  Encourage positive visualization
  
  Do not underestimate the power of your visions, they can get you to places in life. If you have a task ahead of you, always have a positive visualization of emerging successfully. The natural tendency is to see the negative of every situations. Train yourself and your mind's eye to see the positive outcome and how you have the power to influence these outcomes.

  Practice healthy habit lifestyle
  
  You must consider your daily lifestyle routines and how much impact they can have on your confidence. If for example your lack of self-confidence is tied to the fact that you consider yourself to have a poor fashion sense or bad body odor, you will need to do something about this to make sure you adjust yourself. This is not meant to make you vain or materialistic. Do not go into excess.

  Move with positive minded people
  
  Associate yourself with people that will bring out the best in you. If you have friends that make you feel like less of a person or crushes your self-esteem all the time, then you must cut them off. Such people can do you no good as far as building self-confidence is concerned.

  Seek Help
  
  Speak to professional about this issue or a trusted friend or even a work colleague. You could read books on this topic to build your understanding. Maybe you need to work through an internal issue and forgive your self before you can begin to take pride in yourself. Seek help from others to help you feel like you are totally in control of your life in a very positive way.

  Confront your fears
  
  Fear is normal for every self-confident person that has experienced it from time to time. No matter what lies ahead, encourage yourself to go for it and take it by all means necessary. Refuse to give yourself any sleep, because until you truly confront your fears, it might just continue to be a stumbling block.

  Bounce back from your mistakes
  
  Mistakes are terrible and can make one lose his or her self-confidence. The truth is this, everyone makes them. But more importantly, we are not defined by our mistakes, but instead we are defined by what we are willing to do today, in order to sustain a better tomorrow.

  Do not compare yourself with others
  
  Comparing yourself to others can make you lose sight of your personal goals, interests and achievements. Accept who you are and the fact that we all have our unique differences in one way or the other. Live your live to the fullest of your abilities and have no regrets!
