Sometimes we might need a quick boost of confidence. Here are some actionable ideas that work quickly when you need a shot of confidence:

1. Create a Personal Mission Statement. Keep a copy with you and read it several times during the day. (What do you do? Why do you do it?)
2. Make and replay your “true vision” (mental movie trailer that shows you achieving your goals) in your mind.
3. List Your 5 Greatest Accomplishments. Read it. Remember how you felt when you did those things.
4. Write down 5 “things” you are grateful for.
5. Smile again. Keep smiling.
6. Keep a “Success” notebook (app?) and write down what you accomplish(ed) during the day.
7. Fix your posture. Stand up straight. Get in a power pose for 2 minutes.
8. Write down your daily positive affirmations. Read them out loud. Check out this Inc.com article for mine: 9 Affirmations the Most Successful People Repeat Each and Every Day

And if none of these ideas work, read an uplifting story, or a powerful quote, or meditate. Actions create success. Positive actions create confidence as well as success.
