How to boost confidence & my self-esteem ...?
i learned this from a self help book on NLP therapy. think of someone who you think is confident(can be famous people or not) imagine them standing in front of you and then imagine stepping into their body them you try to vividly imagine what it would feel like to be them and how they walk,talk,stand with their self confidence. if you actually feel it then you are it. it's not phony. the mental difference between you and them is that they have positive internal talk and you have negative critical self talk. i especially use it to be better at sports. i watch someone who is really good at what i want to be better at and do the above and i do get a mental feel for how to be better. i do other stuff too but this is one of my favorites. it's programming your mind for success instead of failure.
What are some ways to boost self confidence in your 40's?
I’m 46 so I have some ideas that I can give you that I use.Stay up to date with relevant information in several different areas of interest through things like podcasts, blogs, and documentaries. There is more information available to people than at any time in history and yet, so many people know so little about any one thing. Pick 3 topics and start learning! I currently listen to podcasts on business, leadership, and education every day. Sometimes in the shower, sometimes in the car, sometimes while I’m doing chores. In addition, I listen to science and technology podcasts as well, and try to throw in the arts at least once a week. You’ll be amazed at how you begin to think different after making this a habit.Read (or listen to!) books. Spend $10–20 on a book and read it. I especially like to read biographies of famous people to see what shaped them.Stay—or get—in shape! Start walking everyday if you’re not in good shape. Start adding core work. Possibly pick up a sport to play. When you’re out of shape, you don’t have as much energy, you tend to be in pain, you tend to have lower self-esteem, etc. But you can change that. Lift some weights. Just moderately is all that it takes. You’ll see a difference in less than three weeks.Start having conversations with people “above” you, meaning those in a position that you desire to be in yourself. This will give you insights into how to move up to that next level and could open some doors for you via stronger relationships with others.Start mentoring someone “below” you. They will appreciate your perspective and it will help them improve. You’ll have the added benefit of clarifying your thoughts and beliefs as you work with someone as well as feeling good about helping them.Stop eating garbage. This will help you accomplish all of the above!! Don’t get rid of everything all at once, but start with no garbage food on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays for two weeks. Then add Tuesdays for the next two weeks. Then add every other Friday for two weeks. Give yourself the weekends (either Friday/Saturday OR Saturday/Sunday) to eat without guilt and you’ll find success.These can all be done at any age of course, but sometimes people in their 40’s need that extra push!Good luck and go get ‘em!

Does sex sometimes boost your self confidence?
It could go both ways - it could be a confidence booster or a confidence-downer. It all depends on your relationship with the person you're having sex with and how they make you feel about yourself. If you do it with someone you don't really know or love, just to satisfy a temporary physical need, you'll more likely end up feeling empty and alone after it. It will be done and over with in this impersonal way that will leave you not feeling so satisfied. This would be a confidence-downer. If you do it with someone you love and are in a long-term relationship with, then it will be more beneficial. In a loving relationship, our partners work to and know how to make us feel good about ourselves, our bodies, and our capabilities. We obtain a lot from this sort of sexual relationship or making love. The emotional connection offers a consistency and a stream of happiness and confidence, as opposed to a temporary burst. This is a confidence booster. I hope this makes sense. =)
How do you boost your self confidence in a nervous situation?
Thanks for asking.This is exactly the situation where we need an idol or an entity or a centered belief on something which we seek for help from time to time. It could be GOD or Nature or Your own mind.But you need a developed belief that one of such metaphysical entity can help you, in most difficult, not easy to rationalize situations.All you need to do is - just remember to take a deep breath and let go, as you request - GOD / Nature or your Own Nature for help, as you humbly give into.So - never get into a nervous situation. Which surely can be avoided by careful planning and working. But if you have to, ensure you have a METAPHYSICAL entity to count on in extreme cases for relief.
What is the best way overcome shyness and boost self-confidence?
Been there, done that.I am going to tell you what has helped me. I was in a deep hole of self-hate, but now I am a totally normal person and love myself.Some points for you to think about:You have to stop thinking about yourself so much. Accept the fact that you are not special! You are like everybody else in the world. Get over yourself.If a person has low self-confidence, it’s because he has acted in the past in a way that made him feel stupid, clumsy, weird and now he believes that he must act the same way in the future. The good news is that it’s possible to train yourself to be more outgoing and confident. It’s your own choice.Accept the fact that the only person holding you back is you. You might have a feeling that people hate and judge you if you speak up, but that is not true. You must take responsibility for your own thoughts, feeling and actions. Nobody can have power over you! You own them!You are actually not shy. You may have a very powerful mind that creates a image of yourself as an extremely shy person, but it’s not real. The truth is that you are your actions and when you really want to, you can act confident. This means that you must take action. Start that conversation. Say hi to that nice girl. Smile to that stranger. There is no magic pill that you can take and now BOOM you’re confident. It’s just comes down to your actions.In conclusion:If you want to become confident, you must do things that you normally wouldn’t do. You will be suprised of how outgoing you can be!With this mindset I went to talk to the most handsome guys and they all loved me. I actually made them laugh! You just have to realize, that nobody else is thinking about you like you do about yourself. Relax and go talk to anybody you want to. Trust yourself. You can do it.This has helped me on my journey. I hope this will help you as well.Good luck.
What are the most efficient ways to boost up self-esteem in your opinion?
Most efficient ways to boost up self-esteem in my opinion are :Respect yourself before extending your thoughts and deeds to respect others. A person who never cared for self-respect can never respect others fullest and even though practiced it can’t sustain for many days.Learn a fact that Respecting mechanism (give and take respect) starts only by respecting yourself first. Many misunderstand the term “self-respect” to “self proud” where latter one is wrong when taken in negative sense.Self-respect makes a person to practice his personal values and seek solace if that values help him to respect others in matured way rather than a sacrificial manner.(Accept it as a drill to practice your personal values)Self-respecting means to you have niche (suitable position/role in life) than working tirelessly for others, putting your values down at the cost of respecting others for your need or any granted custom to do it. (Understand it’s a way to gift yourself a role/position in life)Person who care for self-respect can face and handle any situation where there is an attempt to degrade his image both physically and mentally.(It makes you strong from inside if you hear its voice)Point to be noted that ‘self-respect’is shield to protect yourself from entering into a zone or ground where you may not work or live putting your principles or ethics at bay or stand comprising.(It acts as a wall to protect you from demeaning yourself).Thank you !!!
