About This Article
To become more confident, take a few moments every morning to look at yourself in the mirror and say something encouraging that you believe to be true about yourself or that you hope to be true someday. For example, tell yourself "I am an intelligent person." Also try writing confidence boosting notes to yourself that you will see throughout the day, like "You're doing a great job!" Finally, take good care of yourself by getting enough rest, eating a healthy diet, and surrounding yourself with positive people. If you want to learn more from our Licensed Counselor co-author, like how to identify times that affect your confidence, keep reading the article!
