Self Talk Strong - Confidence and Building a Strong Sense of Self The Guidelines Podcast: The Sidelines of Life

    • Self-Improvement

Confidence comes from feeling in control of yourself, having certain skills so you feel capable of doing things and your social interactions.

Parents, you must love yourself before you can teach your child to love/show up for itself. You can model this behaviour by rewarding and praising yourself when you do well or keep following your practises and that you are celebrating yourself and successes so the child can do the same.

When we are not assertive we can suffer from a loss of confidence and self- esteem as we aren’t getting what we need which is more likely to make us less successful in the future also. It is therefore important to break this cycle and learn to be more assertive.

Those with low self-esteem or self- confidence may invite others to treat them poorly. Being assertive can help us feel better about ourselves by setting clear boundaries as it means expressing ourselves clearly and standing up for what we believe in or like to do which in return makes others feel like they can trust us as we are open & reasonable by saying things as they are without offending other people’s views or feelings.
