Define Self-Confidence

 Self-confidence is the belief that you can handle a certain situation correctly.
Self-confidence is knowing that you don't lack any of the necessary skills in order
to successfully complete a task. This task could vary from a social activity like
being able to approach someone you don't know, to a professional activity like
the ability to complete a certain task that your work or your business needs.

Sources of Self – Confidence

The confidence an individual feels during a particular activity or situation is


generally derived from one or more of the following six elements:

1. Performance accomplishments 

The strongest contributor to self confidence. When you perform any skill
successfully, you will generate confidence and be willing to attempt something
slightly more difficult. Skill learning should be organized into a series of tasks that
progress gradually and allow you to master each step before progressing on to
the next. Personal success breeds confidence, while repeated personal failure
diminishes it.

2. Being involved with the success of others 

Significantly bolster your confidence, especially if you believe that the


performer you are involved with (e.g. a team-mate) closely matches your own
qualities or abilities. In effect, it evokes the reaction: "if they can do it, I can do it".

3. Verbal persuasion 

Is a means of attempting to change the attitudes and behavior of those


around us, and this includes changing their self-confidence. Example, In sport,
coaches often try to boost confidence by convincing athletes that the challenge
ahead is within their capabilities: "I know you are a great player so keep your
head up and play hard". An individual for this matter might reinforce this by
repeating the message over and over to him or herself as a form of self-
persuasion. A tip here is to avoid stating what you want in the negative; so, rather
than "'I really don't want to come off second best" try "I really want to win this
one". Accordingly, your mind will not need to consider what is not required in
order to arrive at what is.
4. Imagery experiences 

Individuals recreating multi-sensory images of successful performance in


their mind. Through creating such mental representations, mastery of a particular
task or set of circumstances is far more likely. What you see is what you get.

5. Physiological states 

Reduces feelings of confidence through phenomena such as muscular


tension, palpitations and butterflies in the stomach. The bodily sensations
associated with competition need to be perceived as being facilitative to
performance and this can be achieved through the application of appropriate
stress management interventions such as the "five breath technique" and
"thought-stopping".

6. Emotional states 

Is the final source of self-confidence and relates to how you control the
emotions associated with competition, such as excitement and anxiety. Very
often, the importance of the occasion creates self-doubt, which is why it is
essential to control your thoughts and emotions. Learning imagery and
concentration skills will help.

Contribution of Self-Efficacy to Self-Confidence

Contribution of Self-Esteem to Self-Confidence

Self-esteem is a balanced and unexaggerated self respect. It combines a healthy


regard for self with an equally healthy respect for others.  Those with healthy self
esteem are respectful to everyone, irrespective of their position or status in the society.

A healthy level of self confidence and self image is not only necessary. It
is essential for any kind of success we seek achieve. Only when you’re comfortable with
who you are and confident in what you can do, will other people believe in you and your
abilities. This applies both to your personal as well as your professional life. 

For those who experience the day-to-day effects of low self confidence it is a
very real and troubling issue. The fact is that it dramatically reduces your chances for
success in life due to its far reaching negative consequences.  No matter how badly you
may want something, a lack of self confidence will always work against you and
undermine your efforts. Low self confidence manifests itself in behaviors that continue
to make you feel under-valued and unappreciated. Therefore, a lack of healthy self
confidence will prevent you from growing, evolving and reaching your goals.

NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE EFFECTS OF SELF CONFIDENCE

Our self-esteem can fluctuate as we grow and experience new hurdles in life.
Teenagers are more apt to suffer low self-esteem as they struggles to handle changes
in their bodies, world and even personality. This is a time when these young adults are
struggling to figure out if they are capable enough to handle what life will throw at them
in the future.

People with low self-confidence are the complete opposite. They often sport a
negative outlook on life and themselves; tend to fear new experiences because they
lack the feeling that they can accomplish or handle anything outside of their normal
routine; use a lot of energy to maintain a false positive image of themselves; and tend to
worry excessively and be overly sensitive to criticism.

Those with high self-confidence can become arrogant, believing that their way
is the only way and that everything they do is perfect, while those who suffer low self
esteem may find it difficult to conquer new challenges and find themselves stuck in
unhappy jobs and relationships because they lack the courage and strength to move on
to something better.

       
Self-confidence means confidence that you can successfully do things. If you are
self-confident you believe in your ability to accomplish the things that you set out to do.
You can have high confidence in some areas while having low confidence in other
areas. For example, you may feel confident in your ability to do well at work, but you
lack confidence when it comes to building and maintaining deep and fulfilling
relationships.
    
Your level of self-confidence affects how well you manage to accomplish
whatever it is that you're trying to do. A person who is confident that she will pass an
interview is much more likely to do so than a person who does not believe that she will
be able to do it. Self-confidence thus affects your success in life in a very practical way.
Different Factors that affects Self-Confidence

A. physical
B. psychological
 Self-Defeating Thought Patterns

Subscribing to these harmful assumptions leaves you vulnerable to the following


self-defeating thought patterns:

1. All or nothing thinking.


“I am a total failure when my performance is not perfect." - Seeing only
dark clouds. Disaster lurks around every corner and comes to be expected. 

2. Magnification of negative.
Minimization of positive. Good things don't count nearly as much as bad
ones.

3. Uncritical acceptance of emotions as truth.


“I feel/ ugly so it must be true."

4. Overemphasis on "should" statements.


"Should" statements are often perfectionistic and reflective of others'
expectations rather than expressive of your own wants and desires. 

5. Labeling.
Labeling is a simplistic process and often conveys a sense of blame. 

6. Difficulty accepting compliments. 

C. Social

1. Peer pressure
2. Insecurity
3. Lack of mindset. 
4. Lack of social support
5. Afraid to make mistakes.

D. Culture

1. Gender

E. Demonstrate ways to build self confidence when facing the challenges in life.
"BOOSTING A FRIEND'S SELF-CONFIDENCE"

Objective: To help boost a friend's self-confidence by making him/her aware of his/her good
attributes and characteristics.

1. Ask the class to form a group with at least 10 members.


2. Let them sit as a circle.
3. Ask each group to get a piece of paper. Any clean or scratch paper will do. As long as there is
a space to write on.
4. Instruct each member of the group to write their names on their paper respectively.
5. As the facilitator gives the cue, each member must pass his/her paper to the person at his/her
right.
6. The person who receives the paper, will write a positive attribute s/he has observed from the
owner of that paper. So on and so forth.
7. This will continue until the paper has been rotated and returned back to their respective
owners. 
8. By this time, the owner(s) of the paper(s) will be given ample time to read and initialize the
compliments his/her group mates have written about him/her.
