Look in the mirror and say this..."You are one sexy thang!!!" three times a day.

Keep a journal.
Whatever it is that you are endeavoring to do, write about it after each attempt. What went right? What went wrong? What will you do to try to improve for next time? It's a way of logging your successes and your "successes in waiting" (also known as mistakes).
I had no confidence as an awkwardly shy teenager. I'm in my 40's now and teach junior high and high school. I have a WHOLE lot more confidence now than I did back then.
A lot of my confidence came from just plowing on through the tough times, refusing to give up, and making the most of my mistakes by learning from them. And yes, some of those mistakes had longlasting effects and were very painful.
But nothing builds confidence like surviving the School of Hard Knocks. And a great tool along the way is that journal.
I'm only 45. I haven't graduated from that school, yet. ;-)

It would depend on what you mean by confidence. Do you mean self-confidence or just plain confidence that you are able to do something. If you are trying to boost your self-confidence, start by accepting the positive things that people you trust say about you. This can also help you if you are trying to get yourself to believe that you have the ability to achieve a goal you have set before yourself. If you are trying to get up the nerve to do something such as perform in front of a crowd start by performing in front of the mirror then working your way up to your parents and so on.

Confidence is an attitude of the mind. Believe in yourself, and keep telling yourself " I CAN, I CAN, I CAN". Be all you can be, - Be determined to be. Accept each failure as a lesson on how to succeed the next time. Look how long it took them to invent the light bulb, or how many generations it took to develop the motorized vehicle, and how many failures they must have endured. But succeed they did, because they had the confidence in themselves that they could.

you can start by believing in yourself.
I recommend for you to read "The Power of Positive Thinking" by Norman Vincent Peale or books by Dale Carnegie.

work out, eat right, and constantly challenge yourself both intellectually and professionally.
WHen you look good and feel good, thats all the confidence you need. And having brains helps too.
