Self-confidence is one thing everyone should have all the times. It's not a thing of appearance but a thing of the mind.
Self-confidence comes from inside out and takes a lot of effort to maintain. To keep your self-confidence in check, daily practice is required to feel more in control. And as they say, practice makes perfect.
According to Entrepreneur, here are 6 ways to boost your self-confidence daily:
1. Be assertive not aggressive: People listen more when you sound confident rather than fighting to drive your point home. Watch your favorite speaker deliver a speech and you'll know what it takes to be assertive.
2. Dress smartly: You feel better when you look good. Your choice of clothes and accessories should suit your work setting. Looking smart also does a lot of good in boosting self-confidence.

5. Always be prepared: They say luck is when preparation meets opportunity. You prevent a lot of things from going wrong when you are well prepared for eventualities.
6. Don't be inactive: Being active gives you a lot of courage than you'll normally feel.
