1. Power Posing
Social psychologist Amy Cuddy shows how “power posing” – standing in a posture of confidence, even when we don’t feel confident can make us appear more confident to others and feel more confident within. Standing with your hands on your hips with open body language and your head held high instantly affects our testosterone levels and the cortisol levels in our brains.
2. Working out
Working out gives you a sense of accomplishment and is a refreshing way to feel a sense of pride, when you push your boundaries in this way you remind yourself of what you are capable of. It’s believed that exercise increases happiness by releasing endorphins, which relieve stress, reduced stress will help you feel more at ease and confident.
3. Thinking Confident
We’ve all heard the phrase fake it till you make it – to some degree this is true. We see and know how confident people speak and behave, adopt their way of thinking and believe that you too can do anything – make your voice clearer and louder and show that what you have to say is just as important as anyone else!
