How to get HIGH with Confidence

Experts prescribe eight effective ways to cultivate confidence in yourself:

1. Act “as if.” To move closer to your ideal self, act as if you were the way you want to be.
2. Escalate expectation. By setting more challenging goals, you expand your comfort zone.
3. Don’t fear failure. Failure gives valuable lessons in life.
4. Reject Rejection. Don’t fall prey to feelings of helplessness and despair.
5. Surround yourself with positive friends. They will encourage and motivate you more.
6. Censor Negatives. Negative thinking become a self-fulfilling prophesy.
7. Be self-directed. Take control of your life.
8. Help others. In reaching out, you make a difference in other people’s lives.
