The key word is self-efficacy.
Recently, I often hear the word "self-affirmation."
Have you ever heard of self-efficacy?
There is a difference between these two words.
Self-esteem: The feeling of accepting yourself as you are, not just your strengths and successes, but also your weaknesses and past failures.
Self-efficacy: The feeling of feeling "I can do it" or "I can manage it."
Self affirmation and self efficacy.
As a common point, it is a feeling that increases by accumulating small success experiences, and I think that life is easy to live if these two senses are high.
Self-esteem refers to past experiences and looks at oneself now,
Self-efficacy envisions one's future by referring to past experiences.
Right now, both "self-esteem" and "self-efficacy" are "somewhat high." However, looking back, I think that [self-efficacy] was increased first.
Until a few years ago, I didn't read a book a year, so I had no connection with reading, but until I started using SNS to introduce books like this, I felt like I could do something.
In the first place, when I became a member of society and read one or two books a month, I never thought of introducing books on SNS or holding a reading event.
However, this is also a personality problem, and there are two types, "the type who can make an effort towards the goal" and "the type who will get results after accumulating."
If you are of the former type, your sense of self-esteem is higher than your sense of self-efficacy, and you are surely full of energy, so you can envision the achievement route and move forward towards your goals.
The latter type has a low sense of self-efficacy and self-esteem, so they use the feeling of "I feel like I can do something," accumulate small success experiences, and "Before I realized it, I became myself that I had never imagined." I think I'm making progress.
(I'm overwhelmingly the latter. (laughs))
[Self-efficacy]
It's hard to understand if you write it in 5 kanji characters, but to put it simply, it's a feeling of "somehow." Many people should remember this feeling. This feeling doesn't require confidence, grounds, or talent, so let's improve it little by little from today!

自己効力感は「私はできる」「なんとかなりそう」と感じられる能力で、自信や才能がなくても少しずつ養えます。私自身、数年前まで読書もほとんどしませんでしたが、SNSで本紹介を始める中で「なんかできそう」という気持ちが育ち、小さな成功体験を積み重ねることで自己効力感が高まっていきました。 この感覚は日常生活の中で意識的に取り入れやすいものです。例えば、好きなことを発信してみる、簡単な目標を立てて達成してみるなど、小さな挑戦を繰り返すといいでしょう。私が紹介した書籍『自信に根拠も才能もいりません。』では、まさに「自信を持つのに根拠や才能は不要」という考えが軸に書かれており、自己効力感アップのヒントが満載です。 また、自 己効力感は未来を前向きに思い描く力とも言えます。過去の経験を踏まえて「自分は変われる」と信じることで、実際に行動に移しやすくなります。このプロセスは私のように「積み重ねタイプ」の人には特に効果的で、日々の小さな「できた！」を積み上げていくことが重要です。 読書やSNSでの発信、または習慣づくりなど、自分に合った方法で自己効力感を育ててみてください。思い込みや苦手意識を払拭し、「なんとかなりそう」という感覚を味方にすれば、人生の見え方も大きく変わるはずです。
