Before you go to bed, pull out your journal and write about your day, the report should be accurate and honest. Fill it with all the highs and lows of what went on during your day.
Write down things that triggered you, as well as what you might have done differently. It is the process of being accountable for the good and bad, acknowledging the part that you played in each one.
Next write how you would like to see the next day go, positively and optimistically. Make a mental commitment to have a good day and imagine yourself crushing the day.

Then, you need to make a request to your subconscious to reset and start over. Since you are doing this before you go to sleep, it will have a more significant impact on your psyche.
After you wake up in the morning, also write in your journal. Remind yourself of your goals, your dreams, what you need to focus on that day, who you want to be and who you need to reach out to.
All of these intentions will get your mind right for the day and help you reaffirm your goals. By writing it all down you are holding yourself accountable, as well as starting off your day on a positive note. When you are in a positive state, it is a peak state to be in for confidence.
It may take several days of journaling to see the confidence boost but 10 minutes before bed and when you wake up is all it will take. What do you think about the 10-minute self-confidence boost trick? Will you try it? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
