How to build trust
Confidence refers to an overall sense of well-being and confidence in who you are and what you are capable of. It has three main elements: your belief in your ability to accomplish a specific task, your belief in your ability to achieve your life goals and be accepted by those around you, and your belief in your worth as a person. Because of its complex and far-reaching nature, trust is not something people develop overnight. Rather, trust must be built. It’s a lifelong journey that can bring more and more satisfaction as you grow.
So how exactly do you build trust? Here are some great skills to practice if you want to become more confident.
Break the comparison mindset
Stop comparing yourself to others. This is a hard habit to break. After all, social comparison is ingrained in most people from a very young age. But everyone is a unique person on a unique path. It doesn’t help you much to compare your process to someone else’s, but it can easily do harm. Work on shifting your thoughts away from comparative thinking. To do this, you might want to try to develop a habit when you catch yourself comparing.
For example, you could pause to give yourself three authentic compliments, or you could write in a gratitude journal about the things in life that you are grateful for. Alternatively, you could try clearing your mind completely while taking 10 deep breaths.
Look at what’s happening around you
Pay attention to your social environment. If you’re wondering how to become more confident, ask yourself: are the people around you judgmental or overly critical? If so, it can be difficult to break out of this negative mindset, which generally does nothing to boost one’s confidence. See if you can spend more time with people who will boost your self-image and put you in a positive headspace. From there it will be easier to build trust.
practice honesty
To be honest with yourself and others, you must accept and own all parts of yourself. This reduces shame or embarrassment and helps you build trust holistically. Do you like something that others think is goofy? So what! Be as happy and forgiving as you can about yourself, and you’ll find that you feel good about it.
Engage your discomfort
Try to do more things that make you uncomfortable. You might surprise yourself with your ability to tolerate discomfort, and the more you do, the less uncomfortable you’ll feel. After all, being comfortable with what someone else might find uncomfortable is a way of describing confidence.
Reflect on your achievements
It is often much easier to remember failures than successes. Start writing it down or just spend time remembering your accomplishments. This will help you face the world as the capable, accomplished person that you are.
Remember that this journey takes time
The path to greater trust is not easy or linear; There may be times when you feel like you can see your progress and there may be other times when you feel like you haven’t made any progress at all. As you build confidence, try to remember that you are an imperfect being on an imperfect journey and you are doing the best you can with the resources you have. Be gentle with yourself, especially when you’re going through a rough time, and don’t get discouraged if you’re slow.
be nice to yourself
Often people can be unnecessarily cruel to themselves. To build self-confidence, try adopting a kinder attitude towards yourself.
First, try strengthening your self-care practices. It’s hard to be confident when you just don’t feel good. Find a few self-care practices that really benefit you and practice them regularly. If you’re looking to build trust, you might be amazed at how much impact it can have.
Second, pay attention to your self-talk. Most people are their own harshest critics, often going beyond the point of being constructive and slipping into toxic negativity. If you find yourself talking to yourself in a way that you wouldn’t talk to a loved one, then it’s probably time to work on changing your inner voice. Changing your tone from negative to neutral can also help build confidence. Good rules of thumb are: don’t scold yourself, remember that your mistakes don’t define you, and treat yourself with the care you show others.
Benefits of Trust
There are a number of benefits of having trust. Confident people are more likely to achieve their goals. When you spend less time being self-critical, you have more time to focus on the things that really matter. Confident people also tend to form stronger relationships. When you feel better, you can devote more time and energy to growing your relationships. It can also help you understand when a relationship is no longer working for you. Confidence can also make you more open to trying new things. When you’re comfortable with yourself and your abilities, it’s easier to take risks and commit yourself to a promotion, a new position, or new experiences, among many other things.
If all of these ways to build trust are overwhelming, start small by picking a few of these suggestions and sticking with them for a few weeks. After that, see how you feel and take it from there.
As you build confidence, don’t worry too much about slipping into arrogance. Arrogance actually stems from insecurity; it’s a shallow feat of confidence designed to boost the performer’s ego. Truly confident people don’t need to rely on such behavior to bolster their self-image. They are just at peace with themselves and their abilities. Developing authentic self-confidence is actually a good protection against arrogance.
Finally, confidence often leads to increased resilience. When you believe in yourself and your abilities, it helps you recover from failure, mistakes, and pain faster than if you were also fighting a loud inner critic.
