Imagine someone with a goal of trying to become more healthy through exercising more regularly and eating good quality foods. If they have never done this before or have failed in the past, they will likely have a lack of confidence in the belief in their ability to achieve their goal of becoming more healthy.

With that being said, the majority of us have new year goals. Or, we have existing goals that we are still working towards. It’s great to have different tricks and strategies to help us achieve them and they are needed. But, I can tell you now, one of the best things to increase is the belief in your ability to achieve these goals, or in other words, your self-efficacy.

Psychologist Albert Bandura coined the term self-efficacy and defined it as, “a person’s particular set of beliefs that determine how well one can execute a plan of action in prospective situations.”

We can have all the tricks in the world to help us achieve a goal, but if our belief in our skillset is low, it’s hard to attain the goals we have set.
