For some men, confidence comes naturally while others struggle to find it within themselves. The good news is that you don’t have to go through life without confidence; it’s a skill that you can build over time with practice and effort. Having confidence and a strong sense of self-worth opens many doors and opportunities, both personally and professionally. If you’re looking to build confidence that won’t break, then we’ve got you covered: 

Prioritize Self-Care 

Prioritizing your physical and mental health is essential for building long-lasting confidence. When you’re properly taking care of yourself, you can go out into the world with complete confidence because you feel good from the inside out. Slacking on our self-care leads us to feeling sluggish and unmotivated, resulting in us feeling down in the dumps about our lives. Self-care doesn’t have to be time consuming and take up your whole day; going for a 30 minute walk outside and incorporating a 5 minute skincare routine does wonders to improve your mental clarity. 

Get Rid of Self-Deprecation 

A lack of confidence often stems from the way we talk about ourselves – if we’re constantly putting ourselves down, then we’re not going to be able to take action in our daily lives with confidence. It can be difficult to rewire our brain if we’re used to self-deprecating thoughts taking up so much space, but it’s possible by reframing these thoughts with a more positive approach. This process takes time, however, the end result is worth the energy. 

Don’t Wait For The Perfect Moment

Some of us push off bettering ourselves because we don’t feel ready and are waiting for the perfect time, but the time will never be 100% right – you just have to go for it anyways. Waiting for the perfect moment kills our confidence because you will never feel completely ready, and that’s a harsh truth that many of us don’t want to hear. Confidence grows from taking action and proving to yourself that you are capable of success and navigating challenges. Your confidence is waiting for you on the other side, but you have to conquer your fears first. 

Confidence doesn’t happen magically, but you can instill confidence in yourself and change your life for the better through these tips. Maybe you’ve always dreamed of being a confident and self-assured man – you can get there, it doesn’t have to be a dream. Having confidence doesn’t mean that you’re a perfect person; in fact, it means that you recognize you’re not perfect and are comfortable with yourself anyway.
