Quick answer
Confidence is built through evidence. Taking small, repeated actions and noticing what you handled well gives you proof that you're capable — and that proof becomes confidence.
Confidence is a result
We often wait to feel confident before starting. In practice, confidence follows action: you try, you survive, you improve, and you start to trust yourself.
Create small wins
Choose tasks you can complete this week. Each finished task is a piece of evidence.
Keep an evidence log
Write down every step you took despite doubt. On difficult days, reread it.
