Exercises to become sure of yourself
Fortunately, one is not born secure or insecure about oneself, self-esteem and trust are not things that remain unchangeable. Being sure of yourself is something that can be improved, just as it is possible to improve self-esteem in an easy way. There are exercises that result in increasing self-confidence. Some of these relate to external methods , including all those actions that take place in the outside world and allow us to challenge ourselves and take a step forward in our personal growth, so as to leave our security zone and get involved; the other techniques concern internal methods instead and they are the ones that start from one's own interiority, for example, among the main ones, the exercise of self-image .
Increase the safety of if it is possible
The self-image is the image that each of us has of himself, which does not necessarily coincide with the objective and real image of us, the one that reflects the mirror. When self-image is not positive, there are negative effects on self-confidence and self-esteem. It is very important to have a positive self-image of ourselves that we like ourselves.
An exercise to improve the image we have of ourselves is to visualize it in front of us but to make some changes, some expedients, for example to visualize it with a more positive attitude, open towards the world, more colorful, more vivid and then immerse yourself in this new beauty image that we have created of ourselves and practice seeing the world as he would see it, with the positive sensations we have created.
Practicing to repeat this exercise several times a day for some time will have positive effects on our safety because we will get to try and see the world with the same sensations with which it sees our positive clone that now is no longer a clone, a image but we are ourselves.
Focus on yourself
Another very effective exercise to increase self-confidence is the "as if" technique , asking ourselves , for example, what we would do today if we were and we felt like some of our self-confident people. By focusing on ourselves we can start making a mental list of actions that we would do if we felt in this condition (jump into a new project, ask the girl that we like the phone number, etc.)
Starting from the one that seems smaller and easier to carry out, one puts it into action during the day, doing the same thing the next day with another action. You proceed in small steps so as not to feel overwhelmed and get stuck.
Changing is not impossible, it is always in change, and with the right actions even a person who feels insecure can become a person sure of herself and full of self-esteem.
