This fourth tip is to influence your emotions[url=https://dbtodata.com/uk-whatsapp]uk whatsapp number data[/url]

There is a quote from a former French footballer, Eric Cantona, that I have long found a bit cliché, a bit simplistic, but which retraces a little bit of what I have just said and which I find, in hindsight, rather interesting. In fact, he said in an interview: "Tell yourself that it is easy and it is easy". So, tell yourself that it is easy, pretend that it is easy and it will become easy. The fact of pretending that something exists, confidence for example, makes that thing exist. Combine this advice with the fourth one, the one we will see in a moment, and I think that it will increase tenfold the confidence that you have in yourself.

It is difficult to control your emotions directly, the fact of lacking self-confidence, of being afraid, of shaking a little, of having a fast heartbeat, of being short of breath. It is difficult to act directly. The fact of telling yourself "I have to make my heart beat less fast" will not make it slow down.

But we can control our emotions indirectly or, at least, we can influence them. The idea is to show our brain that everything is fine, that we are safe. We need to reassure the chimpanzee part of our brain that we were talking about earlier, reassure it. As if the chimpanzee were next to us, we tell it: "calm down, everything will be fine". By reassuring the chimpanzee, we have a direct impact on our emotions.

The two best ways, in my opinion, to do this when speaking orally, whether in French or in your mother tongue, are firstly to breathe well. Just before you have to speak, take deep breaths, inhale, exhale. And the second easy way is to speak more slowly. If you breathe well and take the time to speak slowly, you will give your brain the signal of a calm, reassuring situation. As a result, you will have fewer negative emotions and more self-confidence.

So, I really recommend you to try these four tips to increase your self-confidence.

First, make a radical life choice by basing your self-confidence on doing your best and not on what others think.

Second, remember your past successes, use your past successes, your past positive emotions to serve you today.

Third, realize that others also lack self-confidence and try to pretend. Pretend to be confident in yourself to actually be confident in yourself. As Eric Cantona said, "tell yourself that it's easy and it's easy."

And fourth, influence your emotions indirectly by breathing deeply and speaking slowly.
