Self-motivation requires the ability to complete tasks without external influence even when challenging. Building self-confidence involves positive self-talk, learning from mistakes, not underestimating abilities, and keeping confident people nearby. Self-discipline means controlling feelings and habits by clarifying goals, planning, setting deadlines, starting tasks, and following through. Perseverance involves steady persistence through trial and error until goals are achieved. Overcoming shyness may involve accepting oneself, determining causes of shyness, practicing social skills, and not being a perfectionist.
