Take a Break
Sometimes, quitting what you’re doing and taking some rest for a while can be of great help. It helps to take your mind off things and gives you time to gain some retrospect about where you stand and where do you want to go next. This becomes very crucial as ample time and ample rest eases your mind and body and you start feeling relaxed.
The more relaxed you feel, the more confidence you will gain. So go ahead, quit the nagging job and take a break. Jobs will come and go.
Indulge in what you love
Everyone has a hobby. Some may like to write while some may like to paint, some may like to read while some may like watching movies, some may like sporting activities while others might hit the gym.
You also must have a hobby. When you indulge in that your body releases hormones which increases the feeling of happiness and relaxation and thus, increase your confidence. The more you indulge the better you will feel.
In essence, the happiness is generated because your hobby is something you love doing since your childhood and that holds quite an importance in everyone’s life. So go ahead…. INDULGE.
Take a small trip – Getaway
This is a very powerful option when it comes to distracting yourself from your current woes. Take a trip to a peaceful and quiet location like a hill station or a country-side. This will take your mind off the rough times and you will love the change in atmosphere. You can feel light just by looking at the beauties of nature.
It is best to travel alone or with a small bunch of really good friends. This is so because in a crowd, you will unable to really indulge yourself in what the destination has to offer and this will not help you.
So pack light and tee off.
Talk to some one
Everyone has a small circle of trust and one or two people who are intensely close to him. They may be your family, or your BFFs, or your spouse. Shying away from them won’t help. You will feel all the more isolated and ignored and your confidence will decrease all the more.
Instead talk to them, open up to them and you will instantly feel relaxed and light. They will never try to harm you by furnishing you with the incorrect advice. They will provide you with the right kind of advice and motivation because they know you best.
So go ahead and open up to your loved ones.

Rejuvenate with some workout
Physical activity always gives you the adrenaline you need. There is no better way to rejuvenate you other than working out for as less than 30 minutes a day.
This creates an adrenaline rush in your body and boosts your confidence in a bio-chemical way. Also, looking better instantly improves your self- confidence.
So go ahead, lift some weights and run some miles.
Realise that their no success without setbacks
Until and unless you accept this fact in your heart, no method no way will be effective. Every successful person in the world has seen failure and has had a breakdown of confidence but the key is to keep coming back and not giving up.
So never say die and never give up. Keep going, when the time is right… you will get there.
“With confidence, you have won before you have started.”
Confidence is the key to be successful in life. Life is not about succeeding and winning every time but it is about failing, then learning from our mistakes, working on them and finally improving ourselves.
So stop sulking and know that there are still better things out there. Don’t let small things in life break you down. Stay motivated , stay focused and stay confident.
