Do you often find yourself feeling anxious and insecure? Is your lack of confidence holding you back from achieving your goals? If so, you’re not alone. Low self-confidence can be a major obstacle in our lives, but it doesn’t have to stay that way.

It is possible to build up your self-esteem and reclaim control over your life by taking the right steps towards boosting your confidence. With some work and dedication, even just seven days can make a huge difference in how confident you feel! In this post we will discuss seven strategies for building up your confidence in just one week. By the end of this post, you will have the tools necessary to start living with more assurance and less anxiety!

1. Take time to reflect on your successes, both big and small: It’s easy to focus on our mistakes and shortcomings, but it is also important to remember all of the great things we have accomplished in life – no matter how small. Taking a few moments each day to reflect on what went right can help you see yourself in a more positive light.
2. Set realistic goals: Setting manageable goals is key to boosting your confidence. When you set achievable goals and reach them, it gives you a sense of accomplishment, self-trust, and will encourage you to keep striving for more!
3. Exercise: Going for a regular walk or run can do wonders for your self-confidence. Exercise helps to reduce stress, increase endorphins, and improve your overall physical and mental health.
4. Make yourself a priority: When we feel good about ourselves, our confidence increases. Set aside time each day to do things that you enjoy or activities that make you feel more relaxed and in control.
5. Visualize success: Visualizing yourself succeeding in a certain area can be a powerful tool for building up your confidence. Take some time each day to imagine yourself achieving a particular goal and the positive emotions that come with it.
6. Speak positively to yourself: We are often our own worst critics, so it’s important to be mindful of the words you speak to yourself. Instead of focusing on your mistakes, recognize the things you do well and give yourself credit for these things.  Our brain believes what we tell it, so we may as well tell it good things. 
7. Surround yourself with positive people:  Positive energy is contagious! Spending time around supportive friends or family members can have a huge impact on your self-confidence and overall outlook on life.

By making small changes each day, you can create big improvements in your self-confidence in just seven days!
