How to build trust: the 5 main keys
Trust is the master key to making all your dreams come true, even in the midst of trials and tribulations. Here are the top 5 keys that show you how to build trust if this is an area you’re having trouble with. Once you master these keys and build your self-confidence, all doors that were previously closed to you will open.
I’m sure there are extremely confident people you know or have seen. People you’ve said you’d like to be like. How did you know they were informers? Maybe it was because of the way they spoke or behaved. Self-confidence is especially evident through someone’s speech and also their body language.
Everyone is capable of learning self-confidence. This is not something that everyone has to be born with. We’ve all had events in our lives that have knocked our confidence down, but it’s time to get it back.
1.Self-concept
To build self-confidence, the first step is to change the way you think about yourself. You will need to examine your self-image to determine what your counterproductive ideas about yourself are. Stop programming yourself for failure with your own image and what you say about yourself.
It’s time to reprogram yourself and one way to do that is to replace all negative thoughts about yourself with positive ones. This can be difficult to do at first, but it is very important and will need to be done daily.
You have to realize that if you don’t believe that you are worth it, you will never achieve anything worthwhile and your dreams will remain exactly that: dreams. Make building your self-confidence a priority.
2. Body language
Be aware of how you are using your body because your body language says a lot to others. For example, when you cross your arms over your body, it means to others that you are closed or nervous and not confident in yourself.
People are always evaluating your body language in social situations and it’s always important to be aware of how you present yourself. Crossing your arms, slouching, not making eye contact all send negative messages to others.
3. Change the environment
Look around you and see who you surround yourself with or the environment in which you find yourself. Do people or the environment support building trust or is it negative? Do all your friends speak negatively? Misery loves company! If you feel miserable and mistreated at your job, it may be time to change jobs.
Do your friends or family sow seeds of discouragement and doubt by saying that you will never be able to achieve your dreams or improve yourself? If so, they are spirit vampires and you will need to make the decision to limit your contact with them or to stay away from them completely.
Building your self-esteem and confidence is a very important task that involves what you hear. Hear the right things and watch your confidence build little by little.
Venture into new surroundings and make new friends who don’t know you and have not made judgments about you and have no preconceived notions about you.
4. Practice, practice, practice
Being confident requires daily practice. You may have to “fake it till you make it”. You have to create new habits every day to replace all the confidence-destroying habits you’ve practiced in the past.
Whether you believe it or not, at the beginning of building trust, you have to act with confidence. Practice the speech patterns and body language of a confident person you know or have seen. If you do it long enough, it will become second nature to you.
5. Make achieving your dreams your main focus.
Have you given up on your dreams? Do you think you will never reach them? It’s time to believe in yourself again and believe that you can achieve anything. As the saying goes, if you think you’ll never make it, you’re right! The reverse is also true, if you think nothing is impossible, guess what, you’re right!
Too many people have given up on their dreams. They have simply stopped trying due to a lack of confidence to continue the pursuit of their dreams and happiness.
Being confident means persevering through one obstacle after another.
