CHEER UP: a habit to build confidence

HOW CHEER UP CAN INCREASE OUR CONFIDENCE?

When we are in a down moment or lack of confidence, if we are cheered up (either by ourselves or by others), we will believe in ourselves more to take action, action creates an experience, the experience can lead to competence then confidence.

For example, I thought I could not speak well, my mentors cheer me up "You have the potential to speak well. Your current performance does not reflect your future performance. Just keep sharing and you will improve. I believe in you". I continued trying to speak then I improved then I became more confident.

We can be our own mentor or have a real mentor or a supportive community to be cheered up and keep improving.

Not even in a down moment, when we knock down a goal, we deserve to be CHEERed up either by ourselves or others. When we celebrate our achievement, our brain knows what is good to reinforce
