00:00	mhm confidence . It's a word you probably hear a
00:24	lot , but what does it mean ? Confidence is
00:28	believing in yourself and your abilities when you are confident
00:33	, it means that you recognize the things you are
00:35	good at and are happy to give new things ago
00:40	. Having good self esteem is a big part of
00:43	being confident . Good self esteem means you accept yourself
00:48	and you feel positive about yourself just the way you
00:52	are . But sometimes it's hard to feel confident and
00:56	good about yourself because we get caught up in comparing
00:59	ourselves to others around us . But the thing is
01:03	, everyone is completely unique . Even identical twins are
01:08	unique . Everyone has different bodies , cultures , religions
01:15	, styles , skills and abilities . Comparing yourself to
01:19	people who are different in all those ways is exhausting
01:23	because you'll never be exactly the same as someone else
01:26	. So instead of focusing on other people , why
01:29	not figure out what you can do and focus on
01:32	being the best version of yourself possible ? One important
01:38	thing to remember is that everyone is good at something
01:41	, but sometimes we spend so much time focusing on
01:44	why we aren't a wizard . Absolutely everything that we
01:48	forget this . There may have been a time when
01:51	you tried something new , like a sport or a
01:53	maths problem and didn't do as well as you hoped
01:57	. But every time you give something new a go
01:59	, you have to remember that your first try probably
02:02	won't be perfect . Things take practice . So don't
02:06	be hard on yourself when we don't do as well
02:10	as we expect . We can sometimes start thinking negative
02:13	things about ourselves . But instead of listening to these
02:17	negative thoughts , remind yourself of all the things you
02:21	are great at and your other achievements . Perhaps you're
02:25	an ace at art Mm , or really enjoy English
02:30	and wrote a brilliant story . Maybe you have a
02:33	knack for chess and can checkmate your opponent before they
02:36	can even blink . Everyone experiences different levels of confidence
02:46	. But did you know that you can train your
02:48	brain to become more confident ? A good way to
02:52	look at confidence is to think of it as a
02:54	muscle . A muscle grows when you work on it
02:58	, right ? Well , so does confidence . Working
03:02	on your confidence every day helps to strengthen and develop
03:06	it . So even though you may not feel incredibly
03:09	confident , you can become confident . Here are some
03:15	really simple tips to help develop your confidence . Re
03:20	evaluate your goals . If you're overwhelmed by expectations to
03:27	achieve , take a moment and set some realistic goals
03:31	. Making small goals to reach your big final goal
03:34	is the best plan because it's easier to achieve those
03:38	small goals in little steps . Then the big goal
03:41	in one huge leap . Don't give up when you
03:50	try something new . More often than not , you'll
03:52	fail at first and that's okay . It happens to
03:56	everyone . It's a cycle of trying , failing and
04:00	trying again until you get there . Just don't give
04:03	up . If everyone who failed on their first attempt
04:06	gave up , we wouldn't have the Internet . Nor
04:09	would we have airplanes , medicines or phones . The
04:12	key to success is to keep on trying . Turn
04:19	the volume down on that negative self talk . Everyone
04:25	has positive and negative thoughts . But did you know
04:28	that you can choose which ones to listen to when
04:32	you have negative thoughts ? Just let them go and
04:34	listen to the ones that help you to feel positive
04:38	. If you keep doing this , you will be
04:40	training your brain to be more confident Yeah , yeah
04:44	. Be constructive , Not destructive . Criticism comes in
04:52	two ways . Constructive and destructive . Bullies saying nasty
04:58	things is destructive criticism . But a teacher recommending some
05:03	ways you can improve at school is constructive criticism .
05:07	So reject the comments that bring you down and let
05:13	in all the comments that help you grow . Which
05:17	leads us to the final handy tip for confidence .
05:19	Believe in yourself and celebrate your differences . Mhm .
05:27	Nobody is the same . It's a fact of life
05:30	. So why spend time trying to compare yourself to
05:33	other people when you'll only ever be yourself ? Find
05:37	the special qualities that make you you and love them
05:41	. Perhaps you could even make a list . Yeah
05:46	. Did you know there are some real benefits to
05:49	being confident when you're confident you have more energy ,
05:53	you're happier and you're more comfortable with yourself , which
05:56	means you can enjoy yourself more if you're confident you'll
06:00	be more willing to give things a go , which
06:03	means you might discover new things you really enjoy .
06:07	So next time you're experiencing negative thoughts about yourself or
06:12	hearing destructive criticism , let them pass like clouds in
06:16	the sky and remember the things you're good at and
06:20	the wonderful characteristics that make you unique and irreplaceable .
06:26	Yeah ,
