Mindset and self-belief

When it comes to success, nothing is more important and influential than positive mindset and belief in oneself. In fact, if we want to be successful, self-belief is more important than our talent, background, or just about anything else. In addition to this, people who have self-confidence and believe in themselves are healthier, happier, have better relationships, and are more motivated and resilient.

Self-belief is about confidence, but it is also much more than that: it is about building confidence! And the way to build confidence is to motivate yourself to try new things, have the resilience to keep going and learn from past mistakes.

Upon completion of this topic, you will be able:

1. create lists of things you are good at to include your strengths, past successes and accomplishments and other transferrable skills;
2. build positive relationships in order to learn and get as much advice and information as possible. A good teacher or mentor will not only teach, they will also empower you by pointing out your strengths and boosting your self-confidence;
3. seek chances to learn and build on what you know in order to prepare yourself for new experiences. Choosing to build your knowledge shows great motivation, and you can also build a positive attitude by treating mistakes or gaps in your knowledge as a chance to seek feedback and improve over time;
4. give yourself a challenge. We all feel nervous or afraid to do things at times but taking part in activities can put you in situations where you may meet new people and discover new ways of doing things. It can take you out of your comfort zone, but once you’ve got used to the new experience, it makes your comfort zone grow bigger.
