Team Work Makes The Dream Work To Boost Self-Belief

Keeping ourselves confident and the belief that we can achieve our goals can be really hard sometimes and it takes incredible will power to pursue things alone.

Even harder to succeed in life this way.

Humans have proved when we work together to accomplish a task the chances of completing it goes up dramatically compared to one individual. Which is quite easy to understand as more heads are better than one as the saying goes.

Working together and believing in others has helped pre-pal humanity to where it is today. From when we hunted in packs for animals much bigger in size than ourselves to going orienteering expeditions where working together is paramount.

Throughout history, it shows the power of believing in others and working together as a team really works. This post is here to help show you that you can achieve anything you want with the help of others and how you can help others to boost their confidence too.

The impact of this is so important, just look at sports for example of the impact a crowd can have on the home team or a long-distance sprinter coming into the final lap of her home Olympics and has the whole crowd cheering her on.

That kind of positive energy moves people to places they never thought was possible themselves.

Sometimes when you see only from your own two eyes. The path can be narrow but with people behind you, they can see what your seeing and more.

That’s the power working together can have, especially coaches who can help you visualise an even better path for you to go on.

Find Someone That Empowers You To Boost Self Belief

Important Tips To Understand How To Boost Self-Belief

Throughout my life, I’ve had teachers, mentors and coaches who have helped guide me to where I am today. Without their help, I would be a different person in a different place in my life. That’s the importance of others believing in you but it can defiantly happen in the opposite direction too.

Imagine if you had people around you, who always laughed at your big ideas, always say you can’t do that or just made you feel less confident after speaking to them. How would this make you feel?

It’s a simple question and the answer is drained.

This is because your self-belief is like a car fuel tank. With extra weight within the car, the quicker the fuel tank will empty. This is the same for your self-belief muscle.

People in life will try to drag you down to their level. So either you have to make sure your self-belief tank is full beforehand or drop off the extra baggage to keep your self-belief intact.

You Have The Control To Boost Your Self-Belief

If this is you at the moment, do not worry, this is all in your control and it changes immediately if you take action. You can quickly find the right people to motivate and give you confidence in the short term through self-help books, YouTube videos and podcasts. Where you can find people with the right mindset to give you confidence in your ideas and future.

But the long term solution is surrounding yourself with people who motivate you in life and help you move forward. This can be a partner that’s supportive, a personal trainer that helps guide you to the body you want or a team around you that helps you grow your business.

Having the right people around gives you confidence in achieving any of your goals in life.

Important Tip To Understand How To Help Others With Their Self-Belief

Once you have yourself ticked off then it’s time serve others in helping them with their self-belief.

The best way for you to serve others is to put them first. You can do this by listening to them so they can be heard or it could even be you passing on your own experience to help them overcome a challenge.

Whatever it is putting them first will double down on their self-belief that they can achieve the outcome they desire.

By helping them win you will see someone shock themselves at how good they can be. For instance, a personal trainer at the gym can guide you to levels you never thought your body could go to.

Even if you’re just a friend, you can help by just believing in them and supporting them that way. Just finding positives for people and being their cheerleader can dramatically boost self-belief in another person.

With so many peoples self-belief not where it should be. Small changes can make a huge difference in someone’s life. Even if the other person feels 1% better in their belief of themselves. That still a win.

Self Guided Important Tips To Understand How To Boost Self-Belief

Look back at your own life of all the people who have supported you and you will see ways you be that person too for others. Whether that be as a friend or a profession.

Review your self-talk and ask yourself is it positive or negative, then slowly change these habits.

Be self-aware of your family, friends, partners, colleagues etc who bring you down and fix it any way you thinks best.

A Discussion About Self-Belief

Today’s article Easy ways to improve your self-belief over time. Will discuss and understand what self-belief is and how to implement it within our lives today.

Many people, myself included would love to have endless amounts of self-belief. Even when at times I can be the most confident person in the room. Other times my confidence can go hiding in a far forgotten place. From every success story, you have heard there is some sort of self-belief that has helped someone push through challenges. For them to come out the other side victorious.

It’s all great and wonderful hearing about these people but the question is. How can we acquire self-belief to a level where we can achieve our own success in life?

