Hey there. When it comes to confidence, most of us have been taught that it comes only after we take action. The common advice is to just do the thing first and then your belief in yourself will follow. While action is incredibly important, I’ve found that this way of thinking is actually backwards.

Have you ever tried to “fake it till you make it”? If you have, you know how exhausting it can be. You’re constantly pretending, trying to convince yourself (and others) that you’re someone you don’t fully believe you are.
