How Be The Star Of Your Life!

Is a lack of confidence holding you back in life? When you walk into a room, do you often feel more like an extra in somebody else’s film? Well, it’s time to take the reins and find your sparkle!

Whatever the situation – whether at a party or at work – you can overcome your nerves and let your inner radiance shine through, says Doreen Virtue, author of Don’t Let Anything Dull Your Sparkles. “Your sparkle is your inner glow,” she explains. “It comes out naturally when you’re enthusiastic about life. Think of happy children, laughing and being themselves. Those children sparkle and so can you.”

1 Super-change Your Self- Image

“Instead of dwelling on your perceived flaws, think about your good qualities,” says psychologist Anjula Mutanda. “What do you like about yourself? Pick just one physical and one personal quality you’ve been complimented on – your eyes, your smile, your kindness or your quick thinking? This tricks your brain into operating more positively. Practise this repeatedly and it will become a habit.”

2 Try Confident Communication

Feeling anxious and lost for words is not a great feeling but there are ways to set yourself up for success. Visualise positive outcomes and it will make your brain expect positive outcomes, explains Anjula. “Imagining you are confident will help you to be confident,” she says. The only difference between a socially confident person and an anxious one is the story they tell themselves before they enter a room. A self-assured person thinks it will be fine; an anxious person thinks it will be terrible. So, take control of your thoughts, decide you’ll be able to communicate confidently and you will.
