We all need confidence to achieve our goals and go after those things we want. Yet many feel that this skill or quality belong to those who are born with it. Well, this is not true. The quality of being confident is teachable. Since we are humans and the survival gene is in all of us, there is no limitation to learning anything. Here are some hacks that can improve and deceive you to become more confident.

1. Get out of your comfort zone

Performing the same routine every day has a way of dulling our senses. But if we step out of our zones we are likely to expand in our thoughts. Learn to avoid getting trapped and keeping yourself in a comfort zone.

Interestingly we can expand our horizons by releasing ourselves from the cocoon of repeating the same process over and over again. There is a certain rush that overwhelms us when we try to do something that terrifies us, something different. However doing these things offers us a new perspective and improves our confidence when we try to accomplish them.

2. Work out, exercise and sweat it out

There is something about trying to stay fit and exercising, it gives your body the energy it needs and fills it with endorphins that improves your self-image. Attaining confidence isn’t only what exercising offers you, it’s also a productivity hack. Do a super-efficient work-out that allows you to sweat and release all the negative energy within you.

3. Bounce back from your failures

Many people are afraid of failing or making mistakes. But most times it is not failures that placate us, rather it is the ability not to bounce back from failures. While you may feel hesitant about giving an objective another shot, you should learn that bouncing from your failures is beneficial to your confidence.

4. Become overconfident

There is nothing wrong in faking it till you make it. According to a study , deceiving yourself by believing that you are extra confident will actually make you more confident. The deceit of acting confident when things are working against you actually puts you in a pole position to act accordingly. Learn to optimize your confidence by being in the right environment, and being around the right people. Some ways you can learn to boost your confidence is by joining a support group or associating with individuals who are confident.

5. Get plenty of rest

Eating right and getting enough sleep helps to improve your mood and effectiveness. Having enough rest comforts you and prepares you for situations that can be discomforting. By simply scheduling, prioritizing and valuing what matters, it puts you in a position to be more confident and less anxious.

6. Do not reveal your goals to anyone.

According to a study, people who revealed their goal to someone actually reduced their motivation to accomplish such goals. The best approach is to keep your goals a secret and wait for the actual success of reaching these goals. By meeting with your objectives you naturally build more confidence. Don’t push yourself too hard, rather focus on the strategies and work that requires to get it done. You don’t need to make yourself accountable for anyone or put pressure on yourself, rather build your confidence by staying focused and keeping your goals as a secret.

7. Improve your posture

How you walk and face up to the world can affect your confidence. Rather than slouch, sit up straight. Rather than fold your arms, open them up. how we express ourselves with a non-verbal action can determine how we think and feel about ourselves. Such impressions on our mind can be altered if we start walking the walk and talking the talk. Some power posing for a few minutes before a high-anxiety situation can do well to alleviate your confidence.
