Building confidence takes time, and it is a real investment in yourself. With fitness, it is common to lack confidence in the gym or when looking in the mirror. Even competitors battle with this.
1) Building Confidence in the gym comes as a result of knowing how to properly perform the exercises and focusing on the end goal only. Putting these two together will allow you to completely disregard the gym creepers, immature gym gigglers and most thoughts of being under a spot light.
2) Remember how far you've come and not how far you have to go in your fitness journey. You want to see progress, and you will as long as you trust the process! Even a mindset change from being undisciplined to determined is a form of progress. And beating yourself up or always looking for what needs improvement can be more discouraging than encouraging. If you've been on your fitness journey for a while; chances are, you've made progress somewhere. You have to learn how to be proud of every pound, or every inch you lose because its still an accomplishment. Being able to exercise at a higher intensity than where you started is a huge accomplishment as well. And the biggest accomplishment of all is staying consistent while working towards the goal you set in place.
Of course this is aimed at fitness, but these two tips can be applied to other areas of you life as well.
