Knowing how to help build, boost, and develop self-confidence is a skill which, by following a simple process and with a little practice can easily be learnt. Building self-confidence is probably a lot easier than you think.
When most people talk about wanting to be more self-confidence, what they typically really mean is:
- 'How can I resist the stress and control of overly dominant people?'
- 'How do I prevent myself from being bullied?'
- 'How will I bring to bear more personal control in situations that are important to me?'
Here are presented a number of simple method, techniques and easy to follow processes for developing self-confidence behaviour.
Self-confidence methods and techniques
1. Pre-arm yourself with as many facts relating to the circumstances and have the details to hand.
2. Anticipation - try to be ready for how other people might behave (practicing visualisation is good for this) and pre-plan your response.
3. Prepare and make use of good quality open questions (see examples below).
4. Learn to re-condition your unconscious mind (hypnosis can help)
5. Keep a scrap book of positive quotes and saying and read them often - this is a proven successful procedure and helps re-condition the mind.
6. Consider learning hypnosis (see explanation below) through a gentle induction process to develop deep relaxation you can experience the feeling of self confidence flowing through you and can learn to summon that felling at any time.
Hypnosis is a mental state (state theory) or set of attitudes and beliefs (non-state theory) usually induced by a procedure known as a hypnotic induction, which is commonly composed of a long series of preliminary instructions and suggestions.[1] Hypnotic suggestions may be delivered by a hypnotist in the presence of the subject, or may be self-administered ("self-suggestion" or "autosuggestion"). The use of hypnotism for therapeutic purposes is referred to as "hypnotherapy."
The above description of "What is Hypnosis is from:
Developing good open questions
Prepare and make use of good questions to expose flaws in other people's arguments, there lack of thought, preparation and consideration on their part compared with the study, research and investigation on your part (forewarned is forearmed).
Some examples might be:
- 'Can you show me your evidence (for what was said or claimed)?'
- 'Who have you conferred with about this?'
- 'Have you looked at or even considered any alternative solutions?'
- 'How have you quantified what you are say is the problem?'
Don't be fobbed off, believe in your own self confidence and stick to your guns. If your questions are being, ignored, avoided or disregard be sure to return to them. During your preparation stage, subtly re-phrase your questions so you asking for an answer to the same question only slightly differently, it won't be perceived as the same question.
Good Luck
