Try to lose yourself, find flow, disengage from the outside world in a good  novel, a fascinating story or read about something new. Books, news reports,  documentaries, on and offline, read about other people’s stories and experiences  too. Listen to books in the car or on long walks, buy new or old books. Lend and  borrow books. 

Reading expands your vocabulary. Readers are curious, they discover more and  have a wider perspective on life to discuss theories and their thoughts or feelings  on many subjects. Learn and expand the mind again and again! Knowledge  empowers you. Research your favourite topic. Find a new subject, maybe a new  culture or language. Having a wide range of topics to discuss and debate gives you  huge confidence…

It took me a long time to regain my confidence. Positivity brought me confidence.  If you are confident you will be hopeful and optimistic.
