Word for being self confident

Did this article help you?

If you have days, weeks, months, or even years when your confidence is low, please know you’re not alone.

Whether it’s circumstantial or chronic, low self-confidence impacts all of us at different points in our lives.

Even those born with a more positive personality type have times when they doubt their abilities or feel incapable of success.

Lacking faith in our abilities, our attractiveness, or our relationship skills is a common theme in human drama.

Self-confidence isn’t developed by escaping these difficulties, but rather it’s nurtured and strengthened by the way we respond to life challenges and how we view ourselves in spite of them.

The foundation for self-confidence is embracing your inherent value and capacity for success, even as you recognize you’ll meet challenges and failure along the way.

How Confidence Quotes Can Boost Your Self-Esteem

There’s nothing better than the feeling of kickass self-confidence. Not the self-absorbed, boasty, I’m-better-than-you kind of confidence (which really isn’t confidence at all).

I’m talking about the confidence that exudes from a certain inner knowing that you are capable, interesting, attractive enough, and worthy of love and respect.

• Confident people are able to be humble without appearing meek.
• They can admit mistakes without feeling like failures.
• They can have a beginner’s mindset without seeming like fools.

We all need confident sayings and quotes to remind us of this truth about ourselves.

We need something to jar us into positive confident thinking so we can retrain our brains to accept the truth about our potential to have unfettered confidence in ourselves.

Can Anyone Have Confidence In Themselves?

You don’t have to be wildly successful, the smartest, drop-dead gorgeous to have great confidence in yourself.

You just have to feel comfortable in your own skin.

“Easier said than done,” says you. “Not necessarily,” says me.

Yes, it does help if you are attractive, skilled, and have a naturally outgoing personality.

But these aren’t requirements for confidence.

Confidence is a skill that can be learned by anyone, even those who see themselves as shy, socially awkward, or unattractive.

In fact, have you ever noticed how a physically attractive person who is rude, narcissistic, or otherwise unpleasant or disengaged suddenly isn’t so attractive anymore?

Self-confidence is trusting that ultimately you have what it takes to be who you want to be.

The dictionary defines confidence as “the feeling or belief that one can rely on someone or something; firm trust.”

When we feel confident in others, we know and trust in their ability to do what they have promised.

When we feel confident in ourselves, we are able to trust in our own abilities, qualities, and judgement.

Self-confidence is important to both your physical health and your psychological well-being. When you believe in yourself you’re more likely to try new things, devote your time and energy to tasks that matter, make good lifestyle choices, and foster healthy relationships.

Many of us struggle with confidence issues. In an age of social media, it can be difficult not to compare ourselves with other people. We might lack confidence at work, in public speaking, or in meeting new people, which makes us fear that we aren’t taken seriously or that we won’t meet new friends or a significant other.

But the great news is, we can do many things to help boost our self-confidence levels. From taking better care of our bodies to journaling, quitting social media and reading confidence-boosting quotes, there are plenty of ways to build trust in ourselves.

Here at keepinspiring.me, we want to help you reach a whole new level of self-confidence!

Self-Confidence Quotes

It is certainly true that confidence is attractive. A person who believes in themselves and what they are doing is definitely more attractive than a person who cowers on the sidelines hoping no one will notice them.

There is, however, a fine line between confidence and arrogance.

Psychology Today tells us: “the best kind of confidence is like a classical virtue: it strikes the “golden mean” between self-doubt and arrogance, allowing a person to embody his or her positive traits without bragging about them.”

While some of us are much quieter and less open than others, it doesn’t mean that we can’t work on becoming more confident in ourselves. These quotes are all about finding self-confidence, facing the fear, and doing it anyway.

Because one believes in oneself, one doesn’t try to convince others. Because one is content with oneself, one doesn’t need others’ approval. Because one accepts oneself, the whole world accepts him or her.

Lao Tzu

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Self-Belief Quotes

A big part of being and feeling confident is believing in yourself! Self-esteem, self-value, self-respect, self-love… they all start with you!

Believing in yourself, having the confidence to live the life you’ve always imagined, is the ultimate goal for many people. But a journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. If believing in your own abilities, qualities, and judgement isn’t something that comes naturally to you, start small.

Challenge yourself to do something new.

Whether it’s getting off the sofa to go out for a run, making friends with a stranger you see everyday, jumping into charity work, or even starting a new business… you don’t have to get it right first time. What matters is that you stick with it and have faith in yourself.

These quotes are all about finding a sense of self-belief, and valuing and loving yourself for exactly who you are.

Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.

