Feel Great About Yourself with Five Tips to Self Confidence

St. Louis, MO, July 01, 2015 --(PR.com)-- 1. Quiet down your critical voice. Did you know you can change your mind by simply interrupting yourself? You can strengthen neural pathways with attention or weaken them with inattention, just like a muscle. Quiet the original negative thought and turn it into a more positive one. If you find yourself always saying, “My arms are fat” – interrupt the thought and re-word it to: “My arms enable me to swim for long distances,” or “My arms are strong and beautiful.” In time, the original negative thought will become background noise. Try it – it works.

2. Have a friend – Be a friend. The next time you need a serious confidence boost, reach out to your inner circle. Enjoy the company you are with, the ones who matter, the conversations you are having and the vitamin D you are soaking up. Savor the moment.

3. Rock out. Pumping up the jams is great for both your mind and body. Recent research shows listening to music can leads to feeling more powerful. When creating playlists, look for songs with a heavy bass – they create more feelings of power than those with less bass.

4. Stand tall and show off those pearly whites. One trick to looking and feeling poised is to stand up straight. Imagine there’s a rope pulling the top of your head toward the sky. The rest of your body should straighten accordingly. This simple solution will make you feel more attractive and confident instantly. Smiling is another easy way to look more attractive. It makes you instantly appear more approachable and conveys you’re comfortable in your own skin. (Bonus: Smiling also lowers blood pressure, reduces stress and releases serotonin and endorphins.)

5. Snap a #selfie. Though selfies sometimes get a bad rap, they’re empowering. Studies show those who see their face on the Internet feel more confident. Consider this your green light to snap, filter, and post.
