Confidence ยท 3 min

The two-minute start

Confidence is built by evidence. This gets you two minutes of evidence before doubt finishes its argument.

How to do it

  1. Name the thing you have been avoiding.

  4. Stop when the two minutes are up, even if you want to continue.

You have done the thing once. That is different from believing you could.
