What is confidence? You can't see it, touch it or buy it; however, you can feel in with in and see it in other people. It's an energy and a belief system about yourself that is similar to a muscle, growing and getting stronger or shrinking and weakening. What would you try if you had more confidence? How would it change your life? Most people are confident in some areas of their life compared to others. Here are a few tips to gain confidence in any areas of your life. YOUR BODY Our bodies react to our emotions. Think about how you hold yourself when you are sad, depressed, excited or in love. Stand taller, shoulders back, chin up. Get your body to respond and you will begin to feel it from the neck up. MODEL Find someone talented in area you want to learn or master, someone who exhibits the confidence you desire. Then simply do what they do, study them like an actor or actress does before a movie is filmed. Act like you are them until your own confidence n this new area becomes your own. Get into character! MUSIC Ever notice how music can evoke emotions? What songs energize you and make you feel good about yourself? Is it the words or the beat? Make yourself a playlist for your ipod or create a CD. Listen to your music selection and get yourself into peak mental condition for the task at hand, whether it's making a much needed phone call, giving a presentation or entering into any new environment. DRESS Got a favorite pair of jeans or heels? Like the way you feel in certain suits? It might be because it's the perfect color for your eyes, in style or fits you like a glove. Wear whatever makes you feel like a million bucks! Confidence comes with time and stretching beyond your comfort zone. You've gained this self assurance in many areas of your life throughout your life time. Take stock in what you have done; your success. Gain a little more confidece in other areas of your life that you've only dreamed about until today.

One summer while I was on vacation from college I became a tin man: selling aluminum siding and roofing door to door in the Boston area. The business has a bad reputation but our siding and our roofs were the finest available. Our prices were high but fair.