Lucille Ball

Life is too short to waste any amount of time on wondering what other people think about you. In the first place, if they had better things going on in their lives, they wouldn’t have the time to sit around and talk about you. What’s important to me is not others’ opinions of me, but what’s important to me is my opinion of myself.

C. Joybell C.

Love who you are, embrace who you are. Love yourself. When you love yourself, people can kind of pick up on that: they can see confidence, they can see self-esteem, and naturally, people gravitate towards you.

John Joseph Powell

Believe it can be done. When you believe something can be done, really believe, your mind will find the ways to do it. Believing a solution paves the way to solution.

David J. Schwartz

Depression weighs you down like a rock in a river. You don’t stand a chance. You can fight and pray and hope you have the strength to swim, but sometimes, you have to let yourself sink. Because you’ll never know true happiness until someone or something pulls you back out of that river–and you’ll never believe it until you realize it was you, yourself who saved you.

Alysha Speer

The person in life that you will always be with the most, is yourself. Because even when you are with others, you are still with yourself, too! When you wake up in the morning, you are with yourself, laying in bed at night you are with yourself, walking down the street in the sunlight you are with yourself.What kind of person do you want to walk down the street with? What kind of person do you want to wake up in the morning with? What kind of person do you want to see at the end of the day before you fall asleep? Because that person is yourself, and it’s your responsibility to be that person you want to be with. I know I want to spend my life with a person who knows how to let things go, who’s not full of hate, who’s able to smile and be carefree. So that’s who I have to be.

C. Joybell C.

Self respect, self worth, and self love, all start with self. Stop looking outside of yourself for your value.

Lorri Faye

We hope these confidence quotes have inspired you to believe in yourself, get out there, and try something new.

Self-confidence is a bit like wealth, happiness, and 6-pack abs.

Everyone wants it.

But it can be bloody hard to get your hands on!

This is something I struggle with quite a bit.

Frequent bouts of doubt, anxiety and questions of self-worth rattle around my head on a regular basis (often outside my conscious awareness).

…So I’ve started talking to myself in the shower.

Things like “I am enough”, “I am capable”, “I am confident”, and “I am worthy”.

I say these kinds of confidence affirmations over and over, as the cold water hits my skin and clears the dregs of sleep from my brain.

It sounds strange, I know, but I’ve heard so much about the Law of Attraction, the power of manifestations and positive affirmations that I figured I’d give it all a shot.

Time will tell if they make a difference!

In the meantime, I figured I’d share a big long list of affirmations for confidence that could prove useful for anybody else in need of a similar boost in self-esteem.

Give it a read and, with any luck, we can work through our confidence issues together!

How Can a Simple Confidence Affirmation Help?

No matter who we are, where we’re from, or what we do for a living, the way we talk to ourselves matters.

Consciously or unconsciously, we can say (to ourselves):

• You suck

• You could never do that

• You don’t deserve to succeed

• Your opinion doesn’t matter

…Or:

• You’re trying really hard right now

• You’re a good, kind-hearted person

• You’re worthy of love

• You’re not good enough at that particular task yet.

One voice knocks you down. The other picks you up.

Importantly, though, that inner voice tends to arise from our underlying beliefs about who we are.

If we believe we’re unworthy, useless, or totally inadequate, then that becomes the lens through which we interpret the world and the message we tell ourselves.

And that, like a self-fulfilling prophecy, eventually impacts our actual reality.

I was listening to a podcast just this morning where this came up.

Jay Shetty was interviewing Marie Forleo (if you haven’t come across either of these inspiring people before, then I definitely recommend checking them out!).

At one point in the conversation, Marie said:

“Our beliefs create our thoughts and our thoughts create our feelings and our feelings create our behaviour and our behaviour creates our results.

And so if you want anything to change at the results level…we need to go deeper to our beliefs, because if we can handle that, everything changes.”

That, ultimately, is where confidence affirmations come into play.

By interrupting the usual negative messages with something positive and encouraging, over time our brain chemistry begins to shift.

Unhelpful neural pathways give way to new ones and our core beliefs about who we are as people take on a different light.

Simply put, we talk ourselves into becoming a more confident person!

How to Use Self-Confidence Affirmations and Self-Esteem Affirmations

Affirmations sound too good to be true.

I mean, say something enough and you can make it happen? It seems unrealistic, right!?

Throw in the usual Law of Attraction ideas around the universe, frequencies, and energy vibrations, and you’d be forgiven for calling bull**** on the whole thing.

But you start reading a little more on the topic and breaking the process down into its constituent parts, though, and it starts sounding far more reasonable!

