Mindset and Confidence

Confidence – Trusting Yourself Through Progress

  • Think about what a confident person look like. How do they act, speak and even walk?
  • Confidence is not just something you’re born with—it’s something you build.

What is Confidence?

  • Confidence = believing in your ability to do things and trusting yourself.
  • It’s not about being perfect—it’s about trying, learning, and growing.
  • Example:
    • Learning to ride a bike: at first you fall, but as you practice, confidence grows.
    • at first you are nervous, you fall, scape your knees, but progress builds courage, you get up an you try again.

Connection to Mindset:

  • A fixed mindset says: “I’m just not confident. That’s who I am.”
  • A growth mindset says: “I can become more confident by practicing and noticing my progress.”

Confidence grows step by step—through progress, not perfection.

  • Every small success proves: “I can do this.”
  • Recognizing progress builds trust in yourself.

Applying Confidence in Daily Life

  1. Track Progress: Keep a progress journal.
  2. Celebrate Small Wins: Recognize steps, not just big results.
  3. Positive Self-Talk: Replace “I can’t” with “I’m learning.”
  4. Try New Things: Confidence grows by doing, not waiting.

Confidence grows with action, mindset, and recognizing progress.

Confidence grows when you stop comparing and start appreciating your won journey.

Who do you usually compare yourself to—friends, celebrities, classmates?

Confidence grows when you stop comparing yourself to others and start noticing your own path.

What is Confidence in Your Own Journey?

Definition:

  • Confidence is not being “better than others”—it’s being comfortable with who you are and how far you’ve come.

Short Example:

  • Imagine two people running: one on a mountain trail, one on a flat road. They can’t be compared because their paths are different.
  • In life, everyone has their own “trail.”

Appreciating Your Own Journey

Confidence grows when we focus on our own progress instead of others’

Confidence comes from valuing your own growth, not measuring against others.

Confidence means believing in yourself and trusting your abilities. It’s not about being perfect but about learning, practicing, and growing step by step. Every small success shows you that you can do more, and this progress builds courage.

Confidence is linked to mindset: a fixed mindset says, “I’m just not confident,” while a growth mindset says, “I can become confident through practice.” By noticing progress, using positive self-talk, and trying new things, confidence becomes stronger.

True confidence is not about comparing yourself to others but about appreciating your own journey. Everyone’s path is different, so growth should be measured by how far you’ve come, not by someone else’s progress.
