1. WHEN IN DOUBT, ACT!- after 100 of studies and interviews, nothing builds confidence like taking action, especially when the action involves risk and failure. I want to be completely honest when I say that it is never going to feel right, when you are in a social setting and you are asked to speak it is never easy. Furthermore, when you feel like raising your hand and speaking up do not let your fears stop you, because it is at that moment that you move one step closer to mastering your emotions.
2. VISUALIZE SUCCESS- when we think of what could go wrong we emotionalize that event and our body follows. You must envision yourself having a great time and being exactly the way you want it to be (only humans can do this). I think back on my experience when I have gone out to night clubs part of my routine before I walk in is to listen to a song that I really like in the car, and while the song is playing I close my eyes and visualize my self having a great time, I see people approaching me and being friendly. This is a technique that most athletes use before they go out into the field. It has been proven to work.
3. Kill the negative talk- cant shut it off completely, but you can wrestle them down with logic and alternatives. When your mind start to say negative thing you should yell STOP! And then ask your self a rational question like is what I’m thinking about real or not? Also you can just say something positive to yourself instead. Very powerful way to shut off that little voice inside of your head.
4. Repeat, repeat, repeats- Confidence is a skill, and skills are only developed through practice and repetition. You must practice being social every single day, say hello to everyone you come in contact with and have conversations with as many people as possible. So that little by little you begin to develop more self-confidence.
5. Praise progress- Anytime you do something social or say hi to someone give your self pa complement. Tell yourself positive things every time you do something social. You must become your biggest cheerleader, even if that sounds funny now, it is very powerful.
