and goal without procrastination.

In your case call it lack of motivation as the time passes your desire got faded away, and the plan, the dream or goal eventually dies.

This powerful visualizing technique helped many people the super successful, the achievers, the greatest athletes to achieve their dream and goals.

All you need to do is create an environment visualize yourself, as there is the old saying “we must see it before we can believe it.”

To practice this the best time will be on start of the day as you wake up and after your morning routine like prayer and meditation, set aside few minutes for visualisation, imagine yourself.

For example, see your dreams with naked eyes.

Here if your goal is to be a rap star; imagine yourself getting a gig with leading artist.

If your goal is to lose weight and transform yourself then visualize yourself having that aesthetic body.

Now the next step would be to write down your action plan and start building your dream but, here you need to have patience as you know,

“Rome wasn’t build in a day” so don’t be tough nut on yourself and keep aside your ego.

Write achievable realistic goal, for example to lose weight you can’t lose or shed 5 pounds/week, but 1 pound/week is achievable.

So based on your own comfort zone and routine, create your own route map or blueprint to achieve your goal.

Visualization helps brain to generate a positive force which sends signal to brain and helps us to see those things and saved in your memory.

Whether you are a student, business-man, work-at-home mom, chef, cook, entrepreneur, or athlete just try this simple and easy technique and experience the difference.

Visualization is not going to work unless you gonna put that into actionable things and hard work.

There’s no substitute to hard work …right?

2) Groom To Be the Best

The way you look and groom yourself will define your personality in society and to others.

As a result, they surely praise you for your personality, which leads to boost your self-confidence.

If you look sharp and dapper you’ll surely have a great level of self-confidence, as directly it’s reflects your inner self, and your personality.

Everyone notices a well groomed and hygienic person, your hair, your skin, your nails, your body, your finger everything goes under scanner.

Looking best and maintaining a healthy diet and being in charge of your appearance shows how much you care for yourself.

The discipline you show by maintaining your grooming game, which is one of the best qualities to have to build self-confidence.

3) Dress to Impress

“Clothing is a form of self-expression, there are hints about who you are in what you wear” – MARC JACOBS

Dressing does wonder if done greatly and appropriately, there’s always a first and impactful impression game.

Great dressing will give you a head start for that important meeting or any great life moment.

Just think you are going for a meeting, and you have that one special or favorite well suited and comfortable clothes which you think suits you up perfectly after putting it up it will seriously boost your confidence level.

Dressing doesn’t always mean to buy and wear costly stuff in $1000’s of hard-earned dollar range.

Here what I want you to do is pick and put on whatever you feel comfortable, presentable, and appropriate of course!!

Remember it’s always a quality not quantity so don’t be a fool, act wisely.

Just for the sake of being cool don’t invest heavily on dresses or any designer stuff.

4) Stop Negative Thinking

Negative Thinking is the worst enemy one can have and still almost everyone has it.

But, successful people don’t dwell on negative thoughts they just kill it mercilessly.

What I do, whenever, I have a negative thought I just write it down,

Yes I seriously write that thought down on a simple white paper!!

Then imagine yourself being a mentor to a little boy or any person who come up to you for the help as he is shy or not comfortable to speak you directly, so, he has given you a letter explaining his problem there in detail.

Now what I do in this case, as mentor I try to look for solutions and a problem-solver for that sweet little child.

By doing this then I come up with many angles and solutions,

Why?

Because here I just did a role-play.

I changed my current problem or situation with that person so by just changing the perspective,

I got the solutions.

It’s easy when we just imagine someone else’s problem and finding solution and giving them advice and tips.

You all need to do the same whenever you have a little negative self talk regarding one aspect of life just follow the above stuff.

This little tip will surely add that extra ammunition in your arsenal and boost your self-confidence.

5) Practice Positive Thinking

It’s not an easy task to become a positive thinking, hence I said practice positive thinking, and it will take the time.

The best thing to start will be to practice positive affirmations just write good affirmations like,

“Today will be a good day”

“I am kind and brave”

“I am beautiful”

“I am strong”

“Today, I will learn good things and grow.”

6) Tweak your Self-Image

Your self-image is a personal picture of your own-self your personal view about your own set of characteristic.

That’s why there’s a saying, “Only you can make yourself happy”, how true is that.

We all have our self-image which we feel and constantly think about it all the time 24✕7 around the clock throughout the year till last breath here on this earth.

It’s very important to have a keep our image positive regardless of any situation, you know yourself better than anyone in your own life.

Remembering your bad days, and how far you have come in life,

These things you can easily do and work it out to build your positive self-image.

Just believe in yourself you are in the driver seat of your life not your negative thinking right.

So, take control and kick out all bad and negative thinking which drains your energy.

Just by interacting with them makes me feel more of gratitude, thankfulness.

As a result, it help me gain confidence to fight with issues in my life, which are actually pity issues compared to them.

If possible, you also try to join any good social programs.

This will give you boost in self-confidence, and also, you’ll feel you are in much better position as compared to them.

But then I started working out and shed those extra pounds, which seriously boost me up and helped me to get back on track.

Exercise will help you make better version of yourself physically and mentally.

Working out releases feel good chemicals, and eventually relieve us from stress and anxiety.

See life is a game you only get one chance to hit a home run, no one knows when you’ll get that golden chance or opportunity.

So, you need to make sure to put your blood and sweat onto that dream of yours.
