How to Build Confidence
Everybody in this wo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rld wants to be rich and successful.But,the big question is HOW How can you turn yourself into a popular personality
Well,you need to have ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) confidence.Confidence is the feeling of certainty and trusting in one’s own ability.
Start your journey to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) become successful by following these six confidence-building steps.
Recognize wha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t makes you feel inferior—Let’s accept the fact that no one in this world is perfect.Everyone has some shortcomings and it is natural.So,if there is something that makes you feel ashamed of yourself just make a note of it.Instead of being upset over your shortcomings,you need to figure out ways to overcome them.
Dress smartly and l ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ook more attractive—Yes,you are right that a person should be beautiful at heart but you ought to work on your looks too.You might have not realized but dressing up nicely can increase your confidence.Work hard to improve your looks and you will definitely notice a positive change in your personality.
Don’t worry about ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) what others say—Those who think about others can never succeed in their lives.So,if you really wish to increase your confidence levels,stop thinking about the world right away.Have faith in your capabilities and show the world that you are a leader.And just in case you are afraid of criticism,your dream of becoming a successful person will always remain a dream.
Stay happy—Happin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ess plays an important part in a successful life.So,try to find out what makes you happy and keep yourself involved in those activities only.
Be a curious learner—L ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )earning is part of our life.It is a continuous process which lasts till the last breath.Knowledge not only makes you superior but enriches your personality altogether.
Express yours ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )elf—There are many people who don’t express their feelings and opinions at all just because they are afraid of being laughed at.Well,don’t be afraid and express yourself wherever possible.It will make people realize your presence and you may get the response.So,when you have something on your mind,say it aloud.
Self esteem ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )and confidence are some of the most important things you need to be successful in life.

How many hours do you spend sitting in a chair every day
Sitting too mu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ch is not good for your health—from an increased risk of heart disease and getting overweight,to the constant stress on your neck and back.To make matters worse,the bad effects of sitting too much can’t be reduced by taking a good diet and regular exercise.A study of nearly 9,000 Australians found that for each additional hour of television a person watched per day,the risk of dying rose by 11 percent.In other words,sitting is killing us.
So what can we d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o about it Health experts suggest we break up those many hours spent sitting with more hours spent standing.
A simple experiment w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )as conducted with a small group of 10 volunteers who usually spent most of the day sitting.They were asked to stand for at least three hours a day.It was found that blood sugar leveled off after a meal rather quicker on the days when the study subjects stood compared with the days they spent in a chair.Standing also burned more calories(卡路里)—about 50 calories an hour.Over the course of a year,that would add up to about 30,000 extra calories,which meant running about 10 marathons a year just by standing up three or four hours in your day at work.
Experts said that a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lthough doing exercise offers many proven benefits,our bodies also need the constant,very slight increase in muscle(肌肉) activity that standing provides.Simple movement helps us to keep our all-important blood sugar under control.The researchers believe that even small adjustments,like standing while talking on the phone,going over to talk to a colleague rather than sending an e-mail,or simply taking the stairs instead of the lift,will help.
