You want to be confident and feel confident, but what if you’re starting with little or no confidence? How do you get from Point A to Point B?

Here are some tips from sheknows.com:

1. Play dress-up

One of the quickest and easiest ways to boost your confidence is to fake it. The best way to do that? Throw on one of your favorite outfits (or at least one you know will turn heads). By wearing attire that increases your self-confidence, you’ll feel more presentable, secure and in control of your life.

2. Act happy

When you smile, the whole world smiles with you, so why not, even if you’re having one of “those” days, slap on a sincere grin. When you see others responding to your jovial attitude, your mood is bound to take a turn for the brighter and make you feel better about YOU.

3. Do a good deed

Hold the door for someone. Buy coffee for a co-worker. Offer your seat on the train to a senior. By doing a good deed, you’ll feel better about yourself and the world around you.

4. Challenge yourself

Whether you set out to master a new move in your exercise routine or decide to get over your biggest fear, challenging yourself to master something – and then accomplishing it – will give you a huge boost in self-confidence.

5. Do something you love

When you’re feeling low, it’s important to do something you love and feel good doing. So lie on the couch and watch your favorite movie. Cook up a meal for friends. Take a run through your neighborhood. By doing something you’re good at and that brings you pleasure, you’ll feel more competent and accomplished and more capable of handling any task that comes your way.
