61: 20 Ways to Boost Your Confidence

Today’s episode is from a video that I recorded for my Teen Catalyst group on Facebook about how to become more confident in any situation.

Here are 20 crazy things to try to boost your confidence. (Plus five bonus confidence boosters!)

1. Get naked
2. In the privacy of your own home, please!
3. This can help you to become more confident in your own skin
4. Do something crazy that is out of character for you
5. Pick something that is totally out of your league
6. Learn something new
7. Pick something that you don’t feel super confident in, and dive in
8. Take a stand-up comedy class
9. If you can learn to laugh at yourself and make others laugh too, it can really boost your confidence
10. Get in shape without joining a traditional gym
11. Go running, learn martial arts, or take a dancing class
12. These are great ways to help yourself to get in shape without doing something traditional
13. Subtly flirt with others
14. Flirting can be fun (and scary), so don’t be afraid to strut your stuff sometimes
15. Join a good charitable cause
16. When you help other people, you feel good that you contributed to someone else’s betterment
17. Join the selfie crusade
18. Take good selfies; take bad selfies; take crazy selfies, and share them!
19. Go somewhere where nobody will recognize you and cut loose
20. Be bold, laugh out loud, sing, dance!
21. Sing karaoke
22. They say singing releases the feel-good endorphins
23. Teach a class
24. It doesn’t matter what it is, just try teaching something to somebody
25. You learn better when you teach; first, you observe, then you participate, then you teach, and that is when the learning really sinks in and sticks
26. Host a roast
27. Select a few candidates, say some nice things about them, and then roast them with embarrassing stories and jokes
28. Make sure you have permission from the people you’re going to roast before you roast them
29. Find a mentor
30. Pick someone who inspires you to do more and to be better in life
31. Throw a pity party
32. But don’t let it last for more than a couple of minutes
33. Host or attend a meet-and-greet event in your area
34. This can be super scary (especially for introverts), but just go and do it!
35. Document (on social media) your progress of becoming a more confident person
36. The feedback that people will give you will be encouraging; people love to help other people
37. Dump the drama and the toxicity
38. Stop creating or feeding into drama and remove those toxic people from your life
39. Expect the best and believe that it will happen
40. Don’t think about “what if’s”, but focus on what you’ll gain with the positive outcome
41. Be defiant
42. Sometimes you need to break the rules
43. But don’t be disrespectful in doing it,
44. don’t break laws, and
45. don’t hurt people
46. Own your flaws
47. Being self-aware reduces how other people’s thoughts affect you
48. Celebrate your successes
49. We often only see our failures, but we need to celebrate our success too
50. Dress like the person you want to be
51. If you want to wear bright lipstick, wear bright lipstick!
52. Be bold, be confident
53. Mirror the actions of other confident people
54. Acknowledge and understand that failures happen
55. Failure is an acceptable part of learning
56. If you’re not failing, you’re not trying
57. Stop being nice
58. Set firm boundaries and stick to them!
59. Don’t worry about upsetting other people all the time
