Sometimes confidence is low because you’re projecting into the future and predicting a current endeavor will fail.
It hasn’t happened yet, but you are expecting it will.
Self discovery is never a bad thing.
And, there are many ways to start the journey.
You can discover the self-talk for yourself.
When you feel the negative emotions creep up: anxiety, anger, panic, despair, moodiness, hopelessness . . .
The good news: you’re very aware of the inner voice that’s tearing you down.
The even better news: there’s something you can do about — all on your own.
First, forgive yourself. We’re often our own worst critics.
The eternal quest for Motivation!
It always helps if there is a great reason WHY — an ultimate goal or purpose behind our efforts. But, that’s no assurance we’ll feel motivated.
It sounds like you may be equating assertiveness and self-confidence.
While these qualities may exist in the same person, I question whether or not we should equate them.
