Let’s be honest — feeling confident isn’t about waking up one morning and suddenly believing you're unstoppable.
It’s messy. It’s uncomfortable. And a lot of times, it feels like you’re faking it.
But guess what? That’s normal. Confidence isn’t something you “have” — it’s something you build, one small step at a time.
Here’s how you can start (even if you’re doubting yourself right now).
1. Forget the “Perfect Timing” Myth
Waiting until you feel confident to take action?
You’ll be waiting forever.
The truth is: action comes first. Confidence follows.
Even a tiny action — sending the email, speaking up once, trying that new thing — tells your brain, “Hey, maybe we can do hard stuff.”
2. Collect Small Wins
You don’t need a grand, movie-montage moment to feel proud.
Start by stacking tiny wins.
Went to the gym for 10 minutes? Win.
Asked a question in a meeting? Win.
Said "no" when you needed to? Massive win.
Small wins are proof that you're moving forward — even if it feels slow.
3. Talk to Yourself Like You Would a Friend
If you wouldn’t tell your best friend, "Wow, you’re such a
failure for making one mistake," don’t say it to yourself either.
Catch that negative self-talk and flip it.
Be gentle. Be encouraging. You
’re doing better than you think.