There seem to be three core components of using self-confidence affirmations (or any affirmation, for that matter) and seeing results:

1. Repeat positivity

Affirmations a) are positive and b) operate in the present tense.

So, “I will no longer be low on confidence” won’t be as effective as “I love how confident I feel these days”.

Once you’ve picked your affirmation, you’re then meant to repeat it to yourself (out loud is best) over and over again throughout the day.

This is how and where we start to reframe our underlying narratives.

2. Emotionalize

Just saying something isn’t enough though.

The real magic happens when you feel it as well.

You have to emotionalize as you say the affirmation; to let the words impact your physiology. Otherwise they’re empty sounds.

Try to feel your heart rate increase, shivers up and down your spine, and tingles in your toes.

The more emotion behind the words, the greater the impact they’ll have on your life.  

3. Take Action

As Jim Carrey once said: “You can’t just visualize then go eat a sandwich”.

This principle’s one of the main reasons I really started to have some faith in the whole Law of Attraction/manifestation thing.

You’re not leaving anything up to fate.

Nor are you expecting or asking for a miracle.

You have to do the work.

The last and most pivotal part of any confidence affirmation, then, is to take steps (however small) to welcome confidence into our lives.

We’ve said the affirmation, shifted our perspective, and now reinforce it all through action.

So, all told, affirmations involve altering our stories, changing the way we feel, and then behaving in line with what we desire.

That, to me, sounds like a trifecta of how to bring positive change into our lives!

Time to Try These Confidence Affirmations

I tend to feel a little envious when I meet someone who exudes confidence.

Not the arrogant kind.

The authentic, humble variety; the gentle, quick-witted, calm under pressure, self-accepting, look-you-in-the-eye-without-blinking kind of confidence! Without the burden of crippling self-consciousness, everything seems easy for these people.

But then I remind myself: I can be like that too!

Heck, I am like that.

I just developed a nasty habit of telling myself the opposite and did a convincing job of it.

With patience, insight, effort, and yes, confidence affirmations, we can all enjoy the perks of high self-esteem! If you’re in a position where need a boost in this regard, then I really hope the affirmations for confidence in this post will make a difference.

Have any questions or comments?

Let me know below! I’d love to hear from you.

Did you like these affirmations for self-esteem? Read these posts next:

Confidence is a feeling of trust in your abilities, qualities, and judgment. The American Psychological Association defines self-confidence as «a belief that one is capable of successfully meeting the demands of a task.»

It can refer to a general sense of trust in your ability to control your life, or it might be more situation specific. For example, you might have high self-confidence in a particular area of expertise but feel less confident in other areas. Research suggests that confidence is important to health and psychological well-being.

Having a healthy level of self-confidence can help you become more successful in your personal and professional life. Research has found, for example, that more confident people tend to achieve more academically. Your level of confidence even affects how you present yourself to others.

Ways to Be More Confident

Fortunately, there are several ways you can increase your self-confidence. Whether you lack confidence in one specific area or struggle to feel confident about anything, these nine tips can help you be more confident.

Stop Comparing Yourself to Others

Do you compare how you look to people you follow on Instagram? Or maybe you compare your salary to what your friend earns. Social comparison theory explains that making comparisons is natural. But it isn’t likely to help boost your self-confidence. It may even have the opposite effect. 

A 2018 study published in Personality and Individual Differences found a direct link between envy and the way we feel about ourselves. Specifically, researchers noted that when people compare themselves to others, they experience envy. And the more envy they have, the worse they feel about themselves.

How do you build self-confidence when you notice that you are drawing comparisons? First, remind yourself that doing so isn’t helpful. Everyone is running their own race and life isn’t a competition.

If you’re feeling envious of someone else’s life, it’s also helpful to remember your own strengths and successes. Keep a gratitude journal to better recall the areas in life where you are blessed. This can help you focus on your own life versus focusing on the lives of others.

Surround Yourself With Positive People

Take a moment and think about how your friends make you feel. Do they lift you up, or do they bring you down? Are they constantly judging you, or do they accept you for who you are? 

The people you spend time with can influence your thoughts and attitudes about yourself, perhaps more than you realize. So, pay attention to how others make you feel. If you feel bad about yourself after hanging out with a particular person, it may be time to say goodbye. 

Instead, surround yourself with people who love you and want the best for you. Seek out others who are positive and can help build your confidence. Self-confidence and a positive attitude go hand-in-hand.

