    As the Athletic Director and head coach of the Varsity Soccer team at Ryerson University, Dr. Joseph is often asked what skills he is searching for as a recruiter: is it speed? Strength? Agility? In Dr. Joseph's TEDx Talk, he explores self confidence and how it is not just the most important skill in athletics, but in our lives.
    In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

      Nope!there is no easy way.easy and fast ways are red flags.Every Human is a bag of fear but which FEAR?and there are many types of fear(phobias,dread etc).the dude(coach)presenting is right,if you repeat something continously,you are likely to develop "self" confidence.All greats were obsessed with repetition, from da vinci to micheal Jordan.some repeated things out of pure love and others out of need for appreciation by others.

For a relaxed life sit on a chair, back erect, eyes closed, be still and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for around 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight with your thoughts. Slowly they will reduce and relax the mind. Deep inhalation-exhalation is not needed. Day or night before sleep sit or lie down and observe your breath.

      Can't really agree on this. I mean sure: being yourself and living according to your own truth is the best thing you can do on the long run, since well, it doesn't help you much to live like society wants you to if you hate yourself for doing so espiaclly giving the fact you're stuck with yourself until you die (eh, that turned dark really quick...). But you won't feel confident all the time. There will be people who will try to take you down and that might trigger your insecurities or fears and whatnot. Sometimes it is hard to get away from these people and the experience you'll have with them might even scar you. Am I saying you should change to avoid that? No, I'm not. It will be hard, that's what I'm saying.

    "Confident people interpret the feedbacks the way they choose to". This sentence touches me a lot because we can't always get enough positive feedbacks or encouragement in our life and study. In this case, we have to learn to keep ourselves feeling good, otherwise we may decide to quit. This is definitely a significant capacity for me to pick up.

    Important Clippings:
    - Self-confidence is the ability or belief to believe in yourself to accomplish any task
    - He sees it as a skill because he believes it can be trained.
    1. The easiest way to build self-confidence, repetition, Maybe it shouldn't be repetition, but maybe it should be persistence.
    - Get out there, do what you want to do, and do not accept no.
    2. The other one is self-talk; We know for a fact that thoughts influence actions. We need to get our own self affirmations.
    - Get away from people who will tear you down, there is enough of that. All the things that make him who he is, he puts down on a list besides his mirror.
    - Your own brag sheets. Your own letter about the things you are proud of.
    - Stop the negative self-talk.
    3. You can teach self-confidence in others. Because we are educators, we are critical by nature in what we do.
    - Catch them while they're good. Praise the positive behavior we want to reinforce.
    4. Self-confident people interpret feedback the way they choose too. No one will believe in you, unless you do.
    We are supposed to be different.

    The biggest takeaway for me was, "Get away from the people who will tear you down!" - This is so true! I used to share my plans with folks that I thought were my best friends and almost always, they advised me to do the opposite. I only started seeing progress in things I wanted to accomplish after ceasing to share any of my plans with them until they were done!

    self confidence :
    - practice
    - repetition
    - after failure, still practice and repetition, and presistance
    - get out there, do what you wanna do, and don't except no
    - stop the negative self talk. do it, self affirmation to ourselves : I am the captain of my ship, and the master of my faith
    - praise the good, catch them when they're good : good job! you did good!
    - believe in ur self

      Thanks for listing this out, Good job!!! One correction, the actual quote is "I am the captain of my ship, and the master of my FATE". It's a quote from Invictus, by William Ernest Henley. It's important, because the author of the quote is saying that he is in control of his destiny in life. His faith came from God; but the author was saying "Master of my FATE" fate, destiny, outcomes, etc

    One of my students told me that when he discussed his anxieties with someone close to him, like his wife or a close friend, then he found that the moment he started opening up to them, the anxiety decreased-even before he received any advice or support.
    Togetherness definitely decreases anxiety. There is a saying in the wisdom of Kabbalah that “a sorrow shared is a sorrow halved,” i.e. when we share a sensation, we divide it up, and in turn it becomes more manageable.
    Since it is quite easy to see how sharing our experiences lessens our negative feelings, the question is why do we not use this ability more? Why is it so hard for us to share our fears and anxieties with others?
    We are indeed afraid of opening our hearts, letting everyone see that we have certain fears and anxieties. That is, in addition to whatever fears and anxieties we hold within, we usually have additional anxieties about sharing them with others, that it might cause others to perceive us as weak. Since society in general values stronger, smarter, wealthier and fitter individuals, opening up our anxieties to such a society makes us vulnerable to exploitation. We thus need to seek a social environment that would not exploit us for opening up, but would rather give us a sense of faith and confidence that it can help us cope with any negative feelings.
    A social setting that can guarantee faith and confidence in its members is one that actively draws itself to the upper good and benevolent force-the force of love, bestowal and connection. It is this very same force that awakens negative feelings in us, whether they be fears, anxieties or several other painful sensations, in order for us to draw closer to that force, and we do so by drawing closer to each other.
    If we wish to connect with the upper force and let its perfect quality of love, bestowal and connection fill our lives with a sensation of faith and confidence, then we need to emulate such a quality toward other people-giving them a sense of faith and confidence, and for them to do the same toward us. By wanting to positively connect with others, we then start awakening the positive force dwelling in nature into the connections we create, and we then feel a new sense of faith and confidence wash away any anxieties that we might be holding within.

