You could fail at things. Half-ass several things so you don’t feel like a loser if you whole-ass something and aren’t an instant success?

You can’t fail at a hobby you enjoy, and unless you have significant impairments, you will get better and improve. That alone is enough to give people confidence - that times 3 as the list suggest is a strong support for One’s self confidence.

I needed this today. Far too concerned about my job. I’ve noticed it’s all I think about. Not healthy. Thanks for posting.

The key is convincing yourself that you have worth independent of your wins and to focus on not passing judgement on yourself.

A NOTE

  • By lessening the impact of failure or setbacks in one area of your life, diversification can protect your self-confidence. You become less reliant on any one of your interests, talents, or activities to define who you are and what you're worth when you diversify them. This implies that even if you experience difficulties or setbacks in one part of your life, you may still feel assured and successful in other aspects of it.
  • You are less likely to suffer a severe hit to your self-confidence if one of your endeavours fails, for instance, if you are an entrepreneur who has diversified your investments and company interests. Alternatively, you can stay motivated and confident by thinking on your accomplishments and successes in other areas.
  • Similar to this, you are less likely to feel like your entire identity is dependent on your academic performance if you are a student who has diversified your extracurricular activities, hobbies, and social groups.

Finally, by decreasing your reliance on any one aspect of your life to determine your identity and worth, diversification may protect your self-confidence. To develop resilience, adaptability, and a positive self-image that can help you maintain confidence and motivation in the face of obstacles, vary your interests, talents, and activities.

This sounds like a good one to try out, it seems plausible, workable and realistic.
