For many people, self-confidence is challenging to come by and hard to build. Thankfully, there are things you can do in your everyday life that boost that feeling. Here are eight habits that skyrocket your self-confidence.

CONTRIBUTING AND VOLUNTEERING

For many people, a sense of self-confidence is tied into feelings of self-worth. Though there are many ways you can raise your self-worth, one of the best and healthiest ways to do so is by performing acts of kindness.

MAINTAINING GOOD POSTURE

Have you ever noticed that people who have their backs straight, shoulders pushed back and down, chest puffed, and head straight look more confident? It’s not just a random impression – it’s because they genuinely are more confident.

POSITIVE SLEEP ROUTINES

Getting enough sleep allows you to feel rested and alert the next day. You’ll make fewer mistakes, perform better in all areas of chores and work, and have a clearer head with more positive thinking in general. Your routines should give you the right conditions to benefit from REM or the deep sleep cycle. This sleep phase is highly restorative and will make you feel much better when you wake up the next day. Sometimes, if you feel especially low in confidence, a good night’s rest is all you need to perk up again!

EXERCISING

Exercising is often over-hyped as the one right way to solve all problems. While it isn’t a miracle cure, it’s also scientifically proven to have its fair share of benefits.

BEING PREPARED

Some people believe that being unprepared is a sign of confidence. They think that coming in with nothing and showing off how well they can improvise proves just how much confidence they have. It’s an appealing idea, but it’s also not one that’s recommended, especially if you want to improve your self-esteem.

CELEBRATING DIFFERENCES

A lot of times, your differences could be what make you dislike yourself. You compare yourself to others, see where you don’t meet arbitrary standards you’ve set in your head based on others, and then hide what you perceive as your “flaws.”

SOCIALIZING

There are endless jokes about how introverted people hate socializing or how social activities are scary to the average person. But if you continue to perpetuate the idea that you shouldn’t socialize, all you’re doing ruin your self-confidence even more.

MEDITATING

Meditation is often ridiculed for being some weird form of spiritualist habit, but it’s scientifically proven to have positive results on your mind, body, and confidence. It can reduce anxiety, stress, and more by merely lowering resting heart rate and blood pressure.
