How do you show the impact of your confidence building?

In my opinion setting smart goals is essential and it is better to setup challenging goals rather than just achievable goals. Because when it is challenging enough it boosts the confidence to complete the goal.

Smart goals are great for many environments and especially for engineer-like jobs. If you are an artist like painter or poem writer you may prefer setting goals, which are based more on passion or vision or purpose. It still can be SMART but can oscillate more to the less-measurable outcomes.

For me confidence building is a way of life. Every day presents opportunities for and challenges of our confidence. Both are important to growing our confidence. I agree setting SMART goals is important and love that you mentioned celebrating achievements, especially those small wins that we tend to discount or overlook. They are the steppingstones to achieving those life changing goals. Another key area for me is setting examples for those around. One of my favorite things to do is to share the accomplishments of those who took the challenges on, embraced their fear, and began the journey of change. Understanding that if they fall, they will get up again. With each time they rise up, they win.

You don't "show" confidence. Does a fish show it can swim or a falcon show that it can swoop down from the skies at 267 miles an hour? Confidence is an outcome of hard work, earned wisdom, and breaking through barriers. If you have to show that you are confident, then you likely have not earned the right to be confident.

Writing down your thoughts can be powerful. Why? it gives you a chance to reflect in a non-judgmental way. You can organize the problem in your head and even brainstorm solutions. With this type of brainstorming, quality is not as important as the exercise itself.

This is a good practice and it needs to be a ritual to update the confidence journal and review it timely manner. In my opinion scheduling time slots for updating and reviewing the confident journal is essential.

As confidence is a subjective feeling do not let comparison with others ruin your progress achievements. Instead of judging focus on observing and add facts and figures. When journaling you are not participating in a competition 'against' someone. It is a support for your own self. Pen and paper are stronger "buddies" then you might expect at the beginning.

I do journal, but never considered it a confidence journal. I agree that it could be impactful and will definitely give it a try.

This is a good tool to gauge impact of confidence building. By jotting down specific success incidences one monitors progress of confidence building journey. It also helps to build your self image thus directly aiding confidence to take on new challenging activities or tasks.

In seeking feedback, first it is important to conduct a proper stakeholder analysis and figureout from whome to get feedback. Because just getting general feedbacks will not help anyone.

While listening to feedback, do not forget that it is "just" another perspective of another person. It can help you to become aware of multiple different perspectives, but it is not almighty. Feedback itself will newer grant you future success as it only adds details to the past.

Seeking feedback also provides you opportunities to learn how to receive feedback. What do you do with it when it is received. How you react to it. If it is just falling on deaf ears or going into a binder that sits on a shelf, then it is better left unsaid. However, if you take it with an open mind and heart, act on it, you will see change and growth.

This is really important in my view as it boosts the confidence in explaining how the work is achieved. Because experience is a major component of confidence.

Mind the sharing audience. Select them wisely and concentrate on supporters of yours or people with similar challenges. This preselection will help not just you but also them and a multiplication effect will be created in this community.

We tend to not want to toot our own horn. That mindset keeps us from sharing the changes that have come about. It also allows you to reveal the struggles that may have come with the journey to the achievement. The stories of overcoming the challenges to find success can be the motivator to others to step outside their comfort level and accept a new challenge leading to their own confidence growth.

Applying is not always an activity. 'Being' confident in a critical situation in the sense of radiating confidence can be very impactful. From a bystander view, you might just be standing upright and avoid blinking your eyes. But facing an intruder or a criminal with confident stance can avoid a fight.

Confidence is about getting things done. So applying the confidence in getting things done is the ultimate achievement of confidence.

Confidence building is a self attainment to see the change in result setting a target to achieve a final goal in small steps. Only achievement can perfect a story of confidence building and fragmenting the goal in achievable targets complete the journey. The pace of performance may differ but reaching the destination build the confidence to perform again in a better way.

Absolutely agree. You have to have the courage to act and fail and start over. That eliminates the should of, could of, would of excuses in your life.

One of the most powerful ways is to reflect on the past to learn from mistakes and keep hope in difficult times that you will emerge stronger no matter what. Always strategize and anticipate to minimize surprises.

It shall be wise for us to relook at our definition of how we understand confidence. How about you view Confidence as an output per se? What makes up for the needed difference in terms of outcome, so to say, having the requisite confidence, is where you surround yourself with meaningful life experiences, especially the ones you are interested in and/or willing to get associated with; relationships, wherein people you surround yourself with empower you to go fir the right moves, and this way, you start working towards confidence which you are now able to reflect upon as an output - what worked at the back end was your belief in yourself and being particular about how to go about it.

I think consistency is key when building and increasing your confidence. Enlisting an ally is another good opportunity to make sure you stay on track and overcome obstacles. Engage with a friend, family member, co-worker or any other inspiring person on a regular basis to check in on each other’s progress and experiences. I believe that this approach is different to seeking feedback, as it’s also an incredibly helpful exercise when you‘re experiencing setbacks or feel demotivated because things didn‘t go according to plan. Enlisting an ally will not only help you both of you to get back on track faster and achieve your objectives more easily, but also ensures that both of you remain committed and motivated throughout this journey.
