>For in everything that men do the body is useful; and in all uses of the body it is of great importance to be in as high a state of physical efficiency as possible. Why, even in the process of thinking, in which the use of the body seems to be reduced to a minimum, it is matter of common knowledge that grave mistakes may often be traced to bad health. And because the body is in a bad condition, loss of memory, depression, discontent, insanity often assail the mind so violently as to drive whatever knowledge it contains clean out of it. But a sound and healthy body is a strong protection to a man, and at least there is no danger then of such a calamity happening to him through physical weakness: on the contrary, it is likely that his sound condition will serve to produce effects the opposite of those that arise from bad condition. And surely a man of sense would submit to anything to obtain the effects that are the opposite of those mentioned in my list.
Diet, go to the gym, learn a martial art.

read 'cant hurt me' by david goggins.

self-confidence is something you choose to have, never mind all of these self-help books or whatever.

>> No.13091349

Self confidence stems from experience. You're confident about something because you're experienced in it (and if not, that's low self-esteem, impostor complex etc).

>>13091319
"choosing" to be self confident is mere arrogance, claiming experience in something you're actually incompetent at.

This. Instead of reading about how to be self-confident, think about what you find important and then set goals for yourself based on this.
Then work very hard for a couple of years and when you finally have some kind of achievement, you'll be more self-confident.