Take Care of Your Body

This tip for how to be more confident is based on the idea that it’s hard to feel good about yourself if you’re abusing your body. When you practice self-care, you know you’re doing something positive for your mind, body, and spirit—and you’ll naturally feel more confident as a result.

Here are a few self-care practices linked to higher levels of self-confidence:

• Diet: Healthy eating comes with many benefits, including higher levels of confidence and self-esteem. When you fuel your body with nutrient-dense foods, you feel healthier, stronger, and more energized, which can result in feeling better about yourself.
• Exercise: Studies consistently show that physical exercise boosts self-confidence. For instance, a 2016 study found that regular physical activity improved participants’ body image. And when their body image improved, they felt more confident.
• Meditation: More than just a relaxation practice, meditation can help boost self-confidence in several ways. For one, it helps you to recognize and accept yourself. Meditation also teaches you to stop negative self-talk and disconnect from unhelpful mental chatter interfering with your confidence.
• Sleep: Skimping on sleep can take a toll on your emotions. Conversely, good-quality sleep has been linked with positive personality traits, including optimism and self-esteem.

Be Kind to Yourself

Self-compassion involves treating yourself with kindness when you make a mistake, fail, or experience a setback. It allows you to become more emotionally flexible and helps you better navigate challenging emotions, enhancing your connection to yourself and others.

A 2015 study connects self-compassion with self-confidence. So the next time you’re in a challenging situation, recognize that being imperfect or falling short at times is a part of being human. Do your best to navigate these experiences with compassion toward yourself.

Practice Positive Self-Talk

Negative self-talk can limit your abilities and lessen your self-confidence by convincing your subconscious that you «can’t handle» something or that it is «too hard» and you «shouldn’t even try.» Self-talk that is optimistic, on the other hand, can foster self-compassion and help you overcome self-doubt and take on new challenges.

The next time you begin to think that you have no business speaking up in a meeting or that you are too out of shape to work out, remind yourself that your thoughts aren’t always accurate. Then find a way to turn those thoughts around into more positive self-talk.

Here are a few examples of ways to challenge pessimistic self-talk and reframe your thoughts into a more positive way of thinking, increasing your self-confidence along the way:

• «I can’t handle this» or «This is impossible» becomes «I can do this» or «All I have to do is try.»
• «I can’t do anything right» becomes «I can do better next time» or «At least I learned something.»
• «I hate public speaking» becomes «I don’t like public speaking» and «Everyone has strengths and weaknesses.»

Face Your Fears

Stop putting things off until you feel more self-confident—like asking someone on a date or applying for a promotion. One of the best ways to build your confidence in these situations is by facing your fears head-on.

Practice facing some of your fears that stem from a lack of self-confidence. If you’re afraid you’ll embarrass yourself or think that you’re going to mess up, try anyway. A little self-doubt can even help improve performance. Tell yourself it’s just an experiment and see what happens.

You might learn that being a little anxious or making a few mistakes isn’t as bad as you thought. And each time you move forward, you gain more confidence in yourself. In the end, this can help prevent you from taking risks that will result in major negative consequences.

Do Things You’re Good At

What happens when you do things that you are good at? Your self-confidence starts to soar. Your strengths become even stronger, which helps improve your belief in yourself. Taking this approach also has another benefit: it can increase how satisfied you are with your life.

One study found that believing in your ability to build on your personal strengths is moderately related to life satisfaction levels. This starts with identifying what those strengths are. Then, work to make them stronger by engaging with them regularly.

If you’re good at a certain sport, for instance, make it a point to train or play at least once a week. If you’re good at a particular task at work, try to do that task more often. Building on your strengths can also help you build your self-confidence.

Know When to Say No

While doing things you’re good at can give your self-confidence a boost, it’s equally important to recognize situations that can cause your confidence to plummet. Maybe you find that every time you participate in a certain activity, you feel worse about yourself instead of better.

Saying no to activities that tend to zap your self-confidence is okay. Certainly, you don’t want to avoid doing anything that makes you feel uncomfortable because discomfort is often part of the personal growth process. At the same time, there’s nothing wrong with knowing your boundaries and sticking to them.

Setting social and emotional boundaries enables you to feel safer psychologically. It can also help you feel more in control. Self-confidence is, in part, feeling like you have control over your life. Boundaries help establish this feeling of control.

The next time someone suggests doing something that you know will lower your self-confidence, respectfully decline. You don’t have to avoid that activity forever either. Once you learn how to be more confident, you may feel strong enough to try it again—without hurting the confidence you have in yourself.