By uncovering this we can all overcome the obstacles in our own way. For all the talent that all of us have at something. The limitation of our own mind can hold us back from our greatest self. So I am here to discuss more why self-belief is an important part of what we achieve in life and why it’s important to practice developing it every single day.

Why Is Self-Belief Important?

The importance of self-belief can not be underestimated as the importance of it determines our success. A great way to learn and find out how much you believe in yourself can come from sports especially individual sports like MMA or Tennis where it’s you vs your opponent. Here you will find someone may be similar in age and ability but what can really set yourself apart is your mental strength to beat your opponent.

There’s a reason why some people are in the top 10 of their chosen sports and that is down to mental strength or what I like to call self-belief in ones own ability and destiny. When a mindset at this level is achieved it’s so easy to take this into your marriage, business, or passing it on to your children. Success breeds success and when you believe in yourself anything can seem possible and because you believe it. It will become possible over time.

This can be true for people who have become amputees. What a change to your life to go from able-bodied to then being unable to do the same things you took for granted your whole life. With amazing physiotherapy sessions and new technology, people can get back to being fully functional in amazing ways now. But the real struggle is not the technology its overcoming the mental barriers. When they start to believe in themselves and how their life can go forward rather than be a burden. This is when change happens and this can be the biggest hurdle. But self-belief can play a big part in overcoming this setback.

What We All Know About Self-Belief

I think we all know deep down from our own personal experiences of the major impact self-belief can have on our outcomes. For me, one of the best memories I have of my own experience is when I was pursuing a goal of reaching management level within a company when I was in my early 20s. I was at a sticking point where I was progressing at the rate they expected me too and I was told I should probably go look for something else to do. But deep down I believed I was good enough for the role and wanted it more than anything at the time.

Then fast forward 8 months and I finally achieved the goal of achieving management status. We should look back at these experiences we have where self-belief helped us overcome a challenge. This should give us great confidence when achieving any of our goals. Knowing that with the right mindset you can achieve the goals you have.

The Science Behind Self-Belief

The best thing is that if anyone is dealing with low self-belief. Don’t worry this does not have to be a forever thing. With amazing research within neuropsychology, they uncovered neuroplasticity where neural networks in the brain change through growth and reorganization. These changes range from individual neurons making new connections, to systematic adjustments like cortical remapping. In lamen terms when you decide to change your brain will change. This is why how you think about yourself and who you hang around with is super important.

A study by the University College London had 40 healthy participants who did a social evaluation task while in an MRI scanner. After uploading a profile to an online database. They received feedback, ostensibly given by 184 strangers (actually an algorithm), in the form of a thumbs-up (like) or thumbs-down (dislike). The ‘strangers’ were in different groups so that participants learned to expect positive feedback from some groups of raters, and negative feedback from other groups. After every 2-3 trials, participants reported on their self-esteem at that moment.

Participants expected to be liked by ‘strangers’ in the groups that mostly gave positive feedback, so when they received a thumbs-down from a person in that group, their self-esteem took a hit. These social prediction errors – the difference between expected and received feedback – were key to determining self-esteem.

The Round-Up

This study shows the effect our self-belief can be affected by others if we let it. It’s true when someone says discouraging words or treats you differently. It can have an effect on all of us.

That’s why for example sports stars like Anthony Joshua has a team around him that he trusts, offers him confidence and produces great mental preparation for his training and fights.

Imagine if it was the opposite and no one in his camp liked him or believed in him. With such small margins in boxing, this could have a major impact on the performance of the outcome.

Practical Steps To Practice

Seek people and activities that boost self-belief
No matter how low you feel you can change through neuroplasticity
Look back on your past experiences where you have shown great self-belief to help you in the present
It’s an ever-changing process so it has to be worked on every day to see its full benefits

Final Thoughts From The Future Mindset

From my own experience and scientific research, it has shown the power self-belief can have on our life’s. Its the reason why many people succeed in their chose fields of expertise and why another fall short. How you view yourself is so important for the future you want and who you spend time with can reflect where you end up in life.

I hope this helps you to understand that you are in control of how you feel and don’t worry if you are not always at your best. Just remember there’s always a new day where you can change the outcome.

I would love any feedback on this post Easy ways to improve your self-belief over time. I really hope it helps. See you on the next post!
