🗒️ Show Notes / Action Steps

🧠 Your Confidence Curve Challenge

1️⃣ Choose three simple, realistic actions you can complete this week (e.g. a 10-minute walk, tracking your water, finishing your workout warm-up).

2️⃣ Record them — write them down, note them in your phone, or tick them off in your AB Performance app.

3️⃣ Reflect — at the end of the week, ask yourself:

“When did I feel proud?”

“What moments gave me proof that I’m capable?”

“How can I build on that next week?”

💬 Remember: confidence isn’t about shouting the loudest. It’s about quietly collecting proof that you can keep showing up.
