Bonus - How can I become more confident?

Confidence comes from being repeatedly courageous. 

Think back to when you where a child. Reading the alphabet was a challenging task. Yet, by repeat being courageous enough to read out the letters we gained more confidence, until we become fully confident and move onto harder challenges, phonics, words, sentences, paragraphs and books. Remember how much you failed to gain confidence at each stage. Be courageous and willing to fail, learn and grow if you hope to gain future confidence.
