    "Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do."
    Benjamin Spock, author of 'Baby and Child Care', 1977

    If you want to increase self-confidence you have to know that it has as much to do with attitude aside from ability.

    I've known many people who, while they lacked ability in a specific area, absolutely 'oozed' confidence! I'm not talking about bragging about how excellent they are at tennis, or singing, or public speaking - when actually they're not. I'm talking about feeling okay about not being skilled in those fields and doing them anyway!

    Some things are just not important enough to stress about - however we do just the same and create unnecessary stress for ourselves. Whether you fall over making an attempt to ice-skate, make a hash of cooking, fail at DIY or just fear that you may not be good at using a personal computer in case you tried it, so you don't - does it really matter?

    Of course there are some things that are important! Being great at your job is one of them; creating good relationships is another. In these instances it's essential to find certain strategies to help you.

    What building selfconfidence boils down to is getting rid of that voice in your head that tells you that you'll fail if you try, that you're no good at this type of thing, that you're going to make a fool of yourself - or whatever the particular message is that rocks your confidence.

    Those messages don't necessarily tell the truth:

    They could have been told to you, in the past, by other people who had their own agenda. Sometimes people may say things to put you down so they would feel better about themselves!

    They may have been your interpretation of what someone said. Typically what we hear is not what is meant, so if I say "You're not very good at physical activities", you might hear that as a criticism or someone saying "You're a failure!"

    They may be based on a specific experience you had that caused you to write that message in your head yourself. Let's say you tried building a bookcase once however it didn't look very good when you finished it. Therefore, in your mind you believe you're no good at carpentry and would never try again. But you could have acknowledged that this wasn't too bad for your first attempt and that you'd perhaps get better with experience.

    Your attitude is the thing that will carry you to success, or defeat you before you even start.

    If you don't believe you can do it - odds are extremely high that you won't. And if you believe all the negative messages from the past, you may as well construct a brick wall between you and your goals. (And don't forget, you fail 100% of the opportunities you don't even go for!)

    However when you believe you can do it, if you can visualise yourself in your mind doing it, odds are very strong that you will succeed!

    There's a saying: "Change the way you look at things and the things you look at would change." (The half full - half empty glass is an instance of this!)

    But you don't have to do this on your own, and confidence coaching will assist you to to find other ways of viewing things. Then the coach would help you to spot your destructive beliefs and knock down those brick walls that stand between you and your goals. Developing your confidence will definitely help you to achieve what you want from life.
