Feeling stuck waiting for confidence to show up before you take action? You’re not alone. But what if the belief you’re waiting for only comes after you act?

In this episode of Personal Mastery, Harvard-trained behavior expert Jerry Henderson reveals the only research-backed way to truly develop self-belief — and it's not what most people think. Drawing on self-efficacy theory, self-perception theory, and powerful identity-based change models, Jerry breaks down what it actually takes to believe in yourself, even if you’ve spent years struggling with self-doubt.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why waiting for confidence is a trap — and what to do instead
  • The Self-Belief Loop and how action rewires your identity
  • What self-perception theory teaches us about real change
  • How to use the “As-If Theory” to behave your way into belief
  • The identity journaling practice that rewires your inner story
  • A science-backed method to overcome hesitation: the 5-Second Rule
  • Why you’re not faking it — you’re training the real you to emerge

Try This Today:

Ask yourself,
"What would someone who believes in themselves do right now?"
Then do that — even in the smallest way.

I am grateful you are here,
Jerry
