Appreciating yourself Lesson 2: Building Self Confidence

"Feeling self-confident helps you believe that you can try new things. Even if things go wrong, self-confidence helps you know that you can try to make them better. You can increase your self-confidence by setting goals that make sense, thinking positively, and being prepared. Here are some tips to increase your self-confidence: • Stop comparing: Your abilities and talents are unique and special. Everyone has different goals in life and ways of thinking about what success means. Decide what success means for you. Try not to worry about what success means for your neighbor. • Remember your good deeds: Think about the times when you have made a difference in someone else’s life. Give yourself credit for the good things you do for others every day. • Forgive yourself and learn from your mistakes: Everyone makes mistakes from time to time. Learn from what went wrong, but don’t dwell on it."
