Charge It to Experience, Gain Self-Confidence
Have you heard of the adage “experience is the best teacher”? Perhaps you have, but not the one that also tells us “…and considering what it cost, it should be.” It’s also likely that you have not heard it being invoked with regards to increasing your self-confidence. Doesn’t experience tell you something about self-confidence? It can!
Self-forgiveness
Without reference to the religious persuasion or worldview you belong to, you will acknowledge that not being able to forgive yourself is harmful for your self-confidence. One funny example is getting such a terrible school report that your face turns crimson every time you remember it. You remember how hot your face was, how cloudy your glasses were and how lousy your report was.
We often consider being confident, doing things and knowing ourselves as being the best ways to boost our self-confidence, but we sometimes forget about the role of experience in our level of confidence. There is much to be realized from experience considering its value. In fact, if we’re genuine with ourselves, we will admit that quite a lot of our experiences explain our self-confidence or the lack of it. If bad experiences bring us down, how should we prevent them? If the last piece of self-confidence that we have originates from some of our best experiences, how can we make ourselves remember them?
Inside many employees who usually keep their mouth shut in the office, are students who had some awful public speaking or reporting experiences. Shouldn’t you forgive yourself already? Daily life is difficult enough even without that kind of emotional baggage. Stop eternally judging yourself. Every season of “Britain’s Got Talent” eventually ends. Why can’t you move on? If there’s any idea you must un-learn by yourself, it is not to attempt anything daring again. Ask yourself what you could have done to succeed but don’t hate yourself for trying.
Highlight your wins
How come we keep disregarding the hand shaking, the “kudos” and “good job” and contemplate only on “needs improvement”? Remember also occasions when you were 101 percent positive of failure but you end up succeeding with flying colors. Peter Pan doesn’t posses a monopoly on cheerful thoughts and flying. Have a child-like attitude towards your victories; most kids seldom forget their success during childhood. Many adults need to examine articles and blogs about self-confidence to be able to appreciate their own wins.
