I have just finished writing an ebook titled "40 Ways To Increase Your Confidence Right Now" and feel it would be appropriate to give you an insight.
For the next few weeks, I will share one of the ways for you to increase your confidence immediately...
This week's focus on
improving your confidence right now is:
We all possess skills and knowledge that others around us do not have. All you have to do is find those poeple and offer your skills/knowledge to them.
What are you good at?
>> Are you good with kids?
>> Are you good at changing nappies?
>> Are you good at cleaning or ironing?
>> Are you good with pets?
>> Are you good with cars?
>> Are you good with gardening or landscaping?
>> Are you good with computers, the Internet or emails?
>> Are you good at finding bargains?
>> Are you good at foreign languages?
>> Are you good at cooking?
Whatever it is you are good at, find someone who is not good at those areas. Simply offer to help or show/explain how to do it.
When I say "offer" your help...
>> Do not tell them they need your help (maybe they want to try and do it or learn it by themselves)
>> Do not go in there with the attitudue "Look at me, aren't I great for knowing this" (that puts people off more than anything else)
>> Do not tell them they are silly, stupid or the like for not knowing. After all, they also have skills you don't have (this kind of attitude greatly affects the person's self esteem and confidence - I'm sure you have experienced this feeling before)
>> Simply offer help and explain what you are doing.
For you it's a piece of cake, but for them it's not, so be patient and enjoy helping. You will get so much praise. They will thank you a million times and will even say things like, "You are so smart" or "How did you do that?".
It's amazing. This alone will skyrocket your confidence, and of course you can do this every day if you like!
Until next week's tip, enjoy helping poeple with your skills and knowledge. Your confidence will find a new high this week. Oh and feel free to leave some comments updating me and other readers of your progress.
