Any tips for building better self efficacy?

I have realised that I have been suffering from a degree of learned helplessness. I've have not had what people call an internal locus of control and I have had quite low self esteem. I do have my reasons a difficult background and chronic poor health but I've had some decent medical treatment of late and I want to use this time to tackle my stuck life.

I need to learn to validate myself, to value process and progress over what others think of me. I want to learn basic self efficacy and to enjoy making those little incremental bits of progress in life that over time can really add up to something.

Any tips for this journey?

What kind of areas of your life do you feel you don’t currently have personal control of influence over?

I guess the first thing to do is identify the kinds you’ve become accustomed to asking for help with and take sone autonomy over them.
