Think of something you are facing and doubt you can handle. Self-efficacy is specific: it applies to this, not to you as a person.

Why does it work?
Self-efficacy (Bandura) is one of psychology's most robust theories: situation-specific confidence predicts attempts and persistence, and is built mainly from one's own mastery experiences, then from models, encouragement, and reinterpreted bodily signals. Reinterpreting tension as arousal has its own experimental support (Brooks 2014, anxiety reappraisal).
