Confidence builders?

What's something you're confident you can do? What makes you so confident about that?

If you don't know how to fix something, are you more confident after you researched how to do it? If you fixed that something millions of times before, are you super confident you can fix it again the correct way?

For me, experience and research has helped my confidence. Reading websites like this, dating advice books/articles, etc. can make you feel more prepared. Though, you can do all the research in the world, but if you don't actually do it, how can you truly learn? Experience and application of researched ideals has been the #1 way for my confidence to build.

Unfortunately, that did include many failed attempts. But, Michael Jordan's famous quote: "I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."

I never had sex or dated till I was 21. Failed many, many times at picking up girls. Years later (now), I can go to house parties, make out with multiple girls, and take one of those girls home with me. What's changed? Confidence from experience and research.

Meditation. It helped me to see the truth of who I really was. I had low self confidence because I viewed my self through the distorted lenses of 20+ years of emotional baggage.

When you start meditating you start to shed those layers of distortion. You start to see that you've got strengths and weaknesses just like everybody else. That you're capable of so much if you just trust your self and let go of limiting yourself.

That has been the best way for me to boost my confidence.
