Top 10 Confidence Building Activities
What’s the first step to improving your confidence? Taking action! Check out our top 10 confidence building activities that you can do today:
1. Plan out your day with a to do list
If you’re anything like us, there is no better feeling than crossing off items on your to do list. Making a list sets yourself up for a productive day. It then gives you the ultimate confidence boost when you see how much you’ve accomplished at the end of the day!
2. Clean out a drawer in your home
Having a clean and tidy space helps free up any mental clutter. Start with that “junk” drawer and get rid of things that no longer serve you. Being organized is an easy way to build your confidence in no time.
3. Listen to music and dance!
Create a confidence boosting playlist and rock out! Choose songs that inspire you and have a dance party. Take a few minutes out of your day, press play and get your body moving. You’ll feel refreshed and more confident than ever!
4. Look good and feel good!
We all know confidence comes from within, but there is something to be said for looking good too! Shower, get dressed and put on whatever makes you feel your best. Enhance your wardrobe and treat yourself to a new piece of clothing that you absolutely love. Put it on and watch your confidence blossom.
5. Smile more
Turn that frown upside down and smile. This simple act naturally boosts your mood and will help brighten your day. Even if you have to fake it at first, do it! Your confidence will thank you later.
6. Help someone out
Take action and help out a friend. It doesn’t need to be a grand gesture. Even just lending a hand will do wonders for your confidence. It will make you feel good to know that you’ve made a difference in someone else's life.
7. Work on your posture
Stand tall with your shoulders back and hold your head up high. It’s an instant confidence boost! You’ll look and feel more confident. Practice your posture throughout the day and notice the empowering feeling it brings to your life.
8. Exercise
Create attainable and realistic exercise goals and your confidence will continue to rise as you achieve them. Exercise has also been proven to increase your mood. So start moving, even for 10 minutes a day, and you’ll feel stronger and more confident than before.
9. Do 1 thing out of your comfort zone each day
Don’t overthink this one. It can be something small like working out 5 minutes longer than usual or reaching out to a new friend. Comfort zones are… comfortable. Naturally you’re going to experience some discomfort and uncertainty. Embrace it and move through it because the reward of confidence is on the other side!
10. Stop procrastinating
It’s time to check off that item that’s been hanging over your head! We all do it. We procrastinate and put off things that we don’t feel like doing. Change that today and force yourself to complete one task you’ve been putting off. You’ll feel productive and more accomplished… hello confidence!
