Help me boost my confidence

[TidaQuel]

Although shy, I used to be very confident but it just seems to have slipped away without me realising. Juggling 3 children, home and work doesn’t leave much time for much else. I was made redundant a couple of years ago from a long term, 15 year position. Struggled to find work but have now been there just over a year. The jobs ok, big change from my previous role and not very exciting. I feel very lonely there. I’ve had some great results great feedback but been told several time’s to be more confident. But how? I’ve suffered with quite bad anxiety since I’ve been there, partly through feeling vulnerable and pretty much starting over in a completely new field. Others around me with anxiety seem to have triggered it in me, if that’s possible.

I’m mid 40s, over weight, poor and frumpy 😔

Hi
Have a look at some ted talks on confidence and google the ted talk on fake it till you make it.
Also body language , power posing.

Confidence is about bluffing sometimes.

Also figure out your story ..... how to tell your story , google that it will bring up some videos

I’m the same as you! I’ve bought a book called Boost supercharge your confidence by Jasmin Kirkbride. It has snippets of information and quotes. When I feel that I’m lacking in confidence i read some, for me it really helps. One saying that I like is “ Happiness does not depend on what you have or who you are. It solely relies on what you think.
