The Power of Positive Thinking and Self Confidence
THE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING AND SELF CONFIDENCE
Positive thinking, or healthy, aggressive, solution-focused behavior, follows from positive thinking. This includes setting goals, solving problems, interacting assertively with others, taking calculated risks to achieve success, and creating a balanced lifestyle. Taking positive action keeps us driven to accomplish the objectives we set for ourselves, which has many positive effects. These include feeling content, gaining a stronger sense of self-efficacy or “I can” confidence and control, improving relationships with others and our health, handling challenges more skillfully, and learning from mistakes.
THE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING AND SELF CONFIDENCE
What is positive thinking?
“Positive thinking” is the practice of thinking in a realistic, reasonable, balanced, solution-focused, and constructive way about both the outside world and ourselves.
As a result, thinking positively raises our self-esteem and has been shown to enhance our emotions, well-being, and problem-solving skills.
What is self-confidence?
Self-confidence is a mindset on your aptitudes and competencies. It indicates that you feel in charge of your life and that you accept and trust who you are. You have a good self-image and are aware of your strengths and weaknesses. You can take constructive criticism well, speak assertively, and set reasonable expectations and goals.
Conversely, poor self-confidence can cause you to lack confidence in yourself, behave passively or submissively, or find it difficult to put your trust in other people. It’s possible that you feel inadequate, unwanted, or easily offended. Depending on the circumstances, you could not feel.
