1. Start a Journal:
There are many free journaling programs available online. My personal favorite, simply as a journal, is RedNotebook, but any one of the many offering will do. When you write down your small successes everyday, then look back at the end of the week, you’ll soon begin to see that you capabilities are greater than you expected.
Keep a small notebook in your pocket, or bag and make short notes about all of your little achievements; small things like making someone smile unexpectedly, or finishing a report 30 minutes early, etc. All these sorts of things happen on a daily basis, but we’re usually blind to the importance they can have on our level of confidence.
You should also note down anything that didn’t turn out exactly the way you planned. You can then look at it later and try to discover the reasons why, then you can steer clear of those distractions, or problems next time.
2. Avoid trying to be perfect.
3. Think positively.
No matter what fate has befallen your attempts to be a success at something, there’s always a positive to take from your apparent ‘failure’. Sometimes, you may have almost ‘made it’, but one little thing let you down. Instead of seeing the whole experience as a failure, celebrate the positive things that have happened, and vow to change the things that didn’t go as well.
Sometimes, it may seem as though nothing good came of your attempt, well in that case, your positive is that you triumphed in discovering what didn’t work, so you’ll do it better next time. Some of the greatest minds of our time were abject failures!
