Believe it to be true or not, some of the most renowned folks you see are introverts. How did they use their introversion to their advantage and attain success in an industry that seems geared toward loud, outgoing folks?
Here are four simple steps that can be helpful.
1. Confirmation.
The most important thing is to win the fight of attitude. Affirmation are just positive things that you say out loud to yourself each day. This can be extraordinarily hard at times because you may not really believe what you are saying. So why would you say something to yourself that you don't believe? Raised confidence to step out has to begin with you. Therefore if you are shy and threatened by folks, begin to say something similar to the following: "I am NOT shy and I am Really not threatened by folks. I'm Extremely confident when I get around people."
Repeat this to yourself out loud at least 10 times before you leave your room. When you assert this, don't just mumble it either, say it as many times as required until you say it with fervour and conviction.
2. Read to grow.
Again, heightened confidence starts with you. Read something everyday for a minimum of 30 minutes that may help you increase your self image. This is an article, a book, or an audio series. The more that you learn the more that you will grow. The more that you grow, the more your self-confidence will improve.
3. Take action each day.
Do something every day, starting with something tiny, that at once deals with your low self-confidence. For instance, if you are unable to talk with folk because you feel insecure and inferior, just start off by saying 'Hi'. As you get more comfy with this, then start to make chitchat. You may begin to feel more assured and more confident until one day, you will find that you have overcome low self confidence in that area.
4. Stop the destructive thoughts.
Unproductive thoughts are like land mines. As quickly as you step out to face your fear, an unproductive thought comes and tells you that you can't do it and BOOM; you believe it and lose that round. As an alternative diffuse unproductive thoughts before they've a opportunity to do damage.
A great way to do this is with an elastic band! Put a rubber band around your wrist. Each time a thought comes into your head that tells you that you can't do something, you will never succeed, or anything negative, SNAP the rubber band on your wrist.
You could be snapping that band till your wrist is red and sore. Before long though, you'll stop the destructive feelings because you don't want to harm your wrist any longer.
These steps will help you boost your self image and become more confident stepping out. Just remember this: you aren't going to switch over night. It will take some time but as long as you are progressing, you are on the way to success.
