What are some cool confidence hacks?

Remember, true confidence isn't about never feeling fear or doubt. It's about knowing you can handle whatever comes your way, regardless of how you feel in the moment. That's the kind of confidence that changes lives.

Now, I know what you're thinking - this sounds like a lot of work. And you're right, it is. But let me tell you, it's worth it. I've seen countless people transform their lives using these methods, going from crippling self-doubt to unshakeable confidence.

Optimize your physical health: Clean up your diet, focusing on whole, unprocessed foods. Get regular exercise, especially strength training, which naturally boosts confidence-enhancing hormones. Consider supplements that support hormonal balance and neurotransmitter production.

How do I get my body in shape?

The "hacks" you often hear about - power poses, affirmations, dressing well - they can help in the moment, sure. But they're like putting a band-aid on a broken arm. They don't address the root cause.

Well, let me tell you something - I've been there, done that, and found out why most of these "hacks" don't really work long-term. But don't worry, I'm going to break this down for you in a way that actually makes sense and gives you real, lasting results.

First, we need to understand what confidence really is. It's not just a feeling or a state of mind - it's a result of how your brain processes information based on your past experiences and beliefs. This is crucial to grasp.

Identify and change limiting beliefs: Start paying attention to the thoughts that pop up when you feel unconfident. These are clues to your underlying beliefs. Once identified, you need to actively work on changing these beliefs through specific mental exercises and real-world experiences that contradict them.

But here's the kicker - these beliefs aren't reality. They're just stored memories that your brain is misapplying to the present. The key to real confidence is changing these underlying beliefs.

See, most people don't realize that confidence issues stem from two main sources:

Hello,hope y'all doin good, i came to Quora to share my strange story , a very weird one , a story when luck smiled at me ,maybe u will enjoy it , let's begin,have fun... A year ago ,I was a real porn addicted(btw I was 18) ,but never had sex before, I don't have a gf I didn't try to find one even ,always thinking to go to find a sex worker but then I just don't , everyday watching different bodies getting fucked and everyday enjoying. One day, I was watching porn, a big ass lady with big boobs ,just after seeing her the image of my female cousin poped in my mind, (let's introduce her : she's 35 years old , very big ass , nice boobs ,not very big but nice,always wearing tight clothes , she's divorced ) and I thought of me fucking her ,I never had sexual desires for her but now I do days went by and when I met her I was so horny ,I couldn't stay with the family cz my penis was clearly erected , I realized this is my first time I get horny for one of my family ,it not illegal in my country.well to make a long story short( if u want details just text me I will tell u 😊),I decided to give her signs that I want to fuck her,finally I decided to have sex and with my cousin , I thought it is the best beggining for me, i started touching her when I came across her in a narrow place , make her feel my hard cock when we hug , I thought it will hard and I will be ashamed but no , I felt nothing and she said nothing , probably she thought it was by mistake,anyways, I decided then to talk with her about sex, waited for her to be alone in a room and talk with her, I confessed everything about me watching porn and addicted..etc,she said it's normal and u are growing up and u must have sex,well at that time I was like whaaat????? Well I didn't control myself and asked her for sex ( horny like I Ve never been before) she said that she will think Abt it ,2 weeka went by then she called me ,telling that she reserved a room in a hotel and we meet tonight ,we met,and bruuhh, sex is great , I mean, I had to find a pirstitue ,what I was waiting for to have such a feeling ????, I will never forget that night, I started kissing her she was kissing hard ,she misses sex so bad , she sucked my dick and swallowed my semen ,I felt I'm in a dream , then when fucked ,her ass was very big and the anus was open ,didn't struggle to get my hard cock inside it , she was obviously missing sex , she was shouting ,fuck me yh fuck me , I go fast after every word until I cum , we did that 3 times , then we went to her pussy , using condoms I fucked her so hard the moans were higher , everything was perfect ,in the end I asked her to lick her body , licked pussy ,ass, boobs,then she sucked my cock until we sleeped ,all I know that she was dirty ,well before even having sex with her I knew she is an open minded woman , and a woman that looks that she donesnt know anything , but she knows everything, but never expected having sex with her ,well she was horny and that helped...but no one of us regretted that sex ever.. We still have sex from time to time ,and I started having sex with sex workers , joining threesomes..etc If u want pics of her text me.

So, with all this in mind, here's what you need to do to truly boost your confidence:

Now, onto the physical aspect. In today's world, our bodies are bombarded with things that mess with our hormones and neurotransmitters. Processed foods, environmental toxins, lack of proper exercise - all these contribute to hormonal imbalances that directly affect our mood and confidence.

For example, if you once felt humiliated speaking in public, your brain might now trigger anxiety every time you're about to speak up in a meeting. It's trying to keep you safe from that past pain.

Mindfulness and self-awareness: Learn to observe your thoughts and feelings without judgment. This helps you recognize when you're falling into old patterns and gives you the power to choose different responses.

For instance, high levels of cortisol (the stress hormone) can make you feel anxious and insecure. Low testosterone in men or progesterone in women can zap your motivation and assertiveness. And don't even get me started on how the modern diet wreaks havoc on our gut bacteria, which play a huge role in producing neurotransmitters that regulate mood.

You're looking for quick fixes to boost your confidence, right?

Develop competence: Real confidence comes from knowing you're capable. Set achievable goals and consistently work towards them. Each small win reinforces your belief in your abilities.

Let's tackle the psychology part first. Your brain is constantly referring to your past experiences to decide how to feel and react in the present. If you've had experiences where you felt rejected, inadequate, or embarrassed, your brain stores these as beliefs. Then, in similar situations, it triggers those same feelings to "protect" you.

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

Practice gradual exposure: Systematically expose yourself to situations that make you uncomfortable, starting small and working your way up. This helps your brain create new, positive associations and beliefs.
