"Imagine you're standing on the edge of a cliff, the wind in your hair, and the world below you. The view is breathtaking, but you're paralyzed with fear. You know you could soar if you leaped, but that voice inside your head tells you, 'What if I fail?' What if I told you that the only thing holding you back from flying is the belief that you can?

  • According to Miranda Orkulas, an author of Royal Public Schools, self-confidence significantly influences a student's academic performance, creativity, resilience, and relationships with peers. A student with a healthy level of self-confidence is more likely to take on challenges, overcome academic difficulties, and express their thoughts and ideas.

Sub-point 1: recognizing and eliminating negative thoughts

  • Self-doubt often arises from negative self-talk. One way to overcome it is by recognizing these thoughts and reframing them. Instead of thinking, "I can't do this," replace it with, "I might not know how to do this yet, but I can learn." I know this might sound corny however reframing breaks the cycle of fear and empowers you to take action.

Sub-point 2: Seeking Support and Feedback from Others

  • According to Linkden, self-doubt can be overcome by seeking the perspective of others. Positive feedback from others can remind you of your strengths and capabilities. Surrounding yourself with supportive people can provide the encouragement you need to push through doubt.

We've talked about Overcoming self-doubt and fear of failure. Next, let’s look at how to build that confidence through action.”

Sub-point 1: Stepping Outside Your Comfort Zone

  • Even though this statement is overused, it’s actually true. Confidence grows when you intentionally push yourself to try new things. Each time you step outside your comfort zone you expand your capabilities and boost your self-assurance.

Sub-point 2: Celebrating Progress and Reflecting on Successes

  • According to Harvard Summer School, recognizing and celebrating the small steps of progress along the way is very beneficial. Reflecting on what you’ve accomplished, no matter how minor it may seem, helps reinforce your self-belief and motivates you to keep moving forward.
