Unconventional Confidence Boosters for Creatives and Business Owners

Confidence can feel elusive, especially when juggling creative projects and running a business. Lately, I’ve been leaning into little rituals to ground myself like keeping a tiny carved wooden charm from an old folklore project in my pocket during big meetings. There’s something about the texture and the story behind it that feels like a quiet boost.

Does anyone else have a quirky or unexpected ritual that helps them feel more confident? Maybe it’s a specific prop, a phrase, or even a creative warm-up before diving into work. I’d love to hear what small things make a big difference for you!

Oh great, another “quirky ritual” post. Like carrying a stupid wooden charm is gonna magically fix everything. Just get over yourself and do the work!

I wear mismatched socks to important meetings because if my feet can handle the chaos, so can I!

Ah, youth. Mock what you don’t understand. Rituals carry meaning beyond your impatience.
