Self Confidence Exercises

As a gifted five year old, current F1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton was an exceptionally talented kid at school. He was also the smallest kids in his school and was bullied and racially abused by his school mates. Not to take the circumstances as a victim, he dealt with it with extraordinary strength of character at that young age. He took lessons in martial arts and went on to become a black belt holder by the age of twelve. Later on he reported, “It was a horrible time but I told my dad I wanted to start karate so I could learn to protect myself. The bullying stopped and more importantly, I developed self confidence. Some people have naturally high levels of self confidence, while others can definitely develop it. Marcus Garve stated that, “If you have no confidence in self, you are twice defeated in the race of life. With confidence, you have won even before you have started.” Self confidence gives you that freedom to make mistakes and deal with failure without feeling guilty or hopeless about the situation. People who are uncertain about themselves lack in self confidence. This can have devastating effects in your life and result in lower self esteem. Your work might suffer; social life can become painful, meeting new people can become a struggle and can have terrifying experience facing stressful situations. In a nutshell you might be struggling to live a life of your own. But as you require physical exercises to keep your body healthy, your mind also requires exercises. This helps to develop self confidence and personality.
