11 Behavioural Traits of Truly Confident Women
Throughout my life, I have seen that at any moment when I felt less confident before someone, it wasn’t that they were better than me but it was a temporary dip in my confidence.
And it took me years to reflect and understand my pattern.
Today I am confident enough and I can see through exactly how I transformed. So, I’m writing this blog to help you understand your confidence quotient.
Remember confidence is a steady trait, and still, it may dwindle at times, (for some moments, or longer). But the mindset that works to keep growing resilient through life makes a difference.
Here are 11 traits that a genuinely confident woman portrays.
Confident women know their wants.
We don’t settle for anything less or the bare minimum. Be it a relationship or career, we won’t settle for breadcrumbs.
Sometimes, we have to face more challenges, but knowing our wants, we find our way.
We are sorted with our choices and desires, and there is no settling for what we don’t deserve…..even if that means being alone for some time. Still good.
We’re content in our company.
Practices the law of detachment
We take letting go with ease and as a necessity.
Many women find it hard to do because of uncertainty, insecurities or ego. But a truly confident woman would better let go of what doesn’t serve them right, instead of holding on…..This could be a relationship, job, career path or anything where time invested is meaningless.
We go with the flow of life.
Some detachment is needed to attract Abundance. You can’t be content in a state of being stuck.
Handles rejection with grace
With mustering detachment comes the skill to face rejection.
I see any rejection as redirection to something better coming my way. As it always happened since my childhood. I started to see the pattern.
I believe what’s mine will come to me with grace and ease. Only I must work on myself to level up my emotions and energy.
Rejection is the universe telling me to look at the better things planned for me.
When you practice both the Law of Detachment and the Law of Attraction, you attract Abundance. This is universal spiritualism and beyond science.
By handling rejection, a confident woman grows resilient and doesn’t allow self-doubt to set in.
Enjoys solitude and practice me time
Often, I come across debates among women about whether me time is selfish.
Nope!
Women have to play many roles at home and work. So “me time” is when you need to recharge yourself to sustain life’s challenges and responsibilities. It’s an essential personal care.
I practice my Me time shamelessly by spending time in nature, going out for solo walks, reading books, painting or doing mandala art, and if nothing, then taking a short nap.
As women, we’re taught to become the support system of the family, but a support system also needs inner tuning. Me time is a perfect way to show yourself, love.
And being able to enjoy solitude is power.
Practices daily gratitude
Gratitude is a powerful tool in building and sustaining confidence.
Confident women cultivate a daily practice of acknowledging and appreciating the positive aspects of their lives, building a mindset of Abundance and fulfilment.
I start my day with gratitude journaling. It makes me happy to realize I have so many things to be grateful for and feel optimistic about how the universe cradles me in every phase of life.
Confident women empower other women
In a society that created several standards and rules against which women are labelled, a woman of confidence will never fall for these biases.
Self-assured women believe in and practice uplifting fellow women instead of tearing them to feel better about themselves.
We cherish the wins of other women. We feel sad at someone’s sad plight or fall.
I get goosebumps when I see women around me or maybe a stranger flourishing in life.
Women with healthy self-esteem don’t feel challenged by another woman’s beauty or success.
We feel inspired.
Reaches out for help
Navigating the balance between independence and seeking help is a challenge. Confident women recognize the strength in both.
Even an ant, which is a two-dimensional creature, seeks help and collaboration, so why shy away from doing it as a human?
The ant doesn’t have a mind and ego like us to overthink. They do what’s needed for the moment.
Breaking stereotypes, it’s fine to seek help at times. We know collaboration is as valuable as independence.
Confident women select partners who are emotionally empowered
This is very crucial and non-negotiable.
Having an emotionally mature partner is a blessing; we understand it strongly.
Staying alone in life can be a personal choice. Still, if a confident woman gets into a relationship or marriage, they will ensure their partner is emotionally available.
Because we can achieve everything materialistic on our own, emotional support is of huge value.
She makes choices for herself and does not want to please others
True confidence stems from making choices aligned with one’s authentic self. Confident women love to make decisions because we take the onus even if there are a few backfires.
Confident women listen to their gut instincts, no matter the external pressures, understanding that their choices shape their journey.
This commitment to decision-making and personal choices builds their confidence and purpose.
Acknowledge mistakes
Yes boss! I accept my mistakes and, at times, laugh at my folly. They feel inferior to me.
I don’t let my wrong decisions about people, situations or choices weigh me.
We are humans; we make errors. And I know I never made blunders that could harm anybody. I’m fine with acknowledging my mistakes and moving on with the lessons.
Confident women know that growth lies in continuous progress and not in perfection.
Embraces change in life
At times, I struggled to accept the uncertainties of life. Then, I felt very low with confidence quotient.
But as I became more confident, I became curious about life and see what next.
Trust me; my curiosity doesn’t kill me as it might do to a cat….But it makes me calm and less stressed.
Confident women are open to changes as they understand that growth involves stepping into the unknown, embracing new opportunities, and adapting to evolving circumstances.
That’s all for now.
Cheers to all the women who could resonate.
In your self-assurance, you grow and glow.
Feel free to add any other trait that you may feel I left out. It will be great to initiate a conversation around this.
