Building your self confidence is a fundamental stage for creating loving and fulfilling relationships. Some powerful actions and habits to build your self confidence are:

1. Get to know yourself. That means taking a clear look at your strengths, so that you can build on them;
2. Accept that you can’t be confident all the time. There could be an area in your life, that you are not so confident. That is perfectly acceptable. Life has challenges and we learn through experiences. Laugh at yourself when things go wrong. It will help you regain your confidence.
3. Build your self-worth. Self-worth is what enables you to believe that you are capable of doing your best with your talents and that you deserve a fulfilling life. One way to build it, is with your love and support to other people.
4. Clear your mind of all kinds of thoughts and simply being present in the moment. Being present just for a few minutes every day, can bring a new sense of confidence and calmness into your life.
5. Start your goals with a positive attitude. Stop listening to the part of yourself that says you can’t do it. Move forward and get to action, whatever the difficulties are.
6. Surround yourself with positive people. How would you know they are positive? They are the ones that make you feel good.
7. Learn from experiences. Don’t be afraid to ask yourself. What do I learn from this experience or from this relationship? Next time, what can I do differently?
8. Feel good about your appearance. Appearance is crucial. Feeling good about yourself on the outside will help you feel good on the inside.
9. Exercise regularly and have a valuable nutrition; this is a great confidence booster. When you are feeling healthy, you feel happier about yourself and it will resonate.
10. Make firm decisions and sticking to them is a great confidence booster. Even if you make mistakes, you will feel more in control of your life.
11. Step out of your comfort zone. Only by doing one thing you are afraid of, you will realize how little reason you ever had to fear. The only way to build confidence and courage is by acting with it.
12. Use positive affirmations. Look in the mirror every day and say out loud “I like myself”.

I know, it takes some time and effort to establish self-confidence and that it does not come overnight. Start somewhere. Start by recognizing that you are a good person worthy of love and respect.
