Mindset shift?

There's no trick to confidence, it's the result of hard work and time. Confidence is what you get when you succeed in situations where failure has real consequences.

There are ways to get there, though. Pick something you don't know how to do, and learn it. Something like... playing guitar, or learning to dance, or taking up a sport, or start taking improv comedy classes. Give yourself permission to suck at it at first, and keep working at it until you get better.

As far as the mindset shift, figure out how you're judging yourself. For example, many women are insecure about their appearances because they have an image in their head of The Perfect Woman, and all they can see about themselves are the ways they're different than their image of perfection. If you're constantly insecure, check your criteria for how you judge yourself. Now, if you do that and still don't like how you judge yourself to be, that's when you have to work to change.

Step 1: get jacked.

Step 2: get more jacked.

Step 3: whilst you were getting jacked, your confidence has skyrocketed.
