How to build confidence?

A thread that will help you.
First we need to understand what confidence is.

Confidence is to believe in ourselves, believe that we can accomplish hard things.
The key word here is "believe". To believe anything, we need some proof.

If your phone didn't fall to the ground if you dropped it, you wouldn't believe in gravity.
To believe in yourself, you need to create proof that you can do hard things.

You get that by doing hard things.

They don't need to be super hard, just so hard that it stretches you and challenges you.
To become stronger in the gym, you don't need to lift 500 kg. It's enough that you lift something that feels challenging and that you do it regularly, that will make you stronger.

It's the same with confidence, do small things regularly that challenges you.
Write a list of things you want to do. Things that scare you a little or things that seems a bit hard but not super hard.

Then take this list and get started.

Every day do something towards this list.

Your confidence will grow quickly!
