Believe In Yourself

No matter what hardships you have faced in your life or what you were told when you were growing up, your life has meaning. You are worthy of self-love and capable of doing so much more than you've ever imagined. The first step to changing your mindset in order to find happiness, success, and growth is to start believing in yourself. When you believe in yourself, a whole new world opens up to you. You'll interact with your surroundings and other people with a natural curiosity and wonder that comes from a growth mindset instead of limiting your possibilities through a negative fixed mindset. Here's what you can do in order to believe in yourself more, so that you can live up to your potential: I. Return to your past.

 Think about all of the accomplishments that you have achieved. Ask yourself, "what have I achieved in the past year?" and "what am I happy that I've accomplished in my life?" Write down a list of your accomplishments, no matter how small your achievements are.

II. Write down the skills that you have. What skills allowed you to achieve your accomplishments? List all of the reasons why you are able to do the things that you do.

III. Write down everything that you admire about yourself. Whether it's your natural ability to connect with people, or your quiet and reserved nature.

There are surely things that you enjoy about yourself which will allow you to find more opportunities to bring out your best side while interacting with others. The simple task of writing down your past accomplishments, the things that you admire about yourself, and the skills you have is enough to boost your confidence.

Whenever you're feeling low and turn your mind to a negative thought pattern, just remember everything you're good at, and all the reasons why you should be happy to be just who you are.
