Confidence isn't a permanent state - how often do you hear sports commentators refer to a player or team losing confidence after a run of bad results.

Its always useful to remind ourselves of what we are good at, our successes. If you have a tendency towards perfectionism you will hear and dwell on the one critical comment and ignore the multitude of praise. Ultimately its like changing any habit - hard work.

My blog is about self confidence, my recent post Dealing with Perfectionism gives more suggestions.

Thanks David. I read the article and added you to my rss feeds. I recently have taken up confidence as a central focus on my blog, but I end up talking about meditation. Probably because it's what I'm supposed to talk about. Thanks again.

That is a great definition. I wrote about this myself in this post The Confidence Mindset on my blog.

And thanks for the link. You're right, that is an awesome blog.

I think you have written one of the most authentic responses to my question.
And I totally agree with you. Belief is at the heart of the matter.