Set Realistic Goals

Pursuing your goals often involves failing several times until you figure out what works. This can make you wonder if you have what it takes to succeed. It can also leave you questioning how to be more confident while still achieving your dreams. The answer lies in setting realistic goals.

Setting high-reaching goals and failing to achieve them has been found to damage confidence levels. Conversely, realistic goals are achievable. And the more you achieve your goals, the greater your confidence in yourself and your abilities.

To set realistic goals, write down what you want to achieve. Next, ask yourself what chance you have of attaining it. (Be honest!) If the answer is slim to none, the goal may be a bit too lofty. Dial it back so it is more realistic and more achievable.

This may require doing a bit of research on your part. For instance, if you have a goal to lose weight, experts recommend losing one to two pounds per week for healthy, long-term weight loss. Knowing this helps you set a goal in line with this guideline, boosting your self-confidence when you hit it.

Confidence vs. Insecurity

When learning how to be more confident, it can be helpful to understand how someone with self-confidence is different from someone who is more insecure. Here are just some of the differences between the two.

Benefits of Confidence

Being confident in yourself just feels good. That said, having self-confidence can also bring many additional benefits at home, at work, and within your relationships. Here’s a look at a few of the positive effects of learning how to be confident:

• Better performance: Rather than waste time and energy worrying that you aren’t good enough, you can devote your energy to your efforts. Ultimately, you’ll perform better when you have more self-confidence.
• Healthier relationships: Having self-confidence not only impacts how you feel about yourself, but it helps you better understand and love others. It also gives you the strength to walk away from a relationship if you’re not getting what you want or deserve.
• Openness to try new things: When you believe in yourself, you’re more willing to try new things. Whether you apply for a promotion or sign up for a cooking class, putting yourself out there is a lot easier when you have confidence in yourself and your abilities.
• Resilience: Believing in yourself can enhance your resilience or ability to bounce back from any challenges or adversities you face in life.

A Word From Verywell

Everyone struggles with confidence issues at one time or another. Fortunately, there are several things that you can do to boost self-confidence. In many cases, learning how to act confident can actually help you feel more confident.

Sometimes low self-confidence is a sign of a mental health condition such as depression or anxiety. If your self-confidence interferes with your work, social life, or education, consider talking to a mental health professional. A therapist can help you better understand the issue, recommend treatment, and work with you to develop skills to build your self-confidence.

Affirmations are positive statements we tell ourselves in order to reprogram our brains. This is in an effort to let go of negative thoughts and start thinking more clearly and productively.

Self-confidence positive affirmations allow us to use the science of brain reprogramming to help us learn to face the world with less fear.  Today, we’re going to examine why this practice is so important to our happiness and success.

Why Affirmations are Important for Self-Confidence

We are often so ready and willing to say positive things to others… yet many of us tend to resort to negative thoughts when it comes to how we view ourselves. This can wreak havoc on our self-esteem and, thus, derail our goals and dreams in life.

The longer this goes on, the more difficult it becomes to recognize our good qualities. While there are many ways we can increase this positivity, affirmations work to literally change the pathways in our brains. This means that, eventually, we can and will become adept at pushing aside the negative thoughts that cause us to doubt ourselves and what we are capable of achieving.

You can even give kids a head start on building self-esteem and self-confidence with affirmations. The earlier one starts this practice, the easier it will be to master.

How to Use Affirmations

Just like other habits, building self-confidence takes time and practice. Once you have in mind the affirmation that resonates with you, make sure you practice saying it several times a day. Some people even make a point of writing the statement 3-10 times every morning in a journal.

It may seem strange to you at first, given many of us are unaccustomed to giving ourselves positive encouragement. If it helps, have a trusted friend repeat these to you every day… until you’re ready to recite them on your own.

You could also create an affirmation board. Place your daily affirmation there and stop every time you see it to repeat the words.

Affirmations are a great deterrent for when you begin noticing that negative thoughts are entering your mind.

At that moment, take a deep breath and practice mindfulness by bringing awareness to the surface. Keep breathing deeply and repeating your affirmation until the negative thought disappears.

Final Thoughts on Self-Confidence Positive Affirmations

It never hurts to consider various ways to build self-confidence. In fact, you may find it useful to use a number of methods when it comes to increasing self-esteem and awareness. 

That said, utilizing these self-confidence affirmations is a great place to start. It only takes a few simple words to start believing and, eventually, these affirmations will place speed bumps along the path your negative thoughts take… slowing them down immensely.

And before long, these speed bumps will be replaced with red lights, stopping negativity in its tracks. With the increased self-esteem and confidence you gain, you can literally do anything you set your mind to.
