Abbi fiducia in te stesso.

Self-confidence.
Ah geez, I could make a bloody big fool out of myself with what's on the cards for this week.


Here's what I've decided. As a bit of a joke, I'll pick 6 things that the internet claims 'make you feel self-confident'. And I'll do one of these things each day. Then I'll give a critique of whether it actually worked. And don't get your hopes up, I'm sure as hell not. Here's a brief itinerary, starting from tomorrow since today's nearly over already.

Tuesday - 'Write yourself a list of the amazing things you’d love to do in your life, and make a start by simply looking into the first one or two things that leap out at you.'
Wednesday - 'Flirt.  It’s a harmless way to play around with connecting with people and having fun.' Oh boy, am I going to have fun with that one.
Thursday - 'Don’t think for a second that you can’t be confident.  There are already loads of things you do with natural self-confidence, you just have to notice them and get familiar with how it feels.  Look for the things you do where the question of whether you’re confident enough never arises.'
Friday - 'You have to keep your mind well fed, so write a list of 20 things that keeps your mind feeling nourished and make sure you’re giving them room in your life.'
Saturday - 'Write a list of the things you’re tolerating and putting up with in your life, then write down how you can remove, minimise or diminish each one.'
Sunday - 'Next time you’re at a social event, don’t just stick with the people you know – go and have a conversation with someone you don’t know and you never know what – or who – you’ll discover.'

For all those who lack self-confidence, think of it as a review column. This one's for you.
