Building confidence Quote by Jonathan Berent
““Changing your immediate environment can be an important step to building confidence and trust within yourself. It can also be very empowering, because it enhances your sense of organization and self-control and lets you know you have choices. You may not be able to change an entire room at once (or your entire self) but little things add up to a big difference. If there are people close to you, you might enlist their help in executing your plan, if it seems appropriate. But be careful not to let them make your decisions for you—this is your choice, and it is important for you to keep it your own. At any rate, don’t be impatient, or you could become overwhelmed. Instead, make one or two meaningful changes at a time.””
