- 19. Dress to impress No one is more conscious of the way you look than you. If you've never taken steps to improve your wardrobe, you may not realise the dramatic effect it can have on your confidence levels.

- 25. Compliment others When we think negatively about ourselves, we often project that feeling on to others in the form of insults and gossip. To break this cycle of negativity, get in the habit of praising others. Make an effort to praise and compliment, in the process you will be appreciated and become well liked and in the process build self confidence. By looking for the best in others, you bring out the best in yourself.

- 27. Sit in the front row In Universities and meetings around the world people constantly strive to sit at the back of the room. Most people prefer the back because they're afraid of being noticed. By deciding to sit in the front row, you can get over this irrational fear and build your self confidence. You'll also be more visible to the key people talking from the front of the room.
- 29. Speak up During group discussions some people never speak up because they're afraid that others will judge them for saying something stupid. This fear is n't really justified as people are far more accepting than we imagine. Most people are dealing with the exact same fears. By making an effort to speak up at least once in every group discussion you'll become a better public speaker and more confident in your own thoughts.

Therefore a great strategy to avoid this is by focusing on everything you have to be grateful for. Recall past successes, unique skills, loving relationships
- 32. Focus on contribution We focus too much on ourselves and not on the needs of others. If you stop thinking about yourself and concentrate on the contribution you are making to the rest of the world, you won't worry as much about your own flaws.
