You’re not the only one. Believe that much. Confidence is such a hard mindset to conquer. Just never stop believing in yourself. If you don’t love, trust, and believe in yourself, then who else will ...

Obviously won’t help everyone, but I used to block so much on the “h” of hello. Now I kind of answer the phone with a tuneful “yello!” No one notices and it means I can answer the phone semi confident...
