Confidence… or lack of

Lack of confidence often halts our plans. We delay decisions, thinking we need to feel more confident first. But confidence comes from taking action.

Low confidence often masks:

  • Fear of failure or success
  • Lack of experience
  • Poor decision history
  • Belief issues
  • Future worries

    • Action steps to build confidence:

    1. Be specific: Identify the exact situation you lack confidence in.
    2. Question it: Have you faced it before, or are you predicting the outcome?
    3. Schedule it: Plan actions that will boost confidence in that area.
    4. Practice: Repeat actions regardless of your current confidence level.

      5. If you want to be a PT but lack confidence:

      • Set a decision deadline.
      • Choose a supportive course.
      • Stick to your decision and plan regular actions.
      • Take action despite low confidence; it’s the best remedy.

        • Your training course is a great opportunity to grow into the PT you need to be.

        Practice makes perfect:

        • Work with case study clients.
        • Hone your organizational and communication skills.
        • Believe in yourself and stay positive.
