Confidence is one of the key factors that determine success in life. It doesn’t matter whether you are a high-school student, a fresher in college, or a newly passed out hoping to land your dream job, your self-confidence level will help you achieve your educational goals as well as your career growth.

College life is one of the most important phases in a student’s life. It is much more competitive and can be very challenging for young adults who leave the comfort of their school life and enter into a completely new environment in college. 

Some students who are extremely shy or hesitant often fail to interact or connect with other fellow students and find it difficult to settle in the new environment. On the other hand, being confident will help you get noticed among friends, perform better, and is good for your emotional health and personal well-being.

Having said that, one must remember that building self-confidence is a gradual process and takes time. Let us now explore a few ways that will help you believe in yourself and be more productive in your life. 

What is Self-Confidence?

Self-confidence is believing or trusting in one’s own capabilities regardless of how others think of you or your own imperfections.

Self-confidence and self-esteem compliment each other and the latter happens when you start to respect yourself and are ready to take on new challenges, accept setbacks or rejection, and stand up for your dignity and rights. 

8 Easy Tips to Boost your Confidence:

People who suffer from low self-worth or confidence are constantly judging their capabilities and fail to achieve success in their lives. On the contrary, confident people are not only successful, but are happier, make positive choices, are good leaders, and encourage others around them. Let us now have a look into some of the ways to boost our confidence level.

• Accept Your Flaws

The first step in building a positive image is to accept your strengths as well as the weaknesses. Nobody is born perfect. Self-acceptance will help you embrace your flaws and overcome your fear. It will also help you to understand the nature of your weakness and overcome it. For example, you want to pursue a career in singing but the mere thought of performing on stage makes you anxious. Well, you definitely do not want to give up your dreams. To control nervousness, start performing in small groups or family gatherings. This will help you overcome your fear in no time.

• Practice Self-Praise

Now that you know about your flaws, it's time to focus on your achievements. Review your past awards and achievements. Stop comparing yourself with others and focus less on what others think of you. Motivate yourself with positive affirmations. Every morning once you wake up, take a piece of paper and write down a few of your achievements or positive statements about you. We all are born with some natural gifts. Embrace them and your uniqueness will be your greatest strength. 

• Work on your Body Language

Your body language can speak a million words even if you don’t. Stop branding yourself as a shy and awkward person. Believe that you are a confident person and start acting like one. Always take an open posture, stand straight, and do not slouch while you are talking to someone. Wear a smile. It gives out positive vibes and makes you look more composed and confident. If you are an introvert and shy away from face-to-face communication, it's time to take action. Engage more with people and do not avoid eye contact. You may be hesitant in the beginning but will gradually gain confidence.

• Dress Up

Confidence comes with physical care. Some people are too conscious about their body especially those who are suffering from obesity or any physical deformity. Smart outfits and accessories will boost your inner confidence and give you a sense of authority. For students who are going for campus placements or job interviews, you must work on your self-image and dress up professionally. Do regular exercises. They are great stress busters and will help to tone your body muscles and make you look more confident.

• Set Goals

It is important to set goals. Try out new things that you are passionate about like music, dance, art classes, etc. Make personal changes that make you feel better. Attend seminars and workshops and learn about new things. Try to meet challenges that you have never tried before or been afraid to do like rock climbing or horse riding. This will make you believe that nothing is impossible.

• Be Assertive

Shy people often speak in a very low voice. Speak out loudly, take a seat in the front row, and make yourself visible to others. If you are being bullied in school, college, or at your workplace, it's time to take action. Confront them and talk to them and make them believe that their actions are harmful. Set personal boundaries. Take charge of your life. Do not let others harm your mental peace and well-being.

• Surround Yourself with Like-minded People

Surround yourself with friends that make you feel comfortable and happy about yourself. You are not here to please everyone. Spend time with people who appreciate and encourage you. Distance yourself from toxic people who harm your mental peace. Join social groups or activity clubs and indulge yourself in programs and events which will bring the best out of you.

• Learn to Take Rejections

You must learn to take rejections and criticisms. Sometimes your professor may point out a mistake or a friend may make a harsh comment. Try to take criticism constructively and use it to improve yourself. Avoid missing lectures simply because you are not good on that subject or you are afraid of the faculty. This will only worsen the situation and make you more nervous.

Let confidence do the talking for you!

Common mistakes in an entrance examination and how to avoid

Even the mention of college entrance examination is enough to stress many students out these days. Extreme competition and the pressure to perform well to secure admission to a good college are to be blamed for this. However, these are required to be dealt with as getting into a good college and preferred course is the first step towards a successful career. 

But the sheer stress that comes along with the preparations often lead to some uncalled-for mistakes in the entrance exam, thereby narrowing down the chances of getting selected. This is the reason why the students need to be extra careful and avoid making those mistakes.  

Here we list out some common mistakes that students tend to make during an entrance examination and need to be avoided at any cost for a better future.

Not Reading Questions Properly

Often students don’t read the question paper correctly, majorly due to stress and in the hurry to complete all the questions. This can lead to misunderstanding or misinterpreting a question and consequently a wrong answer, thereby jeopardising your chances to score well.

Stay calm, take time to read all the questions carefully before you start answering. This would help prevent unnecessary mistakes and ensure a higher probability of doing well in the entrance test. 

Unplanned answering

A very basic step to do well in your entrance test or any other exam is to have a well-planned strategy. Without that, often students tend to get scared in the examination hall, fail to complete all the questions and fare badly. 

Learn some time saving tactics during your preparations and mock tests. This would be extremely helpful in choosing which questions to answer first and completing the entire paper on time. 

Panicking Too Much

Another common mistake that students tend to make during the entrance test is to panic. Agreed, it is obvious to get stressed; but panicking too much wouldn’t do any good either. Rather, panic would lead to wrong answers or slowing down the pace of answering, both of which can ruin your chances of faring well.   

So, take hold of your mind, stay positive, believe in your strength and preparations, let go of unnecessary panic. Answering the questions will be much easier. 

Not Keeping Time for Revision

In an entrance exam, not only do you have to answer each question correctly, but avoid silly mistakes too. This is necessary because silly mistakes can cost you some marks unnecessarily. This is where revision of the answer script comes handy, to identify and correct those mistakes, Despite the obvious pressure to perform well, therefore, keeping aside some time for revision is needed. So, plan well beforehand, follow a strategy in attempting and answering the questions in a way that you have some time left in hand. This would surely be helpful. 

Lack of Sleep

Often students don’t sleep well on the night before the entrance test, due to the pressure they deal with and in an attempt to use the time to study further. But in turn, not having proper sleep and rest can affect you mentally and physically as well. That creates more stress and panic, leading to unnecessary mistakes and irrational thought processes, ruining your chances of scoring well. 

Here you need to remember that adequate sleep is important for improved brain functioning and stronger memory. So, make sure to rest well on the night before the exam. 

Final Note

All of these mistakes are common, yet avoidable. So, make sure you are not making them. Wish you a good performance and a bright future!
