How to build self-confidence
1.Practice Self-Compassion
For someone who has big goals, which I hope you do. It can be easy to experience self-doubt because the goals seem unattainable.
However, your goals are not the problem, they are actually great. But when you seem to not be making progress, do not doubt yourself.
Instead, be compassionate to yourself as you would others.
We are only human and all make mistakes along the way.

No matter how small the achievement seems to others, if it is something you are proud of, make a note of it.
These achievements remind us we can achieve things and get rid of self-doubt.

4. Be Mindful of Your Thinking
Negative thoughts pop into all of our minds. It is a natural thing for the brain to do as it is designed to protect us from risk.
Always evaluate whether you actually believe those thoughts and start thinking about the positive outcomes.

7. You Are the Harshest Critic
We tend to be harsh on ourselves and less harsh on others. Remember this when you are evaluating your performance and doubting yourself.
It will help you ease your mind and remind you that the things you are telling yourself are probably not true.

8. Identify Your Values
By knowing your values and how you seek to live your life, the criticism of others does not matter as much. You know your course and know where you are going.

9. Keep a Journal
Keeping a journal is therapeutic and allows you to keep track of how you are feeling. It helps you get all your thinking out onto a page and gives you a release from self-doubt.
The reason why is because as you read your problems, you may learn that they are not as big as you thought they were.
This helps relieve self-doubt.

10. Seek Professional Help
You may find that none of this helps. And that is okay. It is important that you are honest with yourself and do not be ashamed to seek help.
Remember, self-doubt will hold you back more than the embarrassment you may feel for a moment.
So, seek professional help and begin a gradual process back to confidence.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

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!
