Feeling Confident: 6 Changes To Make Your Routine

Finding your confidence when you go out is essential if you want to have an active and enjoyable social life. But, of course, getting it right is always challenging. You don’t always know what you need to do. 

That’s where this post can help. We suggest you see it as a bunch of brainstorming ideas you can try to make yourself feel better and more confident. Here’s what you need to know: 

Change Your Body Language To Feel Confident

You’ll want to start by changing your body language and how you act around other people. Keeping your shoulders back and maintaining eye contact is critical. 

What’s interesting about this approach is that it works automatically when you are deliberate about it. If you adjust your posture and the way you approach social situations, you will automatically feel more confident, not the other way around. 

Try Contact Lenses

Another way to boost your confidence is to try wearing contact lenses for the week and see how you feel. Products, like 1-Day Acuvue Moist, are usually easy to put in and take out, giving you the ability to see everything you’re doing without glasses. 

Prepare Conversation Starters

You also want to prepare conversation starters where possible. If you always have something ready to say in social situations, you are far less likely to feel awkward, and this will show in your interactions with other people. 

Make sure you say something that breaks the ice. The more you can do this, the better you can manage your own anxiety, if that’s currently an issue for you. 

Care For Yourself Before Jumping Into A Social Situation

If you can take care of yourself before you jump into a social situation, that helps, too. Looking after your hair and skin, and perhaps going through a quick skincare routine, can make all the difference. 

If you are feeling tired and lacking energy, then even a short nap can sometimes help. A few minutes of shut-eye gives you the energy you need to make you feel your best in social situations. 

Talk To Yourself Positively

Talking to yourself positively is another strategy you can use, and something we’d recommend. Often, your mind is the biggest problem and the reason things feel hard. However, if you can change what you say to yourself, that can all change, too. 

Many times, the more you repeat positive thoughts, the more they get into your unconscious mind, and the more the world starts to bend to your will. You often find that you can step into situations and make things happen, just by redirecting your inner voice. 

Make Your Intentions Small

Finally, you might want to make your intentions small when meeting up with others. For example, you could go out with one or two people instead of an entire group. 

This focus allows you to take small, manageable steps toward your social goals. With these, you are far less likely to feel overwhelmed or lacking in confidence. Eventually, you can keep practicing and upgrade to more challenging social situations.
