How to be more confident: 5 effective tips

When a task feels overwhelming, your brain may try to protect you by avoiding it. But the trick here is to face challenges instead of avoiding them-- this will make you more confident.

Most often, the hardest part is starting, and once you begin, momentum takes over. Over time, this practice rewires your brain to see action as less intimidating, steadily boosting your confidence with each completed task.
