10 things that can affect your confidence positively

Some weeks ago I wrote on “The Ten things that can affect your confidence negatively”, it is only fitting to write on the positives as well. The importance of your confidence cannot be overemphasised as it is directly connected to how successful you will be.
The essence of the knowledge of the negatives is so we can avoid them, while we ensure the presence of the positives in our daily living for optimal results.
Let’s go through the Ten things that are guaranteed to boost our confidence:

1. Integrity: This is the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles, a good character and rectitude. Integrity makes you honourable, honour in itself will open up hearts for you even before you knock and will have people smiling already in anticipation of whatever you have to say even before your mouth is opened to say it. There is nothing more rewarding in life than being referred to as a man or woman of integrity. This is definitely a confidence booster; when your words are right in the ears of those that hear you.

2. A good attitude: A good attitude is like perfume, it makes you smell nice and attractive too. Nobody is repelled around you, rather they want you on their side unlike a bad attitude which is like body odour, everyone will avoid you without necessarily telling you why.

3. Knowledge: There is nothing more sexy and appealing than one who knows well what they talk about and what they do. Knowledge actually does set you apart. It’s a great confidence booster because you know you are ready. The absence of anxiety or fear due to inadequate knowledge of a subject matter you are dealing on does wonders to your confidence level, so by all means, read, learn and research all current information available in relation to your field of endeavour or the project you have at hand.

4. Excellence: This is a quality that is non negotiable. Your finesse is a great confidence booster. That extra touch should be your signature. Your finishing should be perfection, it makes all the difference in your heart when you’ve gone over and beyond to deliver.

5. Appearance: it is said that the way you dress is the way you will be addressed. A good appearance is the basic foundation of confidence. It is good to be clean and look your best at all times. You won’t need to be conscious of how you’re looking, that happens more when we are not adequately dressed. Dress well and be comfortable too. Discomfort can mess up your appearance.

6. Sound emotions: Always keep your feelings filtered, mixed emotions can make you confused and lose focus and that can make you break down and even disoriented. When you keep your emotions in check, you are doing your confidence a great favour.

7. Healthy support system: You are only as good and healthy as those with whom you hang around. Check your company.

8. Money: Money in the pocket and in the bank will make you feel good any day. There is a level of confidence that just comes naturally when you are sure you can afford a meal or two before entering that restaurant, you won’t be sweating while looking at the menu and prices. Financial comfort is no doubt a great confidence booster, so by all good means work and make some money for yourself.

9. Results: Everyone is happy when they achieve. It’s a great feeling when your hard work pays off. Having results is a great confidence booster, it gives you the confidence to take the next big step.

10. Commendation: This actually works on all of us. A little “good Job” “well done” “you did great” can affect and boost the morale of any normal human being. Take time out this week and commend somebody who you think is doing a great job and you’ll see the positive reaction and feedback you get. Commendation works better than condemnation any day any time!
