Some experts say a great way to boost your confidence is to keep a confidence diary for a month.
\n<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

It is a smart tool to remind yourself just how good you really are and what you have to be thankful for, and pleased about in your life right now.\u00a0 By writing (or typing<\/em>) answers to key questions you are forced to be honest with yourself and to look at the positive aspects and people in your life, even when you are feeling a bit down.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Once a week for the next month you can jot down your answers in a notepad or type them in a Word doc to the following confidence questions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Take just 10 minutes per week, sit down and record your thoughts to:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. <\/span><\/b>What have I got to be grateful for in my life right now?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

2. <\/span><\/b>What am I happy about in my life right now?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

3. <\/span><\/b>Why am I happy about these things?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

4. <\/span><\/b>What did I accomplish last week?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

5. <\/span><\/b>What am I excited about in my life right now?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

6. <\/span><\/b>Who do I love and appreciate in my life? Who do I like hanging around? Why?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

7. <\/span><\/b>Who loves and appreciates me for what I am? <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Answer these questions at the start of each week and it will set you up for success.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you need a booster midweek, then by all means answer them again whenever you want to feel centred and remind yourself of what you have got going in your life right now.\u00a0 Writing makes it real.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42
