could someone tell me a few ways to gain more confidence in myself?? (link)

Confidence is the feeling that you are sure you can complete a difficult or even dangerous task. You ask yourself, "Can I do it?" and then answer, "I sure can."
The way to gain confidence is to:
1. Break tasks into smaller units,
2. Acknowledge your success for each step, and
3. Learn from your mistakes to re-enforce your confidence.
1. Before you set out to perform a task or try to achieve a goal, you must realize that the activity is really a series of smaller steps. This is a basic concept in any type of project planning. Thus, instead of waiting until the end to determine if you are successful, you have a series of successes, leading up to the finish.
2.For each one of these steps or mini-tasks, you must acknowledge your success. Congratulate yourself each time you succeed. If you don't do well, correct your error. Take care about admonishing yourself, except in extreme cases.
3.This self-talk will re-enforce your acknowledgment of your abilities and increase your confidence as you go along on achieving the greater goal.
You can build your confidence by acknowledging your successes for each step along the way to trying to achieve a goal. The self-congratulations will build and re-enforce your confidence along the way to feeling like a champion.
I hope everything works out for you.
