Gathered below is a list of 60 charming yet subtle ways you can instantly become more confident. All without turning people off or being misinterpreted.

Spontaneously smile more often, even if it’s only a grin. Do something daily that MAKES you smile and/or laugh freely. Always be true to who you are, thus you’ll be living without regrets. Don’t be concerned about what others think, your opinion of you is all that matters. Forget about following all the ‘rules’ with perfection, what is there to learn from that anyway? Admit when you’re wrong and allow yourself the lesson of it. Don’t beat yourself up over mistakes made, freely ‘feel’ your emotions and embrace improvement. Limit any negative self-talk, and try to focus instead on words that soothe and heal. Listen to your doubts and respond with preparation for overcoming them. Make a plan and implement deliberate choices; start small with one day/hour/minute at a time. Deal with any failure like a champion, for it is a necessary part of the process. Trust your instincts, follow your heart chakra and intuition, it will not lead you astray. Stop comparing yourself and your path to others, everything is meant to be as it should. Surround yourself with positive people who love, encourage, and support you and your dreams. Try something new and create your own reality, create your own path. Pursue your passions in life, never give up on reaching higher levels of your craft. Take chances and risks from time to time to remember why you signed up for this life. Practice independence and learn to rely on yourself, as well as being there for others. Get to know yourself and who you truly are, on all levels – and value it’s worth! Think positive and quash negative thoughts as they bubble up, canceling them out. Stop trying to understand everyone and everything, it will only lead to confusion and heartache. Don’t try to do every little thing all by yourself, it’s perfectly reasonable to ask for help. Try not to over-think and over-analyze everything either, some things are best left as is. Be spontaneous and ask someone out, whether new or old, friend or stranger. Next time you talk yourself out of doing something, do it anyway! Strike up a conversation with someone new at a social gathering, rather than stick with those you know. Be crystal clear on what matters most and what you aim to achieve in this lifetime. Learn a new craft or take up a new hobby – you may be surprised at how well it suits you. Be your own cheerleader and encourage yourself to continue during weaker moments. Visualize and gradually work towards the greatest version of yourself. Break a sweat and exercise more often, move energy through your body to keep healthy. Within reason of course, swearing and cussing can help us feel more powerful at times. Learn to become comfortable with being uncomfortable, for it happens to us all and is unavoidable. Cherish all the honest, genuine compliments you receive. Snap a selfie and edit it however you wish too, using it as a tool of empowerment and not vanity. Help others as often as you can, being kind and generous and/or doing volunteer work Write a list of gratitude that includes everything you’re thankful for and focus on ways of enhancing upon it. Also, write a list of tolerance and everything you’re dealing with and focus on ways of improving upon them. Look at everything you’ve accomplished and overcome thus far in life and give yourself proper credit. Embrace every experience there is including both the bad and the good. Nourish your mind with what feels good and what awakens you mentally. Embrace your superstitions and/or beliefs yet also remain open-minded to other possibilities. Be a pal and listen to what other people have to say, offering what advice you can. Be a flirt by charming and complimenting those you come across, it just might make their day. Straighten up your appearance in a way that works for you; stylish, clean, unique, different, etc. Improve upon any small bad habits with perseverance and dedication towards making a change. Drink more water and consume healthier foods to feel good and look good. Spritz on any unique, personal fragrances you like to use to stimulate the senses. Stand up straighter and assume better posture and body language – they both silently speak volumes. Observe and adapt to the confidence of those around you and believe in yourself at all times. Clean up the to-do list as much as possible, and clear your schedule. Use any fear as a means of propelling you forward, the only way to go is straight ahead. Speak slowly and thoughtfully so people have an easier chance to understand and agree. Follow through with any commitments you make or things you say you’ll do. Don’t always say yes to everyone, honor your boundaries – yet also don’t always say no, live a little. Fix up your surroundings so that it flows and harmonizes with your lifestyle. Nod along during conversation or simply at random to subconsciously convey your understanding. Assume a power pose or body language of a strong standpoint, such as straight and tall and in control. Jam out to your favorite music without a care in the world as music helps to alleviate stress. Practice, practice, practice all the above and adapt them one by one into this present moment. 🙂
