Be Confident!

Have you ever noticed that you can spot a confident person from across the room? You don’t even have to speak to them to know they feel good about themselves! A confident person:
  • Holds her head high
  • Stands up tall with her shoulders back
  • Looks people in the eye
Even when you don’t feel confident, practicing confident body language will help you make a good impression. You might even find that you feel more confident, too! What makes you feel confident?

3 things

what makes me cofident is look at the clock in the back of the room, look at the pic of Jesus in the room, or i just look at 1 person and pretend that im just talking 2 them when im talking infront of a crowd.

Clowns

When I talk in front of a crowd, what makes me feel confident? I imagine that all the people are dressed like clowns so I don’t have to worry to speak in front of clowns. I even like it when somebody encourages me.

If you are finding that you

If you are finding that you lack the confidence to be yourself, you’re in luck because there are several easy ways to become confident in your own skin. Easy way #1: participate in sports and activities that you enjoy and feel that you have talent in. By doing this you can feel good about yourself and your accomplishments. If you feel that you have no real talents then maybe try some new out of school activities, not only will you meet new people but you might even find something that your really good at. Easy Way #2: hold your head high! By having a confident posture you can avoid being bullied, or pressured into doing or saying something that just isn’t you. Mean girls don’t pick on people who walk down the halls with their backs straight and heads held high! Easy way #3: embrace the positive aspects of yourself. Instead of straightening your curls use enhancing curl products for a better more controlled curl. Instead of hiding your freckles, flaunt them. The first step to being comfortable with the skin your in is to be confident in the way you look…naturally. The most important thing to remember is to surround yourself with loving, understanding people who love you for who you are. If you find that your group of friends tend to lower your confidence, then it’s time to find yourself a new set of friends.

Sometimes it’s hard to stay

Sometimes it’s hard to stay confident in the person that you are…and at some point in every-body’s life there is a struggle to hold on to their sense of identity. The best way to look at it is: if you want to do something…do it, don’t not do something because you’re afraid of what people might think. Don’t not say something because your afraid of what people might say. Most importantly, don’t do something or say something just because it is considered “cool”. If somebody can’t accept you for who you are, than there is no point in being accepted. Your friends should love you for who you are and you shouldn’t have to act like a different person in order to be liked. Don’t let anyone tell you you’re not worth it, or not pretty enough, because true beauty comes from the inside…from confidence and kindness. Beauty isn’t perfect skin, straight shiny hair or blue eyes, beauty is believing that you are beautiful and being yourself. If you are finding that you lack the confidence to be yourself, you’re in luck because there are several easy ways to become confident in your own skin. Easy way #1: participate in sports and activities that you enjoy and feel that you have talent in. By doing this you can feel good about yourself and your accomplishments. If you feel that you have no real talents then maybe try some new out of school activities, not only will you meet new people but you might even find something that your really good at.

My Confidence...

I always feel confident when I’m with my best bud. She always has my back and would be there for me. She knows me perfectly and would do anything for me. As would I with her. <:)> (That’s a smiley Yoda if ya didn’t know. My BFF taught it to me!)

Confidence

Anticipation is always the worst! Like when I’m getting my blood drawn or singing or going to piano lessons! I get all nervous, believe in the worst possible thing that could happen, and then once it happens, it’s over and most of the time (except blood drawn, of course) it may actually be enjoyable. I sometimes have to tell myself that nothing bad is going to happen and that the world is not out to get me. ;)

Acting

I like to act to when I get the part in plays I always feel confident, but then the day of the play I get nerve again, but then when I start to act my nerves just disapear. Same thing when I’m swimming in a race, before the race I get all nerve but once I’m in the water my nerves disapear. I guess the hardest part of something is before it even starts.

Remembered Tips

I love these tips! I remember reading these in the magazine, and I have tried my best to stick by them. So far, I am doing pretty well. Confidence is something I only had a little bit of, but now, I know I can do anything! :D

to be or not to be

To be or not to be that is the question. In this case to be is DEFIANTLY the answer. You need to be confident! a good way to be confident is doing things you enjoy! I also feel confident when i’m with my friends.
