5 Key Factors that Boost Your Confidence

Boost Your Confidence

There is nothing wrong with being an introvert, but studies show that extroverts are more likely to win a position. This is largely due to their ability to appear confident during an interview. In the purest sense, confidence is knowing what you’re good at, the value you provide, and acting in a way that conveys that to others. Focus on these 5 factors that can boost your confidence for both the short term and the long haul!

  1. Appearance

If you’ve never taken steps to assess and improve your wardrobe, you may not realize the effect it can have on your confidence level. When how you appear correlates with how you want people to view you, confidence can easily follow. Choose an outfit you’re comfortable in that simultaneously showcases your professionalism.

  1. Positivity

It’s as simple as a genuine smile. Smiling enables your ability to recover from stressful situations more easily. The Grin & Bear It technique has found that smiling during instances of stress can help to reduce the intensity of the body’s response to stress, regardless as to whether the person is actually happy.

  1. Body Language

Strike a power pose! Researchers have shown that striking a power pose for 2 minutes greatly decreases your cortisol levels which will help to reduce anxiety. Power posing is a confidence technique that suggests standing in a way that allows your body to take up as much space as possible will help you mirror the chemistry of confidence.

  1. Self-Perception

You can do anything! Banishing negative self-talk and focusing on daily affirmations are the best ways to boost confidence in the long term. Have you just completed a task? Tell yourself you did an awesome job! Be your biggest cheerleader. You are good enough!

  1. Physical Health

Exercising releases a large number of endorphins that make you feel great and give your confidence a boost. The long-term effects of physical fitness allow your mental programming to remind you that you are doing something constructive for your continual well-being.
