Indeed. It is no easy task to accomplish. I find the best approach is in recognizing, through means of logic, that because you know for certain that a lie has been told atleast once and you neither know where that lie begins, nor where it ends, the only logical conclusion is that everything you know is a lie until you can verify otherwise. Of course, this must be approached with a sound mind and a firm understanding of how to find your ground again should things get out of hand… because they easily could if you try this without being ready for it
I wouldnt even say that it is confidence that is the key… I would classify it as being more of an absolute absence of doubt. You have to believe, beyond the shadow of a doubt. If you let so much as a single pang of doubt enter your mind you will undo what you have accomplished.
Start smallish. Start with something that you can back up with physical effort as well, this is where confidence comes it to build your confidence in yourself. Decide what you want to do. For me, the way I proved to myself that it absolutely works, I decided I wanted to be in better physical condition, so I altered my diet a bit.. Not drastic, just healthier food when ever possible. And I adopted the belief that I was losing weight at a rate far exceeding that which my slight change in diet should affect, and on top of losing weight I was also putting on muscle, even though I was not getting much exercise at all. The diet was a confidence boost, I was physically working towards results, but my belief, and lack of doubt therein, caused muscle growth which should not have been happening. From there it was only a hop skip and a job to a spell of expand dong +1.
