So, you want to boost your self-confidence. That’s great! The world needs more confident people. But before we get into how to do that, let’s stop to ask ourselves a question: Why do we need self-confidence in the first place? In other words, what does it do for us? Surprisingly, there is an answer—and it’s not just about making yourself feel good. Self-confidence actually makes you better at everything from getting promoted at work to landing dates with attractive strangers (or friends). Studies have shown that people with high levels of self-esteem perform better than their low-self esteem counterparts in many aspects of life including sports competitions and job interviews. They also tend to earn higher salaries when starting out on their careers because they’re less likely to accept substandard offers compared with those who don’t believe they deserve much in life.”
1. Stop Comparing Yourself to Others!!!
You’re not in this alone. We all have our own journeys and experiences, and it’s easy to get caught up in comparing yourself with others. But this is a terrible habit that will only make you feel worse about yourself and your life.
- Don’t compare your journey with others: Sometimes we look at someone else’s path and think they had an easier time than us or they got to where they are much faster than us (or vice versa). Or maybe we see someone else living their dream life, but ours seems more like a nightmare at times–and then we feel like failures for not being able to make things work out as well as them! But remember that every person has their own unique set of circumstances, so don’t compare yours with anyone else’s! You don’t know what struggles might be going on behind closed doors or why someone might seem happier than you think they should be based on what’s happening in their lives right now; remember that self-esteem comes from within ourselves rather than outside sources such as social media followers or Instagram likes!
- Don’t compare your accomplishments with others’: It’s easy for people who haven’t achieved anything significant yet feel discouraged because other people around them seem like they’ve already made huge strides toward achieving success while still being young adults themselves – especially when those individuals have access funds/resources available only through connections made by family members who’ve already established themselves professionally beforehand…but remember that everyone progresses differently through life depending on factors such as genetics + environment + upbringing etcetera + education level attained thus far + hard work ethic practiced daily etcetera so try not worry too much about these things right now because chances are good no matter how hardworking someone seems now there were days earlier where he felt just like how today feels now too…so there really isn’t anything wrong with feeling overwhelmed sometimes when trying new things out (especially since most people do!).
2. Identify Your Values and Priorities
Identify Your Values and Priorities
So, you’ve got a big goal. But how do you know if it’s really going to help you achieve what’s most important in your life? You need to take a step back and look at the big picture: What are your values (things that are important) and priorities (what should I do first)?
Priorities should be based on your values; they’re things that support those values. For example, if one of your top three values is spending time with family, then having an extra hour each day after work may not be worth sacrificing sleep or exercise time–even though it would mean getting ahead on household chores faster!
Similarly, if getting fit is important because it means feeling better about yourself when going out in public places like restaurants or parks–but also makes walking easier so that visiting other places isn’t painful–then setting up an exercise routine might be a good way to go about achieving these goals without overloading yourself with too many responsibilities at once.
3. Work on Your Self-Talk
Self-talk is the dialogue you have with yourself. It’s the voice in your head that says “I’m going to be late” or “I can’t do this.” It’s also the more positive side of self-talk, where you encourage yourself and tell yourself that everything will be okay.
That little voice inside your head has a huge effect on how confident you feel about yourself, as well as what kind of action you take in life–which means that if we want to boost our confidence levels and crush our goals, then improving our self-talk should be one of our top priorities!
4. Take the Small Steps First
You’re more likely to take a small step than no step at all.
If you’re new to the concept of taking small steps, it may seem like an easy thing to do–but let me assure you: It’s not always as simple as it sounds. Many people have been taught that big results require big actions, so they hold back from taking any action at all because they feel like they need to tackle their goals head-on with gusto and vigor (and sometimes even overnight). This is true in some cases–but in many others, taking small steps is actually better than doing nothing at all!
Smaller actions are easier for our brains to process and execute on autopilot; this makes them more likely than larger ones (like quitting smoking cold turkey) will ever be completed successfully without careful planning and preparation beforehand — which most people don’t have time for when starting out fresh with new resolutions each year around February 1st (or whenever else).
5. Set Goals That Represent Who You Are
Set goals that represent who you are.
- Make sure your goals are achievable.
- Make sure your goals are measurable.
- Make sure your goals are relevant and realistic for where you’re at in life right now.
If you want to boost your self confidence, stop comparing yourself to others, identify your values and priorities, work on your self-talk, take small steps first and set goals that represent who you are!
- Stop comparing yourself to others.
- Identify your values and priorities.
- Work on your self-talk.
- Take small steps first, then set goals that represent who you are!

One response to “5 Surprisingly Simple Ways to Boost Your Self-Confidence and Crush Your Goals in 2023”
Great article.
That first one you mentioned is one that tries to creep into my head from time to time. I like how you phrased it not comparing your “journey” with others. I sometimes notice how others are able to do more, or able to complete things faster than I. However for the most part I have it under control. I simply say to my self “all I can do, is all I can do.” That combined with ” every little bit helps”. So yeah so what if others achieve things faster or better. The main thing is to always keep going forward.
Your Last point set goals that represent who you are. I like how you worded that, never thought of it that way. Thank you. The concept is very similar to smart goals, however thinking of them as a representation of yourself, that’s deep.
I don’t feel you missed anything at all. Enjoyed it.
