When you speak, don’t you tend to only say things that are mostly likely match your own thoughts, beliefs, and values? Otherwise why would you waste your breaths and time saying things you do not believe in? So every time you say something and commit to it, and then take action, the higher your self-confidence level will be; even if a negative outcome is the result. Self-confidence is all about taking action in what you believe in.
However, every time you fail to accomplish to do what you are saying, which is your words of commitments to yourself and others, the lower your self-confidence level will be. Even the smallest commitments matter. For example, if you say you are going to be at your friend house at 2pm, and then you came there at 3pm, then your self-confidence level will decrease. When you are not arriving at your friend house at 2pm, then you do not believe in your own words that arriving at your friend house at 2pm is important. When you truly believe in something, you would make sure you will accomplish it. Or if you say you are going to finish reading your book in one week, but did not finish until 3 weeks later, then your confidence will decrease. The longer apart you accomplish something from your commitment, the lower your self-confidence level will be.
