What you're referring to is self-efficacy, or your belief in your ability in a specific thing. For instance, I had a professor in college who has a high self-efficacy for exercise - so much so that she wouldn't ever miss an exercise session - even on vacation. Most people display low self-efficacy there, and thus don't exercise on vacation. I imagine the sub would be designed to increase your belief in yourself in a general sense that would extend to developing high self-efficacy in many different areas of your life.
