Confidence cue – Say yes more

Self-confidence goes hand in hand with positivity. The more positive your self-talk is, the more confident you will be. We’re all guilty of talking down to ourselves – saying things like, “I need to do better,” or “I wish I didn’t do that.” But it’s time to put an end to that negativity.

Instead, say yes more.

Then load up your self-talk with positive affirmations instead of self-deprecation.

Ever heard of a mantra? Now is the perfect time to come up with an encouraging mantra for yourself - it may be something you envisage for yourself - but especially something you know that is grounded in experience or felt emotion.

And make sure to rid your vocabulary of any wishy-washy phrases like “I think” or “I hope.” Confidence means you know you can do it – start living up to that now!
