Listen to yourself: how to increase self-confidence

5 min readDec 2, 2023
I will continue to protect this universe. I will continue to be a good person. humble. responsible and I must continue to run to be an individual who cares for others so that this universe can become a peaceful place to live together. I really love peace. Pinterest

Fear and anxiety about life are challenges for every individual

In this universe, there are 3 human goals that I understand. The first is to love fellow humans so that we can live in an orderly way. Second, learn. So that we continue to grow in knowledge and wisdom so that we are not easily trapped in negative sentiments. and the last one is protecting the environment. so that plants can provide good oxygen to us so that we can live in clean air. So that our pets always give us happiness, like my dog. so that we can live side by side with fellow creatures created by God. And as a result, we can sustainably live in this chaotic universe.

Until now, I continue to look for ways to best listen to myself.

Once, I read an article, the article talked about self-confidence. When I read the article, I was motivated. The simple thing to listen to ourselves is to follow what our conscience tells us.

In the article, the author states that listening to one’s conscience is one hundred percent correct action. Will never lie. and able to demand that we follow the right path. Give light in the darkness.

It’s different if we only depend on the thoughts in our heads. The mind has indications to reveal untruths. the mind has indications of not speaking the truth. As a result, we state something that is not based on facts. we lie. and in the article, the author states that when an individual wants to make a decision and he does not use his conscience but only relies on the thoughts in his head then the results of the decision tend to be based on emotional decisions. not an objective decision.

Listening to what I want is my current goal after graduating from college. When I graduated from college, I started diving into a new pool of life. new friendship. new relationship. and I have to be able to find new ways so that I can easily adapt to the new environment.

Many dilemmas come to my mind every night. sometimes even into dreams. I don’t know what the cause is. Maybe I wasn’t listening to myself. not following what I want. As a result, I became a doubtful individual, an individual who lacked self-confidence.

Adulthood is a time when every individual is looking for their identity. What I mean by identity is self-confidence.

Self-confidence will bring us wisdom in making decisions.

Self-confidence will give us the courage to say something true.

Self-confidence will lead us to sincerity.

Until now, I am still learning how to increase my self-confidence. Increasing self-confidence is not just about you talking a lot when in a discussion forum. It’s not just about you dominating with your friends. However, self-confidence is about Respect. Able to place yourself in the correct and balanced position. Not dominating and able to respect.

The anxiety that comes every night, the dilemma about whether the life we live is useful or not, is caused by doubt and lack of confidence.

We must always be able to listen to ourselves. Because when we succeed in listening to the basic things we want, it will give us self-confidence.

I currently work for a private company. I am required to learn new things. I am required to be able to be responsible for what I do. I am required to be able to work together with a team. I am required to be independent in doing every job given to me. I believe I can do all this well if I can believe in myself that I can do it. I have to give myself confidence that I can do it. I have to keep going. I can’t go back. I have to instill a mindset in my mind, that no individual is perfect. Every individual has made mistakes. and solutions to errors that occur must continue to be sought so that my self don’t make the same mistake again. In essence, believe in ourselves that we can do it.

gratefully, I have good seniors, who are respectful, who care, who are humble, who are kind, who are willing to sacrifice, and responsible.

I am grateful to be in this positive circle.

I am grateful to be in a positive circle of friends. I imagined when I was a student that when I graduated, I would work, occupy a new position in a certain department, and get a positive work circle of friends. And now I got it. Thanks God!

Back to the topic of listening to yourself, how to increase self-confidence.

Listening to yourself is a kind of reflection. Reflection to listen to what we want so that we don’t get tired easily. so that we don’t worry easily. so that we are always in a good mood.

Lastly, in my perspective, Self-confidence is about belief. Confidence that I am capable of carrying out the tasks given. Confidence that I can be responsible for what I do. and the belief that humility, respect, and caring for others will lead to a positive environment in work relationships.

So How, only you know the best answer about that.

What I did was to answer my anxiety, dilemmas, and doubts, I looked for answers in articles and books. Not from social media.

When I get the answer,

I became calmer

I became more peaceful

I have come to love myself more.

In this article, I want to advise you, that you should always be able to listen to yourself. Listen to what you want, listen to what are you planning, and listen to what is your goal. ask yourself every time. you must be able to achieve it. The way to do this is to increase self-confidence. You have to be able to convince yourself that you can do it. You have to convince yourself that you are capable of doing things beyond the limits of your abilities. keep pushing yourself to learn. keep pushing yourself to try something new. Never be afraid of the results. Be afraid if one day you think, why have you never tried the thing you were afraid of before?

I love you gays,

God bless you, always.

Thank you for reading my daily journal, see you in my next daily journal

I’m grateful to be able to get this partner after graduating. This is the moment where Sis Dessy parted ways with our company. Success always, love! Jesus blessing you always!
