How To Unleash Your Inner Career Confidence
A lack of confidence is a huge road block in career development. We’ve all had feelings of inadequacy at work, and we’ve all suffered confidence problems. It’s the feeling that holds us back and stops us reaching our full potential. If you’re determined to find a long, powerful career, you need to find that inner confidence! You need to believe that you are good enough to take on the world and win. Trust us, it’s possible, you just have to unleash it.
Discovering (or rediscovering) your confidence all lies in positivity. It’s about surrounding yourself with belief and forgetting what other people think. We’re not saying this is an easy process. Far from it. But, if you want to succeed in your career, confidence is the answer. Today we’re going to show you how to bring out that courage and belief from deep inside. We all have in us; it’s just a case of letting it out. Here’s how.
Get out of your comfort zone – All the positive changes in your life will occur outside your comfort zone. When you stay within your limits, you never reach your full potential. Instead, you begin to fear everything outside of this imaginary circle. The longer you stay inside, the more your confidence suffers. Take a step outside; do something you’ve never done before. Make that phone call you’ve been worried about or apply for that dream job. It will be scary, but you’ll find that you’re more than capable. Completing something you didn’t think was possible will boost your confidence no end!
Face up to your weaknesses – It is always our weaknesses that hold us back. We fail to capitalise on situations because we often think we’ll fall short. Rather than ignoring those weaknesses, face up to them! Tackle them head on, identify them and start to work on them. Target them and turn them into strengths. When you do this, you’ll find much more confidence to take on a new challenge.
Remember, perfection is impossible – Many of us lose confidence because we’re chasing perfection. It’s a completely understandable, human thought. We all put our hardest efforts into creating something perfect. When we inevitably fall short, we lose confidence. Don’t expect or chase perfection, you’ll never reach it! Instead, focus on taking a small step forward with everything you do. Expectations and goals are fine, but make them realistic and achievable.
Look fantastic – We know that beauty should never dictate confidence. However, we all know that when we look good, we feel good. And when we feel good, we can take on the world! Start with makeup that complements your face and tone. Then keep your skin looking clear and beautiful with Alpha H Cosmetics. Finally, find that killer business dress and wear it with confidence. This small boost will give you the attitude you need to tackle that meeting you’re worried about.
Reward yourself! – As we were saying before, perfection is impossible. Instead, recognise when you’ve done a good job. Congratulate yourself when you’ve taken a step forward and achieved something. Any move forward is a positive one. We’re all far too hard on ourselves sometimes. We wait for praise from others and downplay our achievements. Stop it! Treat yourself after a big project or anytime you went beyond your comfort zone.
Exercise and work out – We are firm believers in the power of exercise. First of all, it raises your heartbeat and makes you feel alive. Secondly, it emits feel-good chemicals into the brain. It keeps those negative thoughts at bay and can even ward off depression. Working out is a fantastic stress buster too. Ever tried hitting a punch-bag for half an hour? You’ll release that negative energy and feel brilliant. Finally, it’s another small goal you can achieve. Every mile you run is another big step forward that will boost your overall confidence.
Surround yourself with positive people – Negative thoughts bring us down. We know that all too well when these ideas creep into our heads. It’s hard enough fighting off negative feelings of our own, without worrying about the negativity of others! Your life should have no room for pessimistic people. Their words will downplay your achievements and belittle your ideas. You need to find people that are optimistic about life and their career. These are the people that you can bounce ideas around with and boost confidence.
Think big – Confidence all starts with belief. You need to dream big and truly believe that you can take on the world. Do you want to start your own company? Amazing, that is a grand idea, and we love that. Don’t be scared of that big idea. Embrace it and start to work out how you can achieve it. Break those big ideas down into little objectives and make it happen. You’ve got to set the destination before you can get going.
Body language – Confidence is infectious. When you exude strength and belief, you’ll convince others. You’ll convince your boss, your investors and the rest of your team. It all starts with body language. Stand tall, speak with clarity and make eye contact. When you express strong body language, you’ll garner respect from colleagues. That respect will give you a confidence boost and an injection of self-belief. If all else fails, smile, it is the ultimate projection of confidence.
To-do lists – We know you hate your to-do list! But, today’s the day you start to embrace it. Confidence all comes from achievements. And, as little as they may be, every tick on your to-do list is an achievement. Quite simply, confidence is getting things done. Be strict about writing things down and checking them off. It will give you clarity and stop negative thoughts building up. Itemise it, categorise it and get it done!
Don’t let a lack of confidence hold you back in your career. Take control of those negative thoughts and send them back to where they came! Think big and make things happen for yourself.
