Believing in yourself includes things like 

self-worth, self-confidence,
self-trust, autonomy, and environmental mastery.

 Self-worth is the sense that you have value as a human being.


 Self-confidence is a positive attitude about your abilities, qualities,
and judgment.
 Self-trust is faith that you can rely on yourself.
 Autonomy is feeling able to choose and direct your own behavior.
 Environmental mastery is your belief that your efforts will result in
the changes you desire.
These are some of the key components involved in believing in
yourself. Maybe you struggle with just one of them or maybe you
struggle with all of them. By understanding where your struggles lie,
it'll be easier to start shifting your attitudes about yourself.

Questions to Ask Yourself

Ask yourself these questions to better understand if there are things


that are getting in the way of you believing in yourself:

 Self-worth: Do you value yourself as a human being? Do you agree


that you're no worse than any other person?
 Self-confidence: Do you feel good about your skills, strengths, and
abilities? Do you feel good about your personal qualities? Do you
feel good about your judgment and decision-making?
 Self-trust: Can you rely on yourself? Can you trust that you'll do
what you say you'll do?
 Autonomy: Do you feel free to do what you want to do? Do you
believe that no one can stop you from reaching your dreams?
 Environmental mastery: When you take action, do you believe that
it will lead to the results you desire? Do you believe that you're able
to get the things you want?
If you answered "no" or were leaning towards "no" to any of these
questions, those are likely the areas that thwart your ability to believe
in yourself. Spend some time thinking more about how you might
shift these self-beliefs to believe in yourself more.
