Giving yourself some credit is very important, even for very few milestones achieved. It is an excellent way to build your motivation and confidence. You have to repeatedly remind yourself that you can do it until it is right in your consciousness.
To do this, you must recognize your efforts at every step. Every success counts. Even if you try and fail, you have it as proof that you tried.
For example, when I coached a student with very low grades in the past, I kept reminding him that he is smart and good at math. He asked me, "How do you know that?" I said to him, "It's because you got a 10 on your last quiz, and if you can do that in a quiz, you can definitely do the same for your tests!" As I said to this student, the same goes for you. If you stay focused and work hard, you can achieve anything you want.
Throughout your learning process, the credit you give yourself will serve as a foundation to boost your confidence. Trust and success go hand in hand.
