You are told to “be more confident,” “believe in yourself,” “don’t be so hard on yourself,” and you think, “well that’s a lot easier said than done.” It may seem hard, but it is do-able, you CAN feel better, using these confidence building exercises.

You keep yourself distracted with social media, television, and constant background noise, but when it gets quiet, those negative thoughts creep back in. That horrible thing you did five years ago, the time that boy hurt your feelings in fifth grade, the painful breakup you had six months ago. You probably just want it to go away and wonder how to get over something that happened in the past.
