Confidence has been a tricky thing for me, especially when overthinking takes over. But I’ve learned a few unconventional tricks that work. Here’s what I do to keep my confidence up and my worries down.
1. Unlock Confidence Instantly with This One-Minute Mind Trick
Sometimes, I catch myself slouching or avoiding eye contact when I’m nervous. I’ve learned to stand up tall, shoulders back, and pretend I’m about to give a keynote speech.
I turn and face the person imagining my heart is a straight line to their heart.
It’s a quick shift, but it changes how I feel in seconds.
It’s like I’m telling my body, “We’ve got this.”
2. The Surprising Power Move That Silences Self-Doubt Fast
When I feel that little voice saying, “You’re not good enough,”
I say a power word in my head: “capable.”
I started doing this before difficult meetings or family situations. I’d whisper it like a secret weapon.
It stops self-doubt in its tracks and reminds me of what I bring to the table.
3. Forget Affirmations: This Weird Habit Boosts Self-Assurance
I’m not a big fan of affirmations.
They can feel fake.
So, I started writing small wins on sticky notes—like the time I navigated a tough conversation with my sister or nailed a workshop.
I stick them on my bathroom mirror.
It’s my wall of proof that I’m capable, even on days when I don’t feel it.
4. How Tiny Tweaks to Your Routine Change Everything
My mornings needed a shake-up, so I made tiny changes.
Instead of letting the day happen to me, I made my bed first thing, swapped TV for something upbeat, and took a different route on my walk.
These small actions remind me I have control over what I do and let into my space, and that’s where confidence starts.
5. Outsmart Fear with This Unconventional, Proven Confidence Hack
I’ve had my fair share of anxiety, and here’s what I’ve learned: naming my fear out loud makes it smaller.
Instead of letting it sit in my head, I say, “This is just fear talking.”
It sounds odd, but it takes the sting out and makes it easier to act anyway.
These aren’t magic fixes, but they’ve worked wonders for me.
Confidence isn’t about never feeling doubt—it’s about having a few tricks up your sleeve to quiet the noise.
Try these, tweak them, make them yours.
You’ve got this.
