Yeah, this is obviously a very superficial approach, and it won't solve any deep-rooted confidence problems. Which is why I said that I have my doubts about it.
Honestly, I don't think I can help you much without more context. But I think you need to drop this idea that you have to change your whole life in some profound sense. By creating such an ambitious (and frankly vague) goal you're setting yourself up for dissapointment.
Personal development is not an all or nothing deal. If you want to build your overall confidence you'll have to start small. One thing you can do is to create a good morning routine. This is excellent because it will help to "set the tone" for the rest of your day. This is how you could spend the first 40 minutes after you wake up.
a) get out of bed as quickly as humanely possible
b) do some stretching and light exercise (e.g. jogging and pushups)
c) splash some cold water in your face or take a shower
c) read some PD material on the internet (or just print some copies)
Try this routine for 5 days in a row and evaluate how it improves the quality of your days. Maybe, just maybe, you'll find that it creates a ripple effect that makes it easier to improve on other aspects of your life. That could be a start at least.
