Self-confidence and self-confidence - immediate actionable tips

"I would love to be stronger. Trust me. I dare to be more ME. Dare to do more of my thing. Easier to approach people. And while we're at it: I would also like to be more at peace with myself. Just say, 'Hey, I'm no k, the way I am, no matter what the others think.'

Could that be the thought? If so, then you are right here. Because this is about these topics: self-confidence, self-confidence and self-acceptance. Or, more precisely, it's about how to increase those positive qualities.

To accept oneself means to accept oneself as one is. So to say: Yes, my nose is crooked and I'm still a human o. K. The big question is: how can one really live this attitude of self-acceptance? So to really accept oneself in everyday life. Also with what you do not like about yourself. This is a simple but very effective tip that needs a bit of practice.

Do you know what self-confidence is? That's the belief in oneself. The belief that you can handle the challenges that throw life into your path. The belief that by thinking, diligent work and staying in touch, you can achieve everything you have planned for.

You can listen to criticism and deal with it in a relaxed way. In addition, people with a strong self-confidence act more than they react. And they address things that are important to them.

Self-improvement for advanced skiers

Fast? But sure, since Ash Wednesday! And, yes, of course until Easter, at least until Easter. No meat. No alcohol. No sweets. Sports every day. Discuss with an AFD voter once a week. Remove the old to-do list. Be friendly and nice, even boring. To this end, digital detoxification of course tightened: only three times a day to seize the psychoprosthesis and check a maximum of fifteen minutes emails and social media.

Good! Very good! But were not the good New Year's resolutions exactly nine program points? And did not they sound, well, yes, very similar? Only 12 percent of people manage to keep their New Year or Lent intentions , so 88 percent fail.

Why is that? And if so, why do we keep trying? Why do people make intentions on New Year's Eve? Are they depriving themselves of the beginning of Lent, high and holy? And do you already know that it will not work again afterwards? How to become world champion in the tolerance of your own failure?

On the one hand, it is innate, an adjustment disorder to a certain extent. The human brain wants to spare its resources, it avoids activation energy, so it is basically lazy and likes to run on autopilot. To continue doing as before seems always to be the more economical option for the brain. Experiment series have shown that it takes an average of 66 days for a person to really reapply a good habit or train a bad one. In other words, anyone who manages it for 66 days has made it.

On the other hand, because people in multi-option societies suffer from chronic voluptuousness, smartphone fasting, for example, could be the best way to get started in those 66 days. A few days of ordered use of psychoprostheses releases amazing willpower for greater things.


If you want to try it, you should divide the 66 days into three phases, which are explained in the big essay to the habit change. And no, no one has to wait until the next Ash Wednesday, but rather stick with Confucius: "If you intend to renew yourself, do it every day."

Language learning: the digital helps, but does not dethrone the human

Many teachers still feel fears about new technologies and focus on continuing traditional courses. Others, on the other hand, rely on these tools to enrich their courses, without making an apology without limit.

And it is, indeed with caution that the professor uses today digital in its courses. She works in "reverse class," asking her students to watch video clips before classes to prepare them, "a way to touch different sensory channels." It also uses platforms to create quizzes online; or makes "clouds of words"to work on representations. Géraldine Larguier often uses collaborative tools, tests them upstream and then gives her opinion to these colleagues via social networks.

And if, purely digital applications flourish, some startups have made the choice to stand out by a human dimension through the 2.0 tools. Among these EdTech, we can mention Absolutely French, a startup that allows expatriate spouses to learn French. "Digital is a tool", but everything is based on practical experiences. "We started from the premise that we retain more of what we live," explains Armelle Perben, founder of the startup . "Thus, through workshops, learners go to the market, make treasure hunt in Paris, slip into roles in small groups or cooking. " In addition to these scenarios,"Digital is mandatory," she says. Absolutely French is developing an e-learning platform so that, with the classroom, fun exercises are available online. An application is also in preparation that will offer a word in French every day. "It allows us to make ourselves known, learn and review," adds Armelle Perben.

This is the case of Charlotte, 10, who has an appointment with her coach Abby, once a week. For this young Francilienne and her parents, although enrolled in a course of "reinforced English" in addition to its four hours of living language weekly, this was not enough. After spending 2 years in Singapore with her expatriate family, the schoolgirl and her parents were afraid that by reintegrating the French school system, her level of English would drop. "There are still big concerns for language learning in France," said Elodie, Charlotte's mother. With VivaLing, once a week, like a video Skype type, the girl talks with his coach on "Halloween, Christmas, sport or horseback riding",themes to which it is sensitive. And it is, in addition to the practical aspect related to the choice of the time slot, for the "hyperpersonalization" and "discussion" side that the Charlotte family decided for VivaLing.
