Fancy a little treasure hunt with guaranteed success? The last method for a stronger self-confidence, which I present to you, is characterized by its immediate effect, which lasts for a long time!

In everyday life we are so busy pleasing others and comparing or even adapting ourselves that we completely forget to take a look at ourselves and our own lives. That's why it's so hard for us to see the good in it. You should change that! Take your pen and paper with you for the following exercise. Of course you can do it without, but even better results can be achieved if you put your thoughts on paper in black and white.

List what's good about and in your life. No, please don't let the pessimistic voice in the back of your mind say that nothing is good. There are good things in your life, of course. Let me give you a little hint: What are really good qualities of yours? What are the characteristics of your character? To what extent does this benefit you in everyday life? What unique features do you have? What sets you apart from other people? What valuable people surround you? How important are your friends and family to you? What successes have you achieved so far? What progress have you made on your own?

There are so many good things about you that you can be proud of. Be happy about the fact that you are independent, can provide for yourself and are a free person. Enjoy the people around you. You owe it to yourself that these are a part of your life. You invest your unique personality in these social bonds and are therefore rewarded with friendship and familiarity. Be proud of everything you have already achieved. What's happened so far isn't a coincidence.

Learn to appreciate the little things in life. Be grateful to be a free man in a modern part of the world. Everything we take for granted, such as a toilet, hot water or a kitchen in which we prepare our food, is an unattainable luxury for more than half (!) of all people. Lie down on the couch in the evening and watch a movie? Absolute luxury. Make a call and have a pizza delivered to your door? For most people, this is a dream that will probably never come true.

Yeah, that seems contradictory. After all, we were told earlier not to compare ourselves. But it is also important not to take anything for granted. Self-awareness also includes developing awareness and attentiveness for life around oneself. The more you appreciate all this, the more grateful you will be. They will be grateful to themselves for making this life possible for themselves. This results in more self-confidence and self-love.

Go regularly on treasure hunts in your life. Discover how much good there is. We don't see it every day, but as soon as we see it, it's good for our self-confidence!
