How To Make Your Confidence Soar
Attack!
Have you ever had a negative experience in relation to your 'learning' that has damaged your confidence? Huh? Negative experience? In other words, has anyone ever said to you, 'you're wrong', 'you're dumb', 'you're stupid', 'you'll never amount to anything', 'you're never going to achieve anything', 'you're hopeless', 'you're' (you get the picture).
So, with that in mind, ask yourself: have you ever had a negative experience in relation to your 'learning' that has damaged your confidence? Has a higher authority (such as a teacher, older sibling, someone at school, parent or relative) ever told you that you were pathetic, useless or stupid? If so, did you automatically believe it to be the truth? It must be the truth because it came from a higher (and often respected or feared) authority didn't it? Obviously, just because a higher authority says it doesn't make it true. But the impact of these attacks is often subconscious and can lurk deep in the mind - rather than be something the individual is acutely aware of.

Where's Your Esteem?
If you have a low sense of self-esteem you will also have poor feelings about your abilities and your worth. Unfortunately, low self-esteem also results in low achievement level at school. This is because low self-esteem directly impacts your confidence, your attitude, your resilience and your enthusiasm for learning. But we don't want to be negative about it! We want to provide you with some solutions don't we! So, what can you do about it?
Solution Time!
Here are some ideas on things you can do to make your ego soar. Soar like an eagle. Did you ever know that you're my hero? You are the wind beneath my wings. OK sorry it's getting weird. Let's get into it.
1. Remember to pump up your own tires and just be positive - about every single thing! What's the point in being negative anyway - even if it's justified? Try being positive about every single thing for one whole week. That's right - a week. You can do it. Try it. See what happens. It's much better to give yourself and others compliments than to constantly put yourself and others down. Just try it. You'll see.
2. Think of all the things you are good at and all the success you have created. If you're not sure ask your parents or your friends. Write these things down and keep adding to the list as you think of anything. Read the list every morning when you wake up and any time you need a confidence boost. Just write things that make you feel good and you know are true. You will find there are many more amazing things about you than you realized. If you think there isn't you're just being negative again! Focus on the good.
3. Stop comparing yourself with other students. You have no idea what other people's lives are really like because you don't live their life. Things are never what they seem. So what are you comparing yourself to anyway? The only comparison worth making is that of comparing yourself today with yourself yesterday. Are you better today than you were yesterday? If so, how? Always strive to improve yourself each day and you will make huge gains over the course of a week, a month and a year.
4. Help others. That's right others. No, not yourself. Others! You will really feel good about yourself when you do, but that's not really the point. The point is that if you want to create a great sense of worth in your life, see what a difference you can make to other people's lives. Lend a hand. Help your mother with the dishes. Help your little sibling with their homework. Do one thing for someone else every day. See what happens. Also, only associate with people who like, respect, and support you for who you are. Try to avoid people who are always looking to find fault with you. Why would you want to spend time with negative people - they'll only drag you down and they aren't worth your time.
