Marcus Aurelius – How To Build Your Self Confidence (Stoicism)

In this video, Marcus Aurelius provides advice on how to build self-confidence through the development of personal integrity and self-evaluation. Six principles are discussed, including challenging negative core beliefs, focusing on positive thoughts, taking action towards goals, keeping promises, taking ownership of actions, and controlling one’s time. Other recommendations include cultivating better listening skills, keeping the prospect of death in mind, ignoring naysayers, and having an evening confidence ritual such as keeping a gratitude journal. Additionally, two techniques inspired by Stoicism are suggested: going to bed early and conducting a daily success review. Implementing these practices can lead to a more positive self-image and increased self-confidence.
