10 WAYS TO MAKE YOURSELF FEEL CONFIDENT

1. Imagine you’re twice the size that you are until you're filling the whole room.
2. Once you’ve done that, imagine you’re the size of the whole building.
3. Think of a time when you felt really confident in the past – and think about where you were, what you were looking at, what you were hearing and how you were feeling at the time.
4. Switch off that ‘voice in your head’ that tells you you’re not feeling confident - just imagine there’s a volume switch and turn it down.
5. Tell yourself how confident you’re feeling – say to yourself ‘I’m feeling confident because …’
6. If someone or something is intimidating you, imagine them in black and white – with no colour at all - and then shrink them down to a quarter of their size.
7. Hold your head up, look slightly upwards to the sky or the ceiling - and smile to yourself.
8. Think of a song or tune that makes you feel really good and play it to yourself – loudly – in your mind.
9. Think of someone you know – or someone famous – who is always confident, and imagine ‘stepping inside’ their body and becoming that person.
10. Imagine your centre of gravity is in your stomach. Hold it there, firmly – like a cannonball in your middle - and notice how much more secure you’re feeling now.
