An increase in self-confidence is a sign of Growth. Self-consciousness, self-doubt, and fear seem to fade away with the ongoing recovery process. So we become more willing to try new things, accept new challenges, and do further work on ourselves. The pain and negativity related to past experiences has diminishing power over time. We can relax into the knowing that life is on an improvement track and all is on time as it relates to our Growth.
