This document discusses self-confidence and its importance. It defines self-confidence as having a belief in one's own abilities. There are three types of self-confidence: low self-confidence where one avoids risks, optimal self-confidence where one acts with confidence despite criticism, and overconfidence which involves an inflated ego. The document provides tips for building self-confidence such as believing in oneself, gaining knowledge, overcoming fears, being positive, learning from past failures, avoiding comparisons, and envisioning oneself with high self-confidence. Having self-confidence provides advantages like greater well-being, success, and fulfilling interactions with others.

SELF CONFIDENCE
WHAT IS SELF CONFIDENCE? Having belief about yourself and your abilities. In order to achieve our vision, we need “wisdom” (holistic intelligence with experience) and “Determination and Enthusiasm” For that we need “Self Confidence” Self Confidence means ‘Trust to ourselves with full of inner strength. These are our means and tools to make our dream or purpose come true.
TYPES OF SELF CONFIDENCE Low Self Confidence Optimal Self Confidence  Over Confidence
LOW SELF CONFIDENCE  Staying in our comfort zone, fearing failure and so avoid taking risks. Some Points are,  “I can’t find happiness.” This is the paradox that confuses even the smartest people. You need to learn how to set yourself up so that success and happiness find you  “Life has nothing more to offer me.” This statement is another mistake that people make. It is a mistake because the statement is inside-out, in reverse. Instead it should read: “What do I have to offer life?”
OPTIMAL SELF CONFIDENCE  Doing what you believe to be right, even if others mock or criticize you for it.  Make Decisions with Absolute Confidence.  At Optimal Self-Trust you’ll learn how to: Release self-doubt and replace it with self- confidence  Make crisis-time decisions with swift and total clarity.  Stop beating yourself up about past choices.  Listen to what you want instead of needing others approval.
OVER CONFIDENCE Often we come across people who are over confident i.e. egotistic and stubborn. Generally these people have the so called ‘Superiority Complex’ A condition of over-approximating one's capacity to perform or under- approximating the capacity of an opponent to perform. An unsupported belief or unrealistically good presumption that a favoured result will arise. Overconfidence is generally not an attractive trait in anyone.
WAYS TO BUILD SELF CONFIDENCE • Believe in your abilities.  Always trust in your own abilities. Even when you think you can’t ……because YOU CAN. Believe in yourself. If you don’t believe in yourself, how can you expect others to believe in you.
GAIN KNOWLEDGE One can gain knowledge without having experience. But one can not gain experience without also acquiring knowledge.
OVERCOME YOUR FEARS. Master it, or build a partnership with someone else who is not fazed by that fear. F- ALSE E- VIDENCE A- PPEARING R - EAL
BE POSITIVE Stop repeating negative thoughts to yourself and replace them with positive ones You can’t live a positive life with a negative mind
EXAMINE YOUR PAST FAILURES Don’t punish the present self for the past mistakes, go beyond them We all fail, but not all get up. It happened a long time ago, MOVE ON! Look at the past to gain experience to overcome future problems. Our past and history has given us experience so we know how to respond.
Stop comparisons • My neighbour is better than me in this. You are better than him in many other ways • So what? Everyone has their own share of problems, focus on your own • No one can lead your life, stop trying to compare them to you, they are not even close • Your life, your rules – No one has a say in that!
•
WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF? – Let’s start with one thing at a time! •What is the one thing you think you  cannot do? •Again, not a list, just that one little  thing which is most important to you •Why do you think you cannot do it?  – Resources/Talent/Expertise? The first step is in acceptance and if you ask me, you have already started
WHAT DOES ACHIEVING THIS MEAN TO YOU? • Does this mean that you can  achieve your goals better? • Does it mean that you can solve  bigger problems? • Does it mean that you are capable  and successful? We are talking about just the what, we will get to the why soon.
WHY ARE YOU AFRAID OF IT? WHAT ARE YOUR REASONS? • I have tried it before and it has not  worked • I have seen more intelligent  people try and fail • I don’t have it in me, I am not  capable enough Be honest, not to me but for yourself, why do you think you cannot do it?
Advantages of having Self Confidence Greater self worth. More happiness and enjoyment. Freedom from self doubt. Greater strength and capabilities. Freedom from fear and anxiety.
Cont…  Freedom from social anxiety.  More peace of mind and less stress.  More energy and motivation to act.  Greater success  More beneficial and enjoyable interactions with others.
Imagine you were completely self confident •How does that make you feel •What is the image you have about yourself with this much confidence? •How would you approach the problems if you were confident? Don’t focus on what you are afraid of, focus on what you want.
SO…. You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.
Thank youThank you
