Confidence Is A Practice
You can’t simply hope that you’ll feel confident for your viva. You have to practise at it.
What can you do?
- You can put yourself in situations that give you experience and knowledge that you’re capable.
- You can reflect on your past successes.
- You can use different techniques – music, objects, reminders – to help you hold on to your confidence.
- You can learn more about the viva to help see how you right you are for the situation.
Confidence isn’t a hope-based feeling. You can build it. You can cultivate it like a gardener, trying different things until you have what you need.
So what do you need to feel confident for your viva?
