Confidence is a state of mind, and like everything related to mind, it is completely in your control.
If there is a specific situation where you find yourself lacking confidence,(say in interviews, before public speeches etc) we recommend you try using “POWER POSING”
We know, that all animals including humans have a natural response to expand their bodies, stretch, swell etc when they want to dominate (refer the body language of animals in combat). Evolution has trained the bodies of all animals to release more adrenaline when the bodies are in dominating postures. Similarly the body’s natural response to happiness is smile.
Now, interestingly, this works the other way round too. If you force yourself to smile (say by holding a pencil between your teeth), your body starts showing symptoms of happiness (blood level, adrenaline etc). Similarly just before your interview or speech, if you lock yourself into a secluded room and try to pose dominating postures for 2 minutes, you may find your confidence levels go high during the real performance.
