The Confidence Project Entry 1: Identifying My Area/s of Focus

Henry David Thoreau once said:

I learned this, at least, by my experiment; that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.

I believe that the Confidence Project is a good stepping stone for me to improve my confidence. I am positive that as long as I also cooperate, my objectives will be attained.

My area of focus and 3 activities:

I think that the area I should improve on is that I am not very much confident in speaking in public. I always get nervous and end up not taking the chance to speak in front of a very large crowd.

1. I plan to start small. I will try to speak in a group of 3-5 people first. With this, I will be able to share my thoughts to others without stressing out.
2. I will speak in front of the mirror. I would like to see myself speak in order to become my very own audience. I will try to be my own critic.
3. I will reward myself after I speak in front of others. I will assure myself I did a great job instead of focusing on my mistakes.

I believe that everyone has the opportunity to improve. As long as we just focus on our goals and follow the procedures, we will surely achieve what we aim.
