4. Set a Small, Achievable Goal

Accomplishing a goal, no matter how minor, gives you a tangible sense of progress. Setting micro-goals—like drinking a glass of water, tidying your desk, or sending a thank-you message—creates momentum and self-belief that carries you through the day. Days when you intentionally check off even a single task feel different from aimless ones. Each completed goal is a reminder that you’re capable and proactive, strengthening your confidence with every small victory.
