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.
