Building Confidence
Building confidence has two distinct but essential components: managing insecurity and building self-efficacy. If you want to build confidence, you need to work on both of these two sides of confidence simultaneously
- Managing insecurity: build self-confidence
- Self-efficacy: build confidence through managing insecurity.

Managing Insecurity
The best way to manage insecurity is to acknowledge and accept it rather than immediately trying to fix it or get rid of it.
You need to build up the belief that you're capable of handling scary situations well. And that belief only gets built through hard-won experience, not clever insights or explorations of your childhood.

Building Self-Efficacy
Coined by the psychologist Albert Bandura, self-efficacy is the belief in your ability to perform well when faced with a specific challenge.
It doesn't mean the absence of fears, worries, or insecurities. It means you continue to believe in your abilities despite them.

Self-Efficacy Comes From Experience
- When you repeatedly prove to yourself that you can perform well in a given situation, you slowly build up a belief in your ability.
- Confidence requires managing insecurities well.
- It's hard to deal with your insecurity well if you don’t have the ability to manage them well.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
