What makes a WOMAN CONFIDENT?
A confident woman is one who has belief in herself regardless of the circumstances. She faces every obstacle or difficulty to achieve her aim. Her confidence is not seen from the goals she has achieved. Instead, it is seen from her willingness to do work in order to achieve her goals.
Secrets of a confident woman
Out of all the traits, these are the most common traits of a confident woman:
Positive mindset
A confident woman has a positive mindset. You will never see her getting down on herself or complaining about people or situations in her life. She has a habit of living her life fully. In case she does not like something about herself or the situation, she tries to change it. If she can not change it, she changes her attitude towards it.
Confident women mostly see the glass as half full rather than half empty. She never wastes her time feeding her negative thoughts.
Happy
Happiness is one of the most critical aspects of confidence. A confident woman is curious about learning new things and tries to improve herself constantly. But, she is satisfied with who she is while knowing who she is becoming.
A confident woman takes her sense of satisfaction and pleasure from her own achievements. She does not care about what others think of her accomplishments. She understands that no matter what others say, she is not who people think she is.
Sense of self-respect
Confident women believe that they are worthy of getting respect. They have set clear boundaries in their life and do not let people cross them. They respect their body, dreams, decisions and their time. A Confident woman knows that refusing something they do not want is healthy. Their self-respect and self-esteem enables them to refuse without hesitating. When it is time to refuse or reject something, confident women do not use phrases like I am unsure or should I. They say NO clearly and openly because they realise that saying no to something they do not need or want gives them a unique opportunity to fulfil their existing commitments.
Celebrate Others
Confident women focus outward that enables them to see and enjoy all of the characteristics of other people. Unlike insecure women, they do not try to be in the spotlight at all times or criticise others in order to prove their worth. They praise and appreciate other people and make them feel good about their abilities and strengths.
Encouragement and support for others
Confident women nurture and support their family and friends in all their activities. Their energy keeps everyone around them feel energetic, loved and active. They do not let anyone degrade their loved ones. They make positive contributions to their relationships and the overall environment and keep their distance from toxic relationships that fail to bring out the best in them.
Art of communication
Women with high levels of confidence give more importance to listening than speaking. They speak less because they do not have the urge to prove anything to others. Confident women believe that they have better chances to grow and prosper by listening and observing others. They do not see interactions as mere opportunities to prove their worth to others. Instead, their focus is on the communication itself. They make every possible effort to make the interaction more productive and enjoyable. They understand how they should ask for the things they need and want. Also, they listen to others and respond carefully.
Active participation
Confident women seek out every victory. They challenge themselves, compete, put in their best efforts, and then celebrate every small victory. When you enjoy a win, your brain develops new androgen receptors that further keep it motivated. And this ultimately boosts your confidence and enables you to tackle more challenges. A series of victories, no matter how small, can keep you motivated for months. Confident women try out new and exciting things. They know that they can not perform well all the time, but that is perfectly fine with them.
Avoid seeking attention
Seriously, nobody appreciates people who are just desperate for attention. When it comes to confident women, they realise that being themselves is crucial as people are attracted to it. They are experts at dealing with the attention. If they are given attention for achievement, they try to shift their focus to everyone who helped them get there. In short, they do not yearn for praise or approval by posting odd pictures on social media and giving every single detail of their life for few comments on Instagram because their self-worth originates from within.
learn from mistakes
Like every other person, confident people also make mistakes. What makes them different is that they use mistakes as learning opportunities. And, do not repeat them. Confident women never hesitate to accept their mistakes. They put their belief out there to check if it holds up. They learn from others if they are wrong and help others learn from them if they are right.
Ambition
Ambition is a trait of confident women. They avoid passing judgments on the people around them because they understand that everyone is unique. They do not try to degrade others so as to feel better about themselves.
Confident women know that comparing their abilities with others will only limit them. So, they are focused on running their own race. They do not waste their time wondering if they live up to others’ expectations or not. Instead, they are very ambitious and always have constructive ideas for their future. Their ambition gives them the motivation to set and work for new goals.
Clarity in thoughts
You might not have seen any confident person doubting themselves or their decisions. The reason is they are assertive. They know that people will not find them trustworthy if they are unsure about their ideas or opinions. That is why they make sure to deliver their views with conviction.
Ask for help
You might think that a confident woman never asks for help. But, that is not the case at all. Confident women realise that asking others for help does not make them appear foolish or weak. They understand their strengths and weaknesses and do not hesitate to look to their friends for help. They are always willing to learn from someone with more knowledge or expertise.
You need to understand that confidence is not something that you cannot have. However, if you do not have confidence, it can hamper your growth and progress.
In order to realise your full potential, you have to master the art of confidence.
