Self-confidence is a superpower. Once you start to believe in yourself, magic starts happening.
GET OUT OF YOUR FEELINGS AND TAKE ACTION
I’ve noticed that individuals that lack confidence, usually talk about thoughts and feelings, while individuals that have an abundance of confidence, are usually focused on taking action.
This tells me that we need to let thoughts & feelings go and just get moving. It helps when we support our actions with enthusiasm. I believe that enthusiasm is the fuel of any successful task.
I’ve noticed that most successful people maintain a certain level of enthusiasm, no matter how go or bad things might get. When they are up, they are not through the roof and when they are down, they are not in deep sorrow. They don’t focus on the small stuff and they keep a fairly steady level of positive energy.
We can’t control how we feel but we can certainly control what we do about how we feel. Our thoughts, decisions and actions are all affected by our state of mind so we should control how we live instead of letting little things have power over us.

One of the things that helps me boost my confidence is meditation. Meditation helps me center myself and realize that I’m doing the best that I can in that moment and to not get down on myself.
i’m working on confidence right now. i don’t really shoot or dribble a lot in basketball because of how i was taught so now i need to gain confidence to be able to be a playmaker. so how i am working on my confidence is i’m telling myself to do things when i’m practicing just to get used to doing it.
When my confidence begins to wane, I reflect back of my past accomplishments…..what I was able to overcome through resiliency and perseverance. That usually gives me the focus needed to chance my mindset – history has taught me that I have the power and ability to improve.
Visualization and positive self talk was a game changer for my confidence. I need to exercise it more during the off season.
I think especially during online school, before a test I like to stretch out. Getting smaller into yourself definitely doesn’t help your confidence. I try to have a growth mindset, but I have had a fixed mindset in the past.
For me It’s Zumba boost my confidence !
I have learned from Coach Q that confidence must be earned. So when I am not confident, I look back at the work I have done and reassure myself through that. If I didn’t put in the work, then I don’t think I deserve the confidence. Thinking about the work I put in not only gives me confidence to start off with, but boosts my confidence even when I already have some.
I definitely have a growth mindset, that I why I am willing to put in the work everyday and get better. I can’t remember the last time I suffered from a fixed mindset but I am sure I have before.
I always reflect on where I was, where I am, and how I got here. If necessary, I watch old film to remind myself of my abilities. Then, I realize that I’ve only gotten better. I also like to work on my abilities which gives me the upmost confidence. Knowing I’m prepared allows me to move with my head up and chest out lol
