How to build Confidence (Part 2) This is the second part of  https://nomadicthoughts1.blogspot.com/2020/04/how-to-build-confidence-part-1.html . So if you didn't seen previous part then please see part 1. (The 2nd part is yet to come. So do watch it in later future.) Part 2 of 3: 1.Thinking Confidently. Recognize your talents and good qualities and write them down. No matter how down you feel, try to pat yourself on the back a little and remember the things you excel at. Focusing on your better attributes will distract you from perceived flaws and boost your sense of worth. Think of your good qualities in looks, friendships, talents, and most of all, personality. Think back on compliments from other people. What have they told you about you that you otherwise haven't noticed or acknowledged? Maybe they've remarked on your smile, or your ability to stay cool and collected in stressful situations. Remember past accomplishments. It can be something ot...

How to build Confidence (Part 1)

Confidence is a very tricky little thing. Feeling good about yourself is so easy to put at the will of others when it should only be up to you. The good news is that you're driving this self-assurance train and it's ready to depart from the station. Note:- (I am making separate parts in "How to build Confidence" because it is quite long. So do watch my other parts in future) Part  1  of 3: Appearing Confident 1 Look the part.  If you know that you look like a confident, capable person, eventually you'll start to feel like a winner, too. You should dress how you feel best — not what you think confident is. Try these tricks: Devote a little time each day to personal hygiene and making sure you're presenting yourself well. Shower daily, brush and floss your teeth, and groom your skin and hair. Dress for confidence. You don't have to buy a whole new wardrobe to feel better in your clothes. As long as you're clean, comfortable...

8 Ways to Gracefully Receive a Compliment

8 Ways to Gracefully Receive a Compliment While I was in the check-out line at the grocery store the other day, the customer ahead of me complimented the cashier on her earrings. Instead of saying, “Thank you,” the cashier replied, “Aren’t they cute? They’re on sale at Target for $15.99.” In other words, she dismissed the compliment and offered information that was not necessary. This cashier is not unusual. Many of us don’t know how to accept a compliment. And in some cases, we inadvertently insult the person who gives it. Why does accepting a compliment feel so awkward, causing us to stumble over our words, downplay or even reject it? The problem may lie in the fact that from the time we are children, we are taught to be humble, not cocky or arrogant. But whenever you downplay or reject the compliment you may be doing more harm than good. A compliment is, after all, a kind of gift, and turning down a gift insults the person giving it, suggesting that you don’t value the...

6 Tips: How to Make Your Haircut Last Longer? Are you up for a new haircut? A trim that will last longer than your last one? Because you probably want to save some money and avoid the barber for a couple of weeks longer? If the answers are  YES , you should keep reading! Let’s Just Get One Thing Clear… There’s no way to slow down hair growth. Instead, what you want to do is control how long your haircut appears fresh and epic and how to maintain it. We’ll show you how to make a haircut last longer. 1. Get the Right Haircut Keep in mind that the shorter your hair is, the more often you need a trim to keep the shape. Hard-edges styles like the skin fade, the crop haircut or undercut don’t last as long as the cuts with more natural borders. A haircut with fuller sides doesn’t have to be cut as often. The extra length on the sides and on top won’t be that noticeable. Super short buzz cuts also require a significant amount of upkeep to look their best. 2. Try Not ...
