Gaining Self-Confidence

Dear friend,
Next to self-esteem we would all like to feel an inner sense of gaining self-confidence. Many of us mix the attributes of self-esteem and confidence up, they are both uniquely different and they actually compliment each-other really well.

However this course is all about raising your confidence levels...

Now, there are generally three types of confidence:

- Performance confidence

- Self-confidence

- And Confidence in the company of others

Performance confidence is described as being really good at doing a particular activity or skill. This particular form of confidence usually comes from doing something over and over again so many times that it becomes easily to execute.

Depending on our tanisity levels, difficult tasks can be very easy to learn, where as others may find certain tasks requires more of an effort.

For example: For different people learning to fix a bike could be easier than learning to do a back hand-spring. Performance confidence comes with continuous practice, the more you practice doing something the more you will find inner self-assurance beginning to grow as tasks become more easy to do.

Now, Self-confidence and inner self-assurance is described as what you believe you are capable of, it is that inner sense of self confidence based on how high you believe your level of being able to feel confident within yourself can rise.

For example: If you feel confident about your skills and capability to learn and grow you are more likely to feel more secure within yourself and move through the world with more ease based on the situations you find yourself. and that will continue to grow as you do!

Self-confidence complements performance confidence really well. The more reasons and evidence you have for why you should feel more confident within yourself the more confident you are likely to feel as you do new things! In a sense its a one-way street, there is no opposing traffic!

And last but not least, Confidence in Company! Which is an extension of self-confidence and performance confidence, ultimately creates LIFE CONFIDENCE.

When you can learn to feel confident about your skills and communicate with others effectively, you gain a sense of free-er self-expression that is not thwarted by negative attacks or external circumstances. Your contribution to the world is 'just' and is energized by the display of your personality!

Events and situations are sometimes un-controllable but you can always rely on yourself to feel confident and express to others that a strong energy is always around to support them.

These 3 types of confidence(s) I have laid out for you display a great foundation you can start working on.

If you want to gain higher levels of confidence within yourself, trying something new performance-wise will allow you to do so, especially if its in an area of life you really want. Feeling more confident around others will help you to become more confident performance-wise, and feeling more confident performance-wise and social-wise will allow you to feel more confident about yourself. And thus the spiral goes round and around like a formula 1 racing wheel.

To build more overall confidence you should seek out to practice in each of these areas to build more confidence, notice your growing progress and start in which ever area feel right for you!
