Self-confidence is a psychological tendency to believe that you have the ability to achieve your goals, a powerful driving force to promote people's activities and a powerful guarantee for people to complete their activities. It is a healthy mental state.
2. Self-confidence is the guarantee of success
American educator Dale Canel pointed out after investigating the experiences of many celebrities: "Knowledge and professional skills only account for 15%, while good psychological quality accounts for 85%." Self-confidence is the guarantee of success, and it is an emotion to believe that you have the strength to overcome difficulties and realize certain wishes.
Confident people can evaluate their knowledge and ability correctly and realistically, accept the correct opinions of others with an open mind, and have full confidence in their own career.
3. Self-confidence is the guarantee to bear setbacks and overcome difficulties.
Self-confidence is an inner spiritual strength, which can inspire people to overcome difficulties and make continuous progress. Gorky pointed out: "Only people with confidence can immerse themselves in life anywhere and realize their ideals." The most important thing to overcome adversity is to establish firm confidence. Self-confidence can make people despise difficulties, overcome evil and concentrate all their wisdom and energy on meeting various challenges.
4. Reduce fear and anxiety.
The more confident you are, the more you can calm your inner voice, the more you can get rid of excessive worries and take active and effective actions. If you lack self-confidence, it may be easy to think of worries about the result and possible mistakes. Overthinking is related to anxiety and depression, which will make you bear more pressure, and as a result, it will hinder your action. On the contrary, if you are confident, you can break the cycle of overthinking and calm your inner anxiety.
5. greater motivation.
If you have ever learned a language, mastered a skill, achieved a fitness goal, or overcome a setback and achieved the goal you want to achieve, then you have begun to build self-confidence. With the growth of self-confidence, you will find yourself more motivated to expand other abilities. "What if I fail?" "What if I embarrass myself?" As long as you have confidence, these ideas will not appear. Because you will pursue your goal with a smile, your self-confidence will be your most powerful motivation.
6. Better ability to resist setbacks
Self-confidence will give you skills and methods to deal with setbacks and failures. Doesn't mean you won't fail. But you will know that you can meet the challenge and will not be overwhelmed by it. Even if things don't go as you planned, you won't be hit by it. When you keep pushing yourself to try new things, you will begin to really understand how failures and mistakes help you grow.
