Building self-confidence

There are certain areas in your life that you feel a little bit more confident in, and other areas maybe not so much.

Confidence is when we have belief in our abilities to accomplish whatever it is we are setting out to do.

How do we learn to have more of it?

1. Quote: "The no. 1 way to build confidence is to build competence."
(meaning getting really good at something.)
Put in the time.
(Be persistent.)
We wanna make sure that the initial goals we set for ourselves aren't too complicated.
Can you break down your goal into smaller more achievable steps?
(Start small.)

2. The other way that we can also build confidence is to celebrate achievements.
We can also reflect on our accomplishments.
Quote: "We overestimate what we can do in a day, and we underestimate what we can do in a lifetime."
When we are feeling bogged down, because you just feel you didn't get enough things done in the day, then when you look at this list, it's a reminder of the things that you have accomplished. It's something that we've created over the last few weeks and months that shows us that we are capable of achieving many incredible things so long as we keep working on it and putting in the time.

The other way that we can celebrate our achievements is to just learn to smile and say 'thank you', when someone gives you a compliment.
