Believe it to be true or not, some of the most prosperous people you see are introverts. How did they use their introversion to their advantage and become successful in an industry that seems aimed toward loud, outgoing folks?
Here are 4 straightforward steps that can be helpful.
1. Affirmation.
The most vital thing is to win the battle of attitude. Affirmation are just positive things that you assert aloud to oneself each day. This is very hard on occasions because you may not actually believe what you are claiming. So why would you say something to yourself that you don't believe? Heightened confidence to step out has to start with you. Therefore if you are shy and threatened by folk, start to say something like the following: "I am NOT shy and I am Not intimidated by folks. I'm Very confident when I am getting around people."
Repeat this to oneself out loud at least 10 times before you leave your room. When you assert this, don't simply mumble it either, say it as many times as necessary until you are saying it with eagerness and conviction.
2. Read to grow.
Again, heightened confidence starts with you. Read something everyday for a minimum of 30 minutes that will help you increase your self-image. This can be an article, a book, or an audio series. The more you learn the more you will grow. The more that you grow, the more your self-esteem will improve.
3. Do something each day.
Do something each day, beginning with something little, that immediately deals with your low self-confidence. For instance, if you can't talk with folk as you feel unsure and inferior, just start by saying 'Hi'. As you get more content with this, then begin to make chit-chat. You may start to feel more confident and more assured till one day, you'll find that you have overcome low self confidence in that area.
4. Stop the destructive feelings.
Unproductive thoughts are like land mines. As fast as you step out to face your fear, a destructive thought comes and tells you that you can't do it and BOOM; you believe it and lose that round. As an alternative diffuse destructive thoughts before they've a chance to do damage.
A great way to do this is with an elastic band! Put an elastic band around your wrist. Every time a thought comes into your head that tells you that you can't do something, you will never succeed, or anything negative, SNAP the elastic tie on your wrist.
You could be snapping that band till your wrist is red and sore. Before long though, you'll stop the destructive feelings because you do not want to hurt your wrist anymore.
These steps will help you increase your self-esteem and get more confident stepping out. Just remember this: you aren't going to switch over night. It'll take a little time but as long as you are progressing, you are on the way to success.
