3 Methods of Creating Confidence

     Confidence is created through personal development, believing in oneself and being open to change.  Many people suffer from a lack of confidence every day.  If we all were more confident in ourselves, we would be less offended by everything, feel better about ourselves and our abilities, and live a happier, more fulfilling life.  We all should strive to become more confident and find new ways to continuously do so.  To help you get started, here are three methods of creating confidence.
1. New Experiences
     Confidence comes from having new experiences.  More experiences equal more confidence.  This is because we become more of the person we want to be rather than who we wish to be.  We learn from each experience and use it to better our lives.  For example, someone who has never been to the gym before, but decided to start a routine where they did, is doing so to become healthier.  They not only experience going to the gym for the first time but learn different workouts, see new people, and create a routine.  So, they not only become more confident in going to the gym but also meeting new people, being organized, and becoming healthier.  Another example is traveling.  Those who travel experience new people, places, and cultures.  They can use the knowledge acquired to better there personal and professional lives alike.
2. Sharing Opinions
     People are afraid to share their opinion.  For one, those who are afraid believe their opinions do not matter.  Second, they do not want to argue or create a problem between them and other people.  However, sharing one's opinion and sticking by it is how confidence is created.  Some people automatically assume they are wrong even if they are right.  That mindset needs to be eliminated for the sake of creating confidence.  Rather than being afraid to speak your mind, do so with the intention of believing in what you have to say.  Even if you end up being wrong, the ability to share one's opinion and explain why creates confidence by eliminating self-doubt and believing in oneself.  Nobody is perfect and not everyone can be right all of the time, but it is better than assuming you are wrong and constantly doubting yourself.
3. Self-Care
     Taking care of oneself is one of the best ways to feel confident.  Something so simple drastically affects a person's confidence.  When we look good, we feel good, and when we feel good, we are confident in ourselves and our abilities.  Some self-care methods include personal hygiene, dressing sharply, and exercising.  You will also feel more confident once other people begin noticing you are taking care of yourself.  People respect those who take care of themselves, believing they are in control of their own lives.

How Communication Can Repair & Strengthen Relationships

      Communication is the key to success in all aspects of life.  We often assume people know how we are feeling, but this is not the case.  Nobody truly understands how you are feeling unless you tell them.  To quote Eleanor Roosevelt, “You wouldn’t worry so much about what others think of you if you realize how seldom they do.”  The Importance of Communication      Without communication, we tend to overthink, overreact, and become emotional.   We lack answers so we make them up in our heads.   Small problems become big problems real quick, and we may lash out at the other person.   If you don’t know what’s going on in the other person’s head, how can you expect to understand their way of thinking?        When we communicate, we learn from the other person’s perspective.   Instead of using our own perception to justify something, we learn the real reason behind someone’s actions, ...

Life Advice Blog #21 - Relaxation

     Relaxation is just as important as working hard.  People tend to work themselves to the bone in order to achieve their goals.  Everyone needs to do this once in a while.  However, constantly working this way can lead to fatigue, ultimately leading to the person giving up on what they set out to do.  This is why there has to be a balance between hard work and relaxation.  Working hard all of the time will lead to failure due to fatigue.  Constantly relaxing leads to laziness, meaning nothing will be accomplished.  By balancing hard work and relaxation, a person is able to accomplish their goals while also maintaining the motivation to do so.      Nobody should think that relaxing is a waist of time.  Relaxing is the best way to regain the strength and motivation to work hard.  Without relaxation, success would be much more difficult to obtain, because people would lose the motivation to push forward....

Five Important Life Lessons to Live By

     Today, I thought I would do something a little different.  Instead of discussing one topic, I thought I would share some life lessons based on my experience.  These nuggets of wisdom have helped me progress through life with an open, confident, and positive attitude.  I hope you benefit from them as much as I have.  Here are five important lessons to live by. 1. Speak up for Yourself      Far too many live in silence due to the fear of conflicting ideologies.  Because of this, they end up putting themselves second to other people, agreeing with them, and/or allowing themselves to be pushed around.  People can and will take advantage, and it is saddening to know there are people who allow this to happen.  Everyone deserves to be heard.  Do not be afraid to defend yourself or your opinions when need be just because it conflicts with another person.  They are not better than you nor are their beliefs.  ...
