Comment pouvez-vous obtenir du soutien pour atteindre vos objectifs de confiance?

Practice self-acceptance and self-compassion. As someone who used to be overly self-critical, learning to accept myself as I am and treat myself with kindness has been transformative for my confidence.

Start by believing in yourself. Recognize those awesome strengths you've got and give yourself a high-five for every achievement, big or small. And hey, don't forget to set those realistic goals and track your progress. You've got this! You're the captain of your own ship, the hero of your story. Trust in yourself, because deep down, you know you've got what it takes to shine bright. You're not just a part of this confidence journey; you're leading the pack. So, go ahead, own it!

Building your confidence first starts with believing in yourself. This starts with acceptance - the foundation of self-love, compassion, and confidence. When you accept exactly where you are, it helps you understand what steps are ahead for you to grow and expand. Be sure to take care of your body (proper nutrition, sleep, exercise). Adopting a journaling practice is an excellent way to help evaluate your own strengths and abilities.

A great way to increase your confidence is to remember a time you felt really confident. It could’ve been a time you remember doing really well at school. A sport you excelled at, a hobby you really loved and were great at. Close your eyes and remember how it felt when you were really enjoying doing that thing. Notice how confidence feels for you , the physical sensations that you get and the emotions you experience. Practice connecting with this feeling as often you can.

By believing in your abilities and recognizing your accomplishments, you lay a solid foundation for self-assurance. Setting clear goals, tracking your progress, and celebrating milestones along the way can provide a sense of accomplishment and motivation. Ultimately, embracing yourself as your greatest supporter empowers you to navigate challenges and pursue your aspirations with resilience and determination.

Network and environment is everything when building back confidence. Surround yourself with people that believe in you, the authentic you. Don't squeeze yourself to fit in, as this will only erode your confidence further. Seek role models that demonstrate the values that are important to you, aligning with them will only boost your confidence and provide inspiration for moving forwards.

One thing I found helpful is seeking and sticking with people who aim higher. People who work hard to accomplish their goals.

There are plenty of opportunities for you to support peers in networking groups. This will lead to forging stronger connections and becoming an integral part of a supportive community where everyone collaborates and helps one another.

It's always great to work with a mentor, as they have already walked the path that you're about to travel on. Be sure to be respectful of your mentors, and acknowledge them and let them know you appreciate them for your time.

Mentors can support you and help you grow your confidence. They have likely have experienced what you are going through so they can be a key element in your confidence building.

Therapists and coaches can boost your confidence. Take the first step by reaching out to them. They provide a safe space to explore your thoughts and feelings, offering valuable insights and coping strategies for personal growth.

Coaching is a great way to identify and overcome confidence "gremlins". Sometimes these are so deeply embedded in the scripts that are playing over and over in your mind/in your day to day activities and thoughts. You may not even recognise this. Coaching provides a space to unearth, acknowledge and challenge this thinking. There will always be assumptions that are no longer serving you at the stage you are at. Coaching can help you take a step back, a breather, re-write things that are no longer serving you.

Everyone could use a little bit of support, and that's okay! How can you accept that support with a bit of grace? Rather than rejecting the support or thinking that it means that you're not good enough, understand that none of us can do it all, and it's a great way to bond with others.

Most people are willing to help. You do not need to be embarrassed to reach out. At some point, the people who are supporting you have been in your shoes. Accept their help with grace and be appreciative.

Helping others makes you feel more sure of yourself. When you know you're doing good and supporting those around you, you'll experience a sense of fulfillment and confidence in your abilities.

During my career I have had some fabulous "cheerleaders" - people grabbing a cup of coffee with you when you are struggling , reminding you of what you can achieve and what is possible. Being able to reciprocate is an amazing thing, its powerful and reminds you that we are all human and everyone needs a gentle helping hand and some positive energy to propel them forwards!

You can get support for your confidence goals by reaching out to friends, family, or mentors who can offer encouragement and guidance. Professional coaching can provide valuable resources and accountability to help you stay motivated and focused on your goals. Remember, you don't have to do it all by yourself.

Confidence coaching can be very beneficial to get support on your confidence goals. There are tailored coaching programs available that identify your key struggles and help you shift your mindset so you are able to tackle them with ease. A confidence coach helps you uncover the root of your self-doubt – imposter syndrome, fear of failure, inner critique and limiting beliefs which are the major contributors of lack of confidence. That is because they create unresourceful patterns in you that are difficult to identify on your own. Confidence coaching helps you break through the cycle and identify new, healthier mindset shifts that contribute towards high confidence.

Confidence erosion can be a subtle and gradual process that ebb's and flow's during a career/lifetime. I believe its always there, it can just be hidden under a few layers of dust sometimes. It needs patience, a good foundation of health, a will to shine again and surrounding yourself with people that believe in you. Gradually, it can emerge again, often shining brighter than ever!
