How do you get more confident?
Life is often difficult for people with little self-esteem or self-esteem. If you want to increase your self-esteem, it is often not as difficult as you might think at first. The following tips reveal ways in which you can gain more self-confidence and self-esteem.
Self-awareness means being aware of yourself
- if you more self-consciousness then you should make yourself aware of who you are, what good qualities you have and what you have already achieved in life.
- Often times, experiences in which one felt bad or did not achieve something are very present years later. In contrast, the positive experiences often just seem to somehow "slip under the table" in the memory. So use your résumé to make yourself aware of the events where you achieved something important and felt really good. These can also be events that are far back in childhood. You must have managed to ride a bike at some point...
- Then choose the most beautiful or the most important event to you and put yourself in the situation as you felt it back then with all your senses.
- Ask yourself: How exactly was this situation? What was there to see? What was there to hear? Where was that good feeling in body? Relive this past situation exactly as if you could relive it.
- You can do this with other situations that you have experienced in the past and in which you felt good and were aware of yourself. You can also plan this as a small exercise in the daily routine and thus increase your self-confidence a little day after day. Sometimes you get more self-esteem just by thinking more often about the good situations in life.

Influence self-esteem in a positive way
- Often we are masters at really dealing with negative inner sentences. If you also often say sentences to yourself such as B: Apart from me everyone can do it, or: I can't do it after all, or: I never really do anything right, then these sentences can gain real power over you. At some point you don't dare to do anything anymore.
- Just start questioning these sentences. Because they often contain strong generalizations that do not apply. Have you really never done anything really right? You will certainly come up with examples where this sentence is incorrect.
- You can also try rephrasing inner sentences. From the sentence "I find it so difficult to make quick decisions", for example, B. also the sentence: "I first weigh carefully before I decide on something." With it you can change the negative image you have of yourself sentence by sentence.
Gaining self-esteem one step at a time is not always an easy path. But it is worth it, because the image that you have of yourself also influences the image that others have of you.
