In your intro you said you have no experience with magick, and that’s fine, you are welcome here there is plenty to learn but it can take a lot of time to understand some concepts.
What you could do though is get yourself immersed into something you already enjoy doing but this time do whatever that might be with the distinct intention that you are about to gain confidence and courage through the thing that you immerse yourself in.
Maybe you like walking in nature, maybe you like to draw pictures or paint. You might like to create things on a computer or really just about anything you like to do can be used with intent as a meditative experience all of your own.
For one thing, it will show you a little bit of what meditation is, what it can feel like and what you can do with it. Perhaps more importantly for you at the moment is that by immersing yourself with intent while doing something you already can do, while you do whatever it is, you can ask yourself what is confidence to you? What exactly does that word mean? How would you act if you had confidence?
By asking yourself a perplexing question and really looking into yourself while doing something you enjoy doing, with intent, you can pull the answers out all by yourself.
You can see in your mind and feel yourself having confidence already in you. It’s already there. You can see yourself having good conversations, saying things to someone and seeing them respond to you with interest. With this although it’s all in your mind you can accept yourself as having your own value. Your own value that other people can accept and admire.
As you go through your day try and keep saying to yourself “Good conversation” “Good conversation” and notice briefly each time you say it what that means to you. A little bit of good humour, lighthearted, overall positive, just a little self deprecating, listening to what they say and responding with interest, etc.
By connecting with yourself you can start to work your own magick and you can start to understand that change really can be made because you are already doing it.
