As someone who has struggled with confidence in the past, I know how challenging it can be to believe in yourself and your capabilities. But, after years of discovering my confidence, I know it’s possible to feel better. After fighting through self-doubt and insecurity, I was able to turn things around with these five steps.

Here are five confidence hacks for more confidence today:

1) Practice self-care.

Taking care of your physical and emotional well-being is essential for building confidence. Make sure you're getting enough sleep, eating well, and exercising regularly. Also, make time for activities that make you feel good, such as reading, meditating, or spending time with loved ones.

2) Set small goals and celebrate your successes.

One of the best ways to boost confidence is to set small, achievable goals and then celebrate when you reach them. This can be as simple as setting a goal to make your bed every morning or to read a book this week. Whatever your goals may be, make sure to reward yourself when you accomplish them.

3) Surround yourself with positive people.

The people you surround yourself with can have a big impact on your confidence. Make sure you're spending time with people who are supportive, encouraging, and positive. If you find yourself in negative or toxic environments, try to remove yourself from those situations as much as possible.

4) Speak positively to yourself.

The things you say to yourself can have a big impact on your confidence. Make sure you're speaking positively to yourself and avoiding negative self-talk. Try to focus on your strengths and the things you do well.

5) Take action.

One of the best ways to build confidence is to take action. This can be as simple as trying something new or taking on a challenge. Delve into things that would typically make you uncomfortable and embrace unfamiliarity. The more you do, the more confident you'll become. You can only grow in discomfort!

Remember, building confidence takes time and effort. It might not happen overnight, but every small step you take toward building your confidence will bring you closer to the person you want to be. Patience, consistency, and determination are key! Believe in yourself, and trust the journey – it’s more than worth it.
