Imagine that you’ve studied your hardest for the school entrance exam, and the day of the exam has finally arrived.
Or that you’ve put time and effort into preparing a presentation, and now it’s showtime.
Although you hope to do your best, at the very last minute you are hit by a wave of anxiety. For some people, it may be that the harder they try, the more anxious they feel.
When that happens, take a look at what lies beneath the anxiety. I expect that what you will find is self-confidence.
Once you can recognize the self-confidence beneath your anxiety, you will be able to overcome whatever anxiety you may be seized by.
This is why it is so important to make a habit of believing in yourself.
It is often said that if you want to develop confidence in yourself, the first and most difficult challenge is to stretch the limits of your own mind. Doing so will lead to a sense of accomplishment, and little by little your accomplishments will boost your confidence.
Everything will be all right.
You’ve made it this far already, haven’t you?
