]]> Today, we will continue on the path of understanding the difference between self-esteem and self-confidence. If you missed Part 1, you can read it here and catch up.

Self-confidence is the belief you have in your own abilities to do something and your judgment. Can I write a 20 page paper on American history in 2 hours? Can I learn this computer program and teach it to someone else? Your self-confidence increases the more experience you have and the more willing you are to try new activities.

There is low self-confidence and high self-confidence, just like the self-esteem category. Low self-confidence means that you don’t trust yourself enough to do something maybe that you’ve never done before. You don’t believe you are capable or you lack the knowledge you think you need in order to proceed. Here are some examples:

  • You don’t sign up for an amazing promotion at work even though you know you are more than qualified for the position.
  • You don’t ask someone out on a date because you don’t know what to say.
  • You don’t sign up for a new class because you don’t believe you are capable of learning anything new.

High self-confidence on the other hand opens the world to you. It allows you to fear nothing and try anything. When you’re in this state, your ability to move forward in life multiplies tremendously. Without hesitations or doubt to slow you down, the world literally becomes your playground.

Here are some examples:

  • You interact in a sensitive discussion without fear of criticism.
  • You make decisions or take chances even when you know you may fail.
  • You apply for a new job that you are not completely qualified for but you are willing to learn new skills to further your career.
Tips to increase your Self-Confidence:
  1. Participate in activities that ignite your passion and expose you to new ideas.
  2. Give compliments. It’s a great conversation starter.
  3. Surround yourself with confident people. It’s the best way to learn the skill itself.

Now that we’ve explored the difference between self-esteem and self-confidence, how do you feel? Hopefully a little more aware and ready to tackle each of the areas of your life with better self-esteem and more confidence! The important step now is to continue on your journey of self discovery and to always make sure to give yourself lots of credit along the way!
Love and Blessings,

Coach Dina Blas

]]> Your answer should be, “No, please sit down. I’d love for you to stay a while.”  🙂

But alas, we have turned down confidence one too many times for us to count. We’ve let her get away from us because we chose instead to listen to her evil step-sisters “Negativity” and “Self-Doubt”.  We’ve let them move in and tell us what to do and how to feel. They’ve set up residency and signed the lease! And guess what, we’re miserable!!! 🙁

Well, leases were meant to be broken and today is that day! Turn those vagrants out and welcome home a new resident. One who will keep what’s working and will continue to raise your legitimate sisters “Self-esteem” and “Pride”. She’ll always put a smile on your face and a pep in your step as you walk down the street. Confidence will attract suitors from all over and get you that job you’ve always wanted. She’ll let you take risks and not worry about the outcome. She’ll even make you believe in yourself because you really are one terrific person!

Confidence is not something you can buy or earn. It’s a state of mind. If you want to be confident, then be confident. Remember, no ones knows that you aren’t or never were. And you can start right now in this very minute. Here are some quick tips:

1) Pull back your shoulders, smile and walk tall like you belong! Appearances are everything!

2) Compliment other people authentically/honestly. Be a conversation starter and the rest will be history.

3) Work out and/or eat healthier. You’ll feel better about yourself and it will show!

4) Volunteer and put others first. Helping those in need will be satisfying to your soul and a great place to meet people you relate to.

5) Build on your strengths. Know what they are and make them even better. Do what you love and you won’t be able to stop smiling. 🙂

Now go forth, change yourself and change the world!

Love and Blessings,

Coach Dina Blas
