Know how self-care can help with self-confidence
Hey Reader,
The many advantages of self-confidence can help you overcome your fears and inhibitions so you can face life’s challenges.
Do you lack confidence?
Don’t worry – self confidence is something that you can build up over time.
In fact, building self-confidence is an important part of learning and of practicing self-care, and it will help maintain healthier relationships and independence.
Many people tend to compare themselves with other people, but constantly measuring yourself against others is a quick way to feel inferior.
If you are the same, and you keep thinking about your inferiority, it is only a matter of time before your mind is filled with negative thoughts and fears.
When you feel like your negative thoughts might be pulling you down, take the time to think about your good qualities and feel pride in yourself.
Knowing the advantages of self confidence can give you the motivation to move forward and have the confidence to do things your way.
Want to know how confidence can change your life? Keep reading!
#1: Having Self-Confidence Can Make You Appreciate Your Uniqueness
You know that you have unique abilities and talents – that should be enough to convince you that you have something that makes you deeply valuable.
If you have the tendency to compare yourself against someone among your peers, you need to stop doing that now.
Instead of making comparisons, you need to learn how to accept yourself for who you are and where you are.
You have unique qualities and abilities that are useful to you and can also help others.
You will feel more at ease when you learn to accept who you are and move forward.
Keep in mind that your uniqueness is your most valuable asset.
In the entire universe, no one else is like you.
You need to embrace everything that you are – your current style, skin color, quirks, and everything else.
You appreciate others’ uniqueness and you are proud of what you are.
Everyone has yet to achieve perfection, but you can consider yourself, in a sense, perfect as you are.
#2: Self-Confidence Allows You To Appreciate Your Imperfection
The Japanese wabi-sabi teaches us to find beauty in imperfection.
If you can’t see yourself as someone perfect in your own right, you may find it easier to gain self-worth and appreciation when you discover beauty in your imperfection.
One of the most amazing advantages of self confidence is allowing you to embrace your imperfection, and yet still appreciate your own self-worth.
It is good if you don’t always feel or think of yourself as inept, but when you feel insecure, think about embracing the beauty of your imperfection.
In the same manner, you also need to find the goodness in others and avoid being judgmental.
You don’t want other people to make you feel awkward, and the others also feel the same.
Don’t do things that can make people feel ill at ease around you, and you will feel relaxed when interacting with them.
Like you, everyone has their own beauty and imperfections.
Give them the respect and appreciation they deserve, and they will usually reciprocate it.
#3: Self-Confidence Makes You Bold Enough To Ask Questions
Many people believe that they need to always know what others are talking about whenever they have discussions among peers.
They are afraid to be labeled as someone who knows nothing.
Are you the same?
Self-confidence can make you bold enough to admit that you don’t know what is being discussed but want to know more about it.
You can ask for more information and ask questions with confidence.
The question you want to raise could be the same thing in everyone’s mind in that room.
They are afraid to ask and wish that someone will ask it for them.
Self-confidence can give you courage beyond your imagination.
You can only learn the things that you want to know when you voice out the right questions to ask even if they sound awkward.
#4: Self-Confidence Helps You Appreciate Your Strengths and Weaknesses
If you don’t have self-confidence, it’s difficult to see your weaknesses in a positive light.
It is easy to appreciate your strength, but how about your weakness?
Your weakness is your flaw that you also need to appreciate.
You need to keep the principle behind wabi-sabi in mind.
Appreciate your strengths, and don’t forget to say thank you when someone compliments you.
Accept your weakness and regard it as something that can allow others to shine.
#5: You can Gain Freedom From Social Anxiety
 |
Gaining freedom from social anxiety, accepting other people’s quirks or oddities, and having peace of mind when talking to others are also part of the advantages of self confidence.
You won’t feel pressured when talking to people, and you feel at ease.
You can accept other people’s quirks and try not to regard them as something offensive.
When you feel good about the people and things that surround you, the level of confidence that you have will increase.
You are certain that you can handle anything that comes your way.
#6: You Feel Happy And Healthy
 |
Self-confidence can always make you look forward to a new day instead of wishing that it won’t come so you can stay hidden in your room forever.
You can feel happier and healthier.
You can have a good night’s sleep and wake up feeling rejuvenated.
Your confidence gives you the strength to anticipate the things that the new day brings.
You know that you can overcome any challenge and conquer everything, including your fear.
