- I am not going to get that job.
- Others (friends, relatives, siblings, colleagues ) are better than me.
- I do not have what it takes to get that promotion, to get that salary raise, or to get that job.
How did I read your mind? You are probably thinking… Do not fret over this because you are not alone who is stuck in all these negative and confidence-depleting thoughts. Almost everyone in their current life or may be somewhere in the past has been through this stage. So, the good part about these thoughts is that they are 100% in our control and can be transformed with the right guidance.
First of all, let us understand that GROWTH IN YOUR CAREER IS DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO YOUR SELF CONFIDENCE.
Higher the confidence, faster and better the growth at work.Therefore, let me share with you 5 things that you can do to boost your confidence:
- Take a break from your fast-paced life and sit back for some time and just think about yourself, your likes, your strengths and what are you good at. Go down the memory lane and think about what activity, what hobby, what subject made you happy.?
- Contemplate all your office experiences where you appreciated yourself, you liked your own work and you gave a little pat at back to yourself.
- Finding your strengths will help you in channelizing your energy to the work that you are good at and will also make you feel comfortable, and this way you will be able to eliminate self negative talk and your confidence will get a booster shot.
- Do you know, some really good multi-national corporations are not looking for college degrees to give jobs. They are looking for a good skill set.
- Hence, finding your strength does not mean that you have to become complacent, you need to consistently become a better version of yourself, just like any other app on your mobile phone, keep on updating yourself.
GET RID OF NEGATIVE ENERGY
- Our energy is created by our own thoughts and also by people around us.
- Therefore, number 1 thing which you should completely eliminate is negative self talk. It takes your energy, your aura, your willpower really down.
- Number 2, get rid of people who belittle you, they could be some of your colleagues, your friends or just anyone, get rid of them right now.?
BELIEVE AND ACHIEVE: Nothing works better than your own belief in yourself and your dreams. Trust me, belief in oneself work like magic.
Here are some tips on how you can start believing your own power:
- Number 1, be mindful of your thoughts about yourself, WHAT YOU THINK YOU BECOME.
- Number 2, be consciously aware of your words for yourself, if you find yourself saying I am not good enough for this, I am not worthy of this and other negative words, then take a break, and heal.
- Number 3, change your vocabulary from ordinary to powerful, start saying I can, I will, I am worthy, I am excited.
TRUST THE PROCESS OF BECOMING:
- Nothing of true value is ever made in a day, so, on that account, trust the process of becoming.
