I also think that building self-confidence is full of “starts and stops.” That is, sometimes we’re happily full of self-confidence and self-esteem…and sometimes we’re down on ourselves, our bodies, our relationships, our jobs.

To have good self-confidence, I think we need to recognized that ups and downs in self-confidence are normal.

If you have more ways to build self-confidence, I’d love to hear them!

I taught an evening class on building self-confidence for five years, and the most important way to improve your confidence is to take risks and try new things. Even if you fail at your attempt, you still become stronger and more self-confident.

Also building self-confidence takes years. It doesn’t happen overnight.

The trick is learning not to be a people pleaser, and not to do things just because you “should.” And, learning to be honest and open about how you feel. This is much easier said than done!

Thanks for your comment, Brad.
