Confidence Feels Like a Delicate Relic How Do You Protect Yours?

Lately, I’ve been struck by how easily confidence can crumble, like an ancient artifact handled without care. One moment, you’re solid in your decisions; the next, a single setback or offhand comment makes everything feel shaky. It’s wild how something so vital can be so fragile.

I’m curious how do you all reinforce your confidence when doubt creeps in? Do you have rituals, reminders, or mental tricks that help you steady yourself? As someone who spends a lot of time digging for truffles (and occasionally uncovering broken pottery instead), I’ve learned persistence matters, but I’d love to hear how others keep their footing when the ground feels uncertain.

Oh wow, I never thought confidence could be like pottery! When I feel unsure, I just hug my stuffed bunny and remember my mom saying “you’re doing great, sweetie.” It always helps me feel better!
