It’s time to boost your confidence, but what can you do?

Sit up straight. Upright posture can help boost your mood.

Spray a fresh scent. It enlivens the brain and feels uplifting.

Wear something yellow. The sunshine colour is very positive and optimistic.

Visualise yourself being successful. Think about the laws of attraction. We attract more of what we think about. Therefore depression brings more depression. Turn those thoughts around and start to bring some light into your life.

Lack of sleep can also affect your confidence levels. Are you a lark or an owl?

Larks tend to be early risers who eat breakfast and plunge into life first thing.  Owls are a bit more slow to rise. They prefer a nice cosy lie in, and work late into the night. Hopefully most of us are able to mix and match our sleep patterns to suit our lifestyle. But if you are an owl who has to get up early for work or a lark who has to work late in the evenings it could be cause for concern. Work out which one you are and try to organise your life accordingly, it could boost your confidence and improve performance at work if you get the right amount of sleep at the right time.
