Have you ever doubted yourself?
Do you have this little inner voice trying to convince you that you are not good enough? The fear that you can not crush your goals; the fear that you will never be able to achieve your dreams. The truth is, that self-doubt kills your confidence and distracts you from becoming the best version of yourself. It holds us back from doing and experiencing amazing things.
Self-doubt is a common experience. But how do you overcome it?
Here are 8 powerful ways to overcome self-doubt:
Stop criticizing yourself
The key to overcoming self-doubt is to overcome your inner critic. What your head is trying to tell you is not you, you are not your thoughts, remember that. When your self-doubt tells you that you’re not good enough, tell it that though you aren’t perfect you are more than good enough. Do this as often as you need to and quiet that voice until you’re barely even able to hear it.
Surround yourself with positive people
The people you surround yourself with make all the difference in your life. Surrounding yourself with positive, encouraging, and uplifting people that support you and your goals. Talk to them about your self-doubts. Ask them for advice and encouragement when you’re feeling down. Opening up about the things you’re going through is really important.
Stop worrying about what people think
Self-doubt often comes from our perception of others’ thoughts of us. We are scared to take a step forward and be judged by other people.
You should just be happy and love yourself. Put yourself first and make your decisions with you in mind, no one else.
