Last month I met up with a long-lost friend whom I haven’t seen for 18 years. He talked and I listened, then I talked and he listened. You know how it is! Then he confided in me on how he was worried about his 17 year old son.

He believed that his son was very confident in his studies and sport, yet lacked self-confidence when it came to social situations.

I rehashed a part of step 1 of my book, Self-Confidence Building in 7 Steps, to him. I informed him that even the most talented people in the world had to build their self-confidence in certain areas of their lives where they lacked that confidence. Self-confidence is not necessarily present in all areas of our lives.

One person may be confident in studies but not in sports. Or perhaps another individual may possess overwhelming self-confidence in his relationships but be nervous when networking in small groups.

Self-confidence can be learned and built upon by increasing your knowledge and skill in the areas where it is lacking.

Here is something I want you to try. I believe by doing this you can find out and learn what self-confidence means to you, and how you can make it work to your advantage.

Take out your success notebook and reminisce over your most recent successes. Seize and hold onto any encouraging feelings that arise. Amplify these confident sensations and intensify them as much as you possibly can. Take your time.

At the height of these emotions, when you feel your real strength and what you are truly capable of doing, lies your self-confidence and what it means to you.

With the heightened feelings at the forefront, quickly write down your personal definition of self-confidence. When done, repeat, “Yes, that’s me!” three or more times.

Now, how powerful was that?!

When you do not feel as confident as you would like to be, remind yourself what self-confidence means to you, and feel it from within. Allow the strength of your definition to circulate in your mind and body. And repeat, “Yes, that’s me!” Then go ahead and feel the difference. Feel confident.

One amazing benefit that I found from writing down my strengths and talents is that it puts me in an upbeat and optimistic frame of mind.

Try it! Write down your strengths and talents and feel yourself get excited and energised. Feel the strength from within come back to life as you become eager and alive, thrilled and highly confident.

You might find yourself saying, “Wow. I did that. I achieved that!” And watch how this enhances your self-confidence even more.

Want to take it yet another step? Read over your notes again a few more times, and bathe in the powerful and electrifying confident emotions that you are having.

Are you the type of person that feels overjoyed at achieving something for the first time? Last week I picked up the phone and spoke with my ex-boss, whom I don’t like very much!

Why did I do it, you ask? Well, I wanted to do something I was uncomfortable with.

You see, all successful people have one common factor: they purposefully step out of the confinements of their comfort zone so as to increase their self-confidence. In other words, do something they don’t like.

In step 4, under the sub-heading Inflate Your Comfort Zone to Reach Confidence, I wrote that for you to become confident and to attain more in life, you have to be prepared to step out and challenge your comfort zone; to dare yourself.

To get ahead in life, to follow through with your desires and dreams, increase your confidence by doing something you have not done before, or something you are uncomfortable with.

Start off by doing something simple. This is a sure way to acquire self-confidence. And what else? You will be overjoyed that you did that ‘something’. How cool is that?

Do you consider yourself to be a cool pretender? Where there times when you pretended to be something you’re not? Like at a fancy dress party or perhaps were you felt sad but pretended you happy?

I know in have.

If you can pretend you are something you are not, why not pretend you are confident when you aren’t? Doesn’t that make sense? Utilise your talent of acting.

At any time that you feel you lack self-confidence, just take in a deep breath or two and pretend you are confident.

There more you do this, the better you will get at it, and the more confident you will become.

How cool is that?
