Top 6 Tricks to Boost Your Confidence
“Low self-esteem is like driving through life with your hand brake on.” – Maxwell Maltz.
In the fast-paced lifestyle routine of today, it’s easy to get caught up with things, neglect oneself, and end up on the receiving-end of a confidence drop. But while it can be daunting, embracing a self-confidence boost can do the world of good, and even the smallest of changes can have a huge change in your mindset. Check out these simple yet effective confidence tips:
Get Started!
It doesn’t need to be perfect. Just be bold and go for it! When you take that first step towards your goal you achieve success that will build even more confidence which encourages you to continue striving towards what you ultimately want.
Grooming
This seems like such an obvious one, but it’s amazing how much of a difference a blow dry and some lipgloss can make in your feelings of self-confidence and for your self-image. Dress to kill. You’ll feel successful and presentable and ready to tackle the world.

Spritz on a Fragrance.
Your favorite fragrance does more than make you smell oh-so-nice. As it turns out, it can make you confident, too. A study found that 90% of women feel more confident while wearing a scent than those who go fragrance free.
Think Positive
Studies show most of your self talk (77%) is negative. ‘Cheerleading’ yourself at times when you need to build your confidence can be really helpful. Pick a few phrases that will make you feel good inside. At Facebook’s headquarters, there are posters that read, “What would you do if you weren’t afraid?”
Stand up straight
It is true that changing your posture, smiling or even making eye contact can instantly make you feel and look more confident. Keep your back straight and your chin raised slightly. Not only will this make you look more confident, but you’ll feel more in control, too.
