Ideas and questions designed to help you find confidence and battle against timidity

We too often assume that we must accept the levels of confidence we currently possess. However, confidence is not a given: it is a quality we can learn about and develop in ourselves.

These confidence cards keep a variety of consoling and invigorating arguments at the front of our minds, ready for the greater and smaller challenges of our lives. They remind us, for the sake of confidence, not to think too well of others; to learn to watch our tendencies to self-sabotage; to imagine strangers sitting in the bathroom; to speak to ourselves in kinder tones and to remember that the greatest thing we should fear isn’t messing up, but dying without having given it a go.

How To Use the Cards

You might…

  • Keep the packet of cards to hand and refer to them at fragile moments
  • Stick one or two cards in your purse or wallet to remind you of fundamental truths
  • Tuck a card into a note to give to a friend when they face obstacles
  • Arrange the cards into a creative mood board as a reminder of the importance of forgiving yourself the horror of any first attempt

Ellie U. ★★★★★

My roommate and I started pulling a card each morning before work, and the questions caught me off guard in a good way. It's helped me catch the timid thoughts before they take over.

Victoria ★★★★★

I brought these to a small get-together and we ended up going through half the deck in one sitting, which surprised me since I usually dread that kind of stuff. The questions are gentle enough that nobody felt put on the spot, but they still pushed us past the usual small talk.

Sophia T. ★★★★★

I've been using these at dinner with friends to push past my usual shyness, and the question prompts are surprisingly good at sparking real talk instead of small talk. The confidence-building angle actually works because you answer out loud before you can overthink it.