      You can be with them and not be with them at same time. If you can, Live separate from them and stay away from them for a while. When I was starting to talk about Vitiligo, the skin condition that changed my life, my father would not have it, will call me, shout and ask me to stop everything I'm doing about Vitiligo publicly. I stopped taking his calls for 6months and even that of my mother (I don't live with them, we live 6houra apart). After 6months when I eventually take his call, I had gone far in what I had decided to do, he called and pleaded to see him, I got his blessings. I was going to stay off for as long as it takes because my self-peace supercedes another thing for me. No, I can never allow my fellow human being to get me messed up mentally while they continue to enjoy peace. I hope this helps.

    In order to be confident you need to be comfortable with yourself. You need to be able to like yourself. It can be very hard to like yourself when you haven't accomplished much and you're still struggling. That is why it's so important to get a good education and work your ass off.

    • @TonyVega123
      @TonyVega123 Před 8 lety +5

      ***** You are right up to a point. The problem is that very few people who haven't accomplished anything are confident. When we are children we don't understand the importance of succeeding in life. Since most people value themselves and other people based on what they've done and accomplished then confidence follows. It all comes down to what you believe gives yourself value.

    The average person can’t take too many No’s. They don’t realize that the No’s are preparing them for the Yes. Most people don’t make it to the Yes because they give up so easily. There’s always going to be a Yes somewhere. When you keep going consistently you get to those Yes’s faster. Once you keep going after that you find yourself getting more Yes’s than No’s because you have now developed a skill and you are confident about what you’re doing. You literally came into alignment with success by not giving up!

Don't forget what you did right just because it went ok and now you only need to focus on improving what you did wrong or because you'd feel narcisstic self-praising yourself. Give as much time to the positive feedback you got and what went excellent as to what mistakes you made and didn't go quite as well this time.

      Point 3 is limited based on your ability to use your environment to your advantage by the available opportunities to meet new people.

    Summary of the talk: "Confidence is a SKILL you can build"
    1. Build it by practicing! The more you have tried something over and over again the more confident you become. Practice, repeat and persevere. The more you fail and keep going, the more confident you'll be
    2. Stop the negative self talk. You're shooting yourself in the foot, tell yourself "I am the greatest!". You'll be surprised at how much that helps you keep going.
    3. Get away from the negative people. You're already struggling not to tell yourself "God I look fat, I'm no good at this" You don't need other people to make this even worse.
    4. Build other people's confidence: Focus on what people do well. Don't try to correct their mistakes
    5. Interpret feedback in a way that builds your confidence. Instead of "Wow that interview went shitty. I gave a terrible answer to 8/10 questions." say "Hey I did 2/10 questions pretty good! I'm gonna ace those on the next interview!"

    This reminds me of my high school biology teacher. She did not take “I dont know” as an answer in class but there is such a fine line between embarrassing your students and encouraging them to speak up in class even if they think they have the wrong answers. Maths class was a nightmare, the teacher was always calling out names and making people stand up and solve problems on the chalk board. But biology❤️❤️ oh man... she would even go as far as telling us exactly what to research on for the next day so we could be prepared. And she’d allow us to help other students answer if they didnt know. It was such a positive experience and it encouraged us to be curious and just ask about other things we didnt understand even if that wasnt in the curriculum. Miss that lady. 1 of the best teachers ever

      @@medeaendor3706 Reduce negative thoughts. Your breath is directly related to your mind [brain] causing negative thoughts-anxiety. For a relaxed life sit on a chair, back erect, eyes closed, be still and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for around 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight with your thoughts. Slowly they will reduce and relax the mind. Deep inhalation-exhalation is not needed. Day or night before sleep sit or lie down and observe your breath. Be as still as possible as it reduces negative thoughts. Make this a lifetime daily habit to have a good life. Best wishes Shyaaam Sir. -Counsellor.

    2.自我對話:面對負面的內心聲音,可以透過不斷的自我提醒(立標語、列清單等),給予自己更多的肯定

    for really shy people:
    you actually need a psychotherapist who teaches you to "stop the negative self-talk". youtube gives you a (fallacious) good feeling for 15 minutes, but does not teach you how u shaped your brain by 20 years of destructive thinking, how you behave in situations because of that and how you can fix this in less time. it's alot more complex than on youtube obviously - fortunately you don't need to learn any theory for yourself.
    if you suffer, do not buy books, do not read blogs, do not do all the things, that consume time (procrastinate), make you feel better but don't help you with your actual problem - be bold and see a therapist, you will soon be as happy as could not have imagined.

But that lazy bug in me strikes too many times and I procrastinate a lot. And at the end of the day I hate myself for that.. Day by day, crushing my own future in small ways. I've told myself so many times that I'm gonna do it, gonna make my parents proud, yeah it works for two or three days then it becomes stagnant again. I have to believe in myself that I CAN.

      +seeyan x Make a to-do list each day and prioritize the most important tasks, but don't stress yourself out.
      So something like this (you can switch these around or change the hours to fit your situation):
      - Task 1 (2 hours)
      - Small Break (30 minutes)
      - Task 2 (2 hours)
      - Fun (1 hour)
      - Task 3 or 1 (if not finished [2 hours])
      - Small Break (30 minutes)
      - Task 4 or 2 (if not finished [2 hours])
      Keep in mind that timing is key, you don't wanna study all at once since that would be stressful/counter-productive and when it comes to taking a break or having fun, you need to time yourself so that you don't get carried away.
      Set an alarm if that helps.
      If that doesn't work, I recommend you breakdown each task into small sections so that you get a little done everyday.
      It's important to get SOMETHING done each day, even if it feels insignificant, because eventually it'll all add up.
