Do you psych yourself UP? - or OUT? Questionnaire

Do you psych yourself up? - or out? Questionnaire

Some people are good at psyching themselves up. So they OOZE confidence.
Other people are good at psyching themselves out. So they LOSE confidence.

Many people tend to lack self-confidence, partly due to their unconscious habit of talking themselves out of things.
Whenever they are faced with a challenge or difficult situation they start talking to themselves about how they won’t be able to do it; how they will probably fail and how other people won’t like them. They say to themselves, “I can’t do this”. As a result of these negative thoughts, their confidence levels go down and their anxiety levels go up. And as a result of these negative emotions, their performance suffers and their chances of success slips away.

On the other hand, some other people tend to build-up their self-confidence. This is partly due to their unconscious habit of talking themselves up. whenever they are faced with a challenge or a difficult situation they start to talk to themselves about how they can solve the problem by analysing its causes, and figuring out what they could do to achieve their goals. They say to themselves, “I can do this”. As a result of these positive thoughts, their confidence tends to build and they feel no anxiety. And as a result of these positive emotions, their performance improves and their chances of success soars.
