The back-story:
Most of the time we'd like to be confident. To ask her out, to present with flair, to believe in our business idea, to finally start our family, to push back on our boss, to take some family time and not worry about e-mail.....Confidence is critical to our success and our health. It's easily lost: a negative comment, a rejection, a subdued audience, poor management. But too much of it and we lose our judgement and we drift towards arrogance.
So: confidence. How to develop it. How not to lose it. And how to use it.
Routes To Confidence 13: Do less to achieve more
Take some time out to gain perspective. Sometimes being very close just gives us more to worry about. Sometimes the more we practise the more we realise we could do. Stop, take some reflection time and put things in proportion. Breathe. Walk. Do a little less; it's a route to more confidence.
