How To Cultivate Your Confidence

Identify your negative thoughts,
Your negative thoughts might sound like this: “I can't do that,” “I will surely fail”. This inner voice is pessimistic and unhelpful and will hold you back from achieving high self-esteem and greater self confidence.
Turn your negative thoughts to positive thoughts.
