Confidence doesn't come from believing in yourself. It comes from having done the uncomfortable thing enough times that your nervous system stops flagging it as an emergency. Because nothing is actually hard, it's just unfamiliar.
The problem is that you don't know what you want to do, and figuring out what you want to do requires learning, experimentation, and effort - so you do nothing.
DO SOMETHING EVERYDAY, REGARDLESS. NOTHING WILL HAPPEN UNLESS YOU FIRST INITIATE A PROCESS OF CAUSE AND EFFECT. THIS STARTS WITH AN ACTION. REAWAKEN THE POSSIBILITY OF POSSIBILITY.
REAWAKEN IT WITH PLAY.

Tattoo this to your brain:
"The world is a malleable place. If you know what you want, and you go for it with maximum energy and passion, the world will often reconfigure itself around you much more quickly and easily than you would think.”

Stop trying to convince your subconscious you're confident. You're not. It knows. It has years of evidence. Instead, make it believe staying stuck is dangerous. Visualize the 10-year stagnation. Feel the disgust. Let it sink in before sleep. Your subconscious will execute an avoidance program. Not avoiding work. Avoiding the future you just impressed on it. That's how you create urgency that lasts.
