Developing your own self-confidence will allow you to do extraordinary things. That is why it is so important to work on your self-confidence every day.

These strategies may be simple, but each will have a very positive effect on your self-confidence. You can incorporate them gradually, only use some of them, or adopt them all. As you do, you will find that your confidence will grow steadily, and with it your results will improve.

1. Smile Have you ever tried to think negatively or act sad while smiling? You can’t. It is impossible! Smiling triggers and releases endorphins in the brain, which send a wave of happiness through your entire body. Barbara Johnson said, “A smile is the lighting system of the face and the heating system of the heart.” So smile often. You will feel more confident and you will look better too.

2. Make eye contact This may seem like such a small thing, but unconfident people look down or look away when they are with others. Confident people make eye contact and engage with others. The eye is the window to the soul. When you make eye contact you connect to others deeply.

3. Introduce yourself When you are with other people, introduce yourself. This may take you out of your comfort zone at first. GOOD! You will be amazed at the positive people you will meet and the new friends you will gain.

4. Be thankful It is easy to throw pity-parties and feel that our situation is unbearable. Regardless of how bad you may think your circumstances are there is probably someone worse off than you. Put things into perspective. Volunteer at a hospital or a shelter. Change your outlook and start to recognize the good in your life. We all have a lot to be thankful for, and when we are grateful our reality changes, because our perspective has changed. One of the things my wife and I do is to keep a gratitude journal. In it we record something everyday that we are grateful for. This little exercise keeps us on track. 5. Change your posture When you think confidently you will notice that you stand a little taller, you raise your head a little higher, and sit a little straighter. Inversely, when you change your posture you will change your perception. Stand tall. Lift your head up. This isn’t like your mom getting on you for bad posture; this is because you have every reason in the world to stand tall.

6. Choose a theme song This may seem like a strange suggestion but music has an amazing ability to invoke emotion. You have seen sports teams warm up to “pump up” music, so why don’t you. Before you go into a sales meeting, give a presentation, run a race, face the world, whatever, listen to a song that will spur the emotion you need. Find your theme song – play it loud. This is a fun way to build confidence.

f relationships and men chasing women go back to the Stone Age. When a caveman wanted his girl, he would usually clobber her over the head and drag her away. Since then, things have progressed a great deal. In the United States, as well as other countries, we are allowed to pick and chose who we would like to engage in intimate relationships with. Women have especially come a long way in this department. They no longer need to let a man court them. The tables have turned a little and they are able to chase after them without someone saying it’s wrong. I strongly feel that because of women’s strong roles in the dating field, men have become less confident, and therefore have problems approaching them. Women, especially sexy ones, can be very intimidating.

Here are some ways to be able to approach, flirt, and seduce a woman with confidence.

1. Take some deep breaths before you make your move.

2. As you approach her, let your smile beam through and remember that you are in control at this moment.

3. Do not feel nervous because although you may not see it, she is probably just as nervous seeing you approach her.

4. Think of what you are going to say before you make your move, so your words flow freely and you do not stumble.

5. And lastly, look her in the eye. DO NOT look down or away to make your approach seem distracted.

There are still many ways to gain confidence in attracting and seducing wome, of all kinds. However, these ways listed above may be a good start. Just remember that you are in control when you are approaching the woman. Your actions speak for themselves. Be confident in yourself and with all you can offer the woman of your dreams and the ‘dating game’ may be easier!
