When You Doubt Yourself
Doubts come from past events. Every time something happens you associate it with a past event when you didn’t choose the right solution.
What you have to understand is that even “bad” choices are there to teach you something. When you get this, you will only take the lesson and don’t associate every similar event with that outcome you once had.
As I always say, you can’t change a past event, but you can change the perspective, how you look at it, to make it work in your favor.
Doubts are created by low self-confidence, because of past events as I explained earlier. Know that this is something we ALL experience.
The faster you accept it the sooner you can get started and make it work for you and your needs. All good things start with an equilibrate self-confidence.
To release your doubt identify the root cause of it. What is it that makes you feel uncertain?
Do you have doubts when it comes to taking a decision? When it comes to focusing on your business plan? You’re in doubt about your next meeting? Before giving a speech? Before making an investment? Or even when you have to choose between outfits?
If so, this is a strong signal that you need to pay attention to your self-esteem.
Doubt is a strong belief rooted in your subconscious mind. The good news is that you can change this belief, like any other limiting belief.
Start by replacing this belief, by working with yourself. For example, if it’s an outfit issue, start saying to yourself that you’ll look amazing no matter what you decide to wear. Or if it’s a doubt before a meeting, say that you have all the necessary skills for this meeting, and all will work out just fine.

SELF MOTIVATION
Let’s talk about self-motivation today. Read until the end, I have a challenge for you.
Being able to motivate yourself when facing an issue is very powerful. By doing so, will enable you to actually find the courage to move further faster. It also builds self-confidence and eventually, you’ll get the solution you’re looking for.
How to motivate yourself?
The first step, acknowledge your issue and accept it. Don’t ignore it, talk about it, or even exaggerate – people tend to exaggerate anyway and make a problem worse than it actually is.
The second step, after you’re done expressing your issue, the self-motivation steps in. Say nice things to yourself while looking in the mirror. When you’re observing yourself in the mirror you recognize your deeper self, anything you say while looking in the mirror is more powerful.
You can imagine you’re talking to a good friend – in the end, you have to learn how to be a kind friend with yourself first. You can say:
All of this is going to end in my favor in no time. Everything is going to be fine. I am in control always. I know I can handle this situation no matter what. Give yourself a smile at the end.
You can repeat the positive statements a few times, it will change your mood.
When you practice self-motivation in the mirror (can be out loud or in your mind) it might get emotional, you may even cry. It’s ok… It’s the same feeling as if you would see an old friend after a long time and you’re happy about it. This is exactly what is happening, you realize for how long you have ignored yourself.
Self-motivation will grow confidence, will boost self-concept.
In the third step, go about your day thinking about that special moment with yourself to keep a good mood. You will notice a rapid change of perspective about that issue, it will feel lighter.
I CHALLENGE YOU to practice SELF-MOTIVATION every single day for 2 weeks. Start your day like this, have a moment with yourself. Accept the challenge and share it with others, you can make a difference in someone’s life.
Accept The Challenge!
Look in the mirror EVERY morning for the next 2 weeks and say:
All of this is going to end in my favor in no time. Everything is going to be fine. I am in control always. I know I can handle any situation no matter what.
Give yourself a smile at the end.
Looking forward to hearing about your results!

What Exactly Are Affirmations?
Let’s break it down and have a better understanding of affirmations. An affirmation is a proposition or a statement that is declared to be true. Affirmations are your own words, addressed to self or another person, used with conviction. A statement is made when you know for sure something will happen or is true, and is made to remove any doubt about it. Thoughts you have daily, that you repeat over and over in your head (self-talk) become statements, affirmations, which further translates into manifestation – reality. If you become mindful about it you will notice this experience. Read More
