SIX LITTLE WAYS TO FEEL MORE CONFIDENT EVERY DAY

1. PSYCH YOURSELF UPNothing defeats fear and anxiety like taking action. This means making a decision—stat. I agreed o that interview opportunity within 30 seconds, before I let my obsessive thoughts take over. The same goes for accepting a first date, making the first romantic move, requesting a job interview, or volunteering to speak publicly. Say yes—and do it fast!

2.KEEP A RECORD OF POSITIVE FEEDBACK. Austin Kleon, an artist and bestselling author of Steal Like an Artist, recommends keeping a “praise file” full of compliments, positive feedback, and kind notes that anyone has ever sent you. This includes emails from past and current managers, thank-you notes from friends and family, or appreciation from clients or colleagues you’ve helped.  Whenever you're feeling unsure of yourself, open it up, read through the praise you've received, and let the love vibes remind you how badass you really are. It works—trust me!

3.SIT STILL 
Success is a mental game. But you don’t need two hours, twinkling tea light candles, or a personal zen den to access your positive headspace. Thanks to YouTube, all you need is five to 10 minutes, your smartphone, and earbuds. (Heck, you can even do it lying in bed or kicking back on your commute). Start your day off on a positive note with a guided meditation.

4.ROCK OUT 
Music is the ultimate mood shifter. Nothing packs a lyrical, self-assured punch more than listening to a powerful song depend on the type of song you prefer.

5. GIVE YOURSELF SOME CREDIT

Think about three achievements from the past two years. Maybe you moved into your own place for the first time. Maybe you survived an awful breakup. Or did you get a promotion, adopt a dog, or run a 5K? Whatever it is you've done—and done well—focus on that. Calling up what you have accomplished reminds you not only how far you've come, but also how much further you can (and will) go!

6.REMEMBER WE ARE ALL JUST FIGURING IT OUT 
It’s easy to look around and think everyone else knows what they’re doing—and you don't. The truth is, we're all just doing our very best—you, me, even celebs. British funnyman Ricky Gervais once said, “The best advice I was ever given was, 'No one knows what they are doing either.’” So cut yourself some slack! You’re doing great. We’re all in this together. The cocky guy in marketing and the put-together fashionista with a huge following on Instagram all experience self-doubt too, I promise.
