Limitless self-confidence: How to create your own success?

Nobody in the world can tell you what makes you happy or what success is to you. Nobody else knows what is important to you, but we live in a society that is dominantly based on masculine values. This means that success is measured by how much money you have or what kind of role you have in a company. Some women find it really difficult to fit into the measure of success defined by this kind of culture. Let me get this straight, there’s nothing wrong with having money as your indicator for success, but it is not valid for everybody. Different people define success differently, and that is perfectly fine.  

I think we can all agree that we’ve had our confidence take a nosedive at some point in life, right? You probably thought that you would mess something up and felt discouraged. However, it is essential to constantly remind yourself that your success is your own, and you decide how to measure it. What you need to do is take action and stay committed to your goals until you accomplish them. 

Here are some tips that can help you feel good about yourself in life and work. 

• Be self-aware

Getting to know yourself is the foundation for improving anything in your life, and that goes for confidence, too. It is the ability to understand your motivations, emotions, reactions, and behaviors through reflection. It’s not only about collecting information, but it’s also about paying attention to your inner world without judgment. If you’re afraid to step outside your comfort zone, your brain catalogs that information, and the next time you’re faced with something new, you’ll feel frightened again. Being self-aware helps you see these patterns and behaviors, so you can free yourself from limiting beliefs. 

• Make a list of victories.

Listing your accomplishments- no matter how big or small they are- really boosts your confidence. You can use this strategy whenever you are feeling down or don’t believe in your abilities. Rather than focusing on what you haven’t achieved, try to list the things you have done. Your accomplishments are actually abundant; you just need to shift your mindset. Being mindful of what you have accomplished will help you build the necessary self-compassion and self-worth required to get through hard times. 

• Try to face your fears. 

Fear is a confidence killer, and it can stop you right in your tracks, preventing you from living your true purpose. Fear of failure, rejection, and criticism are among the most common threats that can stop you from achieving success. However, they are things that might happen but haven’t really happened and probably won’t, for that matter. To build healthy confidence you need to face your fears courageously over and over again until they diminish. 

• Get rid of self-doubt.

Most of the time, when you’re feeling unconfident, it could be that you are simply too hard on yourself. You probably have convinced yourself that you are not good enough, not smart enough, just not enough to achieve what you really want to! That’s why you need to remind yourself that others aren’t judging you as harshly as you think or aren’t judging you at all. This kind of thinking can help you feel less anxious and more worthy of your success.
