3 Keys To Boosting Your Inner Confidence

As a coach for several years, I have learned that the key to success is inner confidence - both for myself and my clients. Of course, being self-confident feels good! However, self-confidence can also translate into other areas and creates healthier relationships, resilience, better work performance, and the courage to try new things.  

Many strategies, ways of thinking, patterns of behavior, and practical tips exist for improving your life and self-image, but none of them are worth anything without foundation.

You know deep down who you are, and that is the foundation. It would be best to have a certain level of confidence to find that and show your true self - here are the three keys to absolute inner assurance and confidence .

1. Get To Know Your Values

A person must know and understand their values to feel genuinely confident inside. As part of who you are, your values are the building blocks, the foundations, and cornerstones of who you are. Whether it be beliefs, progress, family, fun, nature, achievement, or freedom, a value you hold most dear.

What causes you to feel angry, frustrated, demotivated, or deflated when encountering some people and situations? Of course, we think negatively when one or more of our values is denied, suppressed, or repressed since it diminishes a fundamental element of our identities.

But, on the other hand, do you know those times when you've felt alive, unique, or thrilled? Those are the times when you honored your values. You need to get to a point where you are experiencing accurate alignment, like that, consistently. 

Your values are all yours, and no matter what happens, no one can ever take them away. However, you can have absolute confidence in them because they're there all the time, just waiting for you to notice and use them.

When you get to know your values, you can start making choices and aligning your life around them. Talking with a coach or therapist to recognize and honor your values is the first step to seeing where change needs to occur. Taking this self-inventory will help you gain confidence in yourself and who you are.

Before you tune in for the next part, list down all of your values. The ones that hold you and give you a solid foundation.

This will then give you a good base to work on
