0Small exercises to build self confidence :
Daily Affirmations :
Start mornings by standing in front of a mirror and saying three positive things about yourself, like "I am good in accountancy”, I am capable in math" or "I am a good friend." This rewires negative self-talk into self-belief, taking just 2 minutes.
Power Poses :
Before going to the college, strike a "superhero pose"—feet apart, hands on hips, chest out—for 2 minutes. It boosts hormones linked to confidence and can be done privately at home in front of the mirror.
Small Goal Wins :
Set one tiny, achievable daily goal, such as walking or meditating or jogging for 10 minutes or completing certain task daily. Track it in a notebook and celebrate with a treat; repeated successes build trust in your abilities.
"I Am" Reflection :
Draw yourself in the center of a page, list your roles (student, sibling, cricketer), and surround it with 5 strengths like "creative" or "persistent." Review weekly to appreciate your full identity.
Talk to Yourself Kindly :
Each evening, journal one thing you did well that day, no matter how small, like helping a classmate. This shifts focus from failures to progress, ideal for board exam stress.
