Your Smile
Your face and especially your lips are the first place that you should wear your confidence. Your smile says more about you than you can imagine. Wear a smile on your lips as often as you can, learn to smile, smile when you say hello to people, learn to find something to smile about. When you become conscious of this, it will be a surprise to you to find that there are more things to smile about than to frown about. A smile brightens up your day and makes someone else feel much better. In short, you can never go wrong with a smile.
Find Something to Admire in Yourself
Look for your best qualities and admire them. When someone gives you a compliment, accept it, don’t be suspicious or begin analyzing whether they really meant it or what they really meant. A compliment is just that, a compliment. Stop deflecting praise!
Frequently asked questions
Check That Posture
It is common knowledge that your pose, posture and stance say a lot about what you think about yourself. It is easy to read your attitude from your posture and the way you carry yourself. Do not slouch, walk upright and with your head held high, stand tall and make others take notice that you are there.
Good posture is one of the key elements of wearing your confidence. It is a nonverbal sign of self-respect and self-assurance that can be seen from across the room. Walking with your head held high and shoulders back conveys an air of self-assurance and pride.
Poor posture, on the other hand, can make you look and feel insecure. Slouching can make it seem like you don’t care about yourself or your appearance. It can also cause physical pain and lead to long-term health problems.
To keep your posture in check, it’s important to practice good posture habits. When standing, keep your feet shoulder-width apart and your back straight. When sitting, make sure your feet are flat on the floor and your back is against the back of the chair. When walking, keep your head up and your shoulders back.
It’s also important to pay attention to your body language. The way you carry yourself can have a big impact on how you are perceived. Crossing your arms, for example, can make you seem closed off and unapproachable. On the other hand, keeping your arms open can make you look more inviting and approachable.
Be Yourself
Ok, you really don’t want to be someone else, you will end up being a poor imitation of someone else. You have unique qualities and features, focus on these and celebrate them. Love who you are and let others see and know the real you -- no pretense or gimmicks, just you.
Do What You Love
When you are happy, there is a glow about you that radiates from within you. When you are doing something that you love, you are confident and happy and it will become obvious to everyone else.

Be Friendly
Wear your confidence in your approach to people and in the way you relate with them. Say hello, make conversations and learn about others. Make eye contact when you talk to people and don’t shy away from meeting new people. You are interesting and fascinating and people deserve to know you.
A Splash O’ Colour
Colour gives beauty to things and makes them vibrant and full of life. Don’t blend into the background. Dull colours make life boring and dreary and sour your mood, so it doesn’t matter the season or weather, adding that splash of colour will always brighten up your day. Wearing colour is a great way to wear your confidence.
Develop a Great and Positive Attitude
How you respond to situations matter. Don’t let anyone make you feel inferior. Write out your great attributes and affirm them over and over again and believe them. There isn’t much you can do about what is around you but there is a lot you can do about how you respond to situations around you. So keep that smile and great attitude.
Look Great
We all know the impact of great fitting outfits on our confidence, so invest in clothes, shoes and items that make you feel sexy and watch the confidence increase. Just be careful, you don’t want to end up a shopaholic. So look great, smell great, be great and let the world take note of you.
"You are as amazing as you let yourself be. Let me repeat that. You are as amazing as you let yourself be." – Elizabeth Alraune.
