1 Know Thyself

Understanding your strengths and weaknesses is vital in any profession, but it's particularly crucial in creative fields where your personal expression is so closely tied to your work. Take time to reflect on what you do well and where you might need improvement. This isn't about dwelling on your shortcomings but about gaining a clear perspective on your abilities. By recognizing your talents, you can lean into projects that showcase your strengths, while also setting realistic goals for areas you wish to develop.

Often, our unknown fears may be terrible dampeners for the creative process. It may be the fear of starting some thing new - which keeps one in status quo, in one's comfort zone, or often in a mode where one tends to work with only incremental or minimal innovation. Another is the fear of being judged. Research shows about 1/3rd of successful well-educated individuals surveyed carry a 'creativity scar' where they pushed themselves into a shell, due to feeling judged for 'not being talented enough'. Most critical fear, however, is the fear of failure. But only more experimentation and taking more shots at the goal can help us beat failure. Also, we are all creative in different ways! We must acknowledge our fears, face them and let them go.

2 Peer Support

Surrounding yourself with a supportive community can do wonders for your self-confidence. Engage with peers who understand the unique challenges of your creative profession. These connections can provide valuable feedback, encouragement, and a sense of camaraderie. You're not alone in your experiences, and often, sharing your concerns with others who have faced similar situations can lead to insights and strategies that help bolster your confidence.

As you put yourself out there, you will find these who support your efforts and those who don't, which does nothing for your fragile confidence. But remember your goals and keep putting yourself out there. Eventually, as you grow in your competence, you will grow in your confidence as well

3 Small Wins

Celebrate every victory, no matter how small. Completing a project, overcoming a creative block, or simply sticking to a routine can all be considered successes. These accomplishments build momentum and reinforce the belief in your abilities. By focusing on these positive outcomes, you create a foundation of self-assurance that can help carry you through periods of doubt.

You can keep a success journal, where you record all your wins for the day or the week. Any time you feel your confidence waning, refer back to your journal, see how far you have come.

4 Continuous Learning

The creative industry is ever-evolving, and staying current can help boost your confidence. Invest time in learning new techniques, tools, or perspectives within your field. This commitment to growth shows that you're serious about your craft and willing to adapt. As you expand your skill set, you'll likely find that your self-confidence naturally improves along with your competence.

5 Constructive Critique

Feedback is a double-edged sword in creative professions—it's essential for growth but can be hard on the ego. Learn to view criticism as a valuable tool for improvement rather than a personal attack. When you receive feedback, analyze it objectively and determine what is actionable. Use it to refine your work; this process can be empowering and reinforce your belief in your ability to evolve and excel.

6 Mindset Shift

Lastly, work on shifting your mindset. Your thoughts have significant power over your confidence levels. Practice positive self-talk and affirmations that reinforce your value and creativity. When negative thoughts arise, challenge them with evidence of your past successes and abilities. Over time, this mental shift can lead to a more resilient and confident approach to your creative work.

From my experience, this is easier said than done, but it can be done. You will fail often, you will regress back to your old thinking, and you will definitely have bad days. That's reality. Just don't stay down when you find yourself there. It will get better with time and effort. That's a promise.
