The first topic I would like to delve deeper into is self-doubt. Everyone doubts themselves. It is one of the most natural processes in our life. Anytime we start something new, there is a level of self-doubt and it is important. Self-doubt is there to protect us from bad things happening, our brain is stopping us from acting because we might get hurt. And that's the key. It is a basic and very primal self-preservation mechanism that has kept us alive for thousands of years.
But the truth is, anytime we do something new, it will be scary. It is so normal. How scared we feel will depend on our past experiences and what kind of person we are. We all experience fear that sometimes manifest itself as self-doubt. The key is to recognise this while being kind to ourselves, dig a bit deeper and decide what we can do to move forward. Working with self-doubt is important so we can move from it. It can have a strong grip on us, not letting us move forward with our goals and vision in life.
Don't trust people who promise to teach you how to ditch self-doubt forever. It is wired into who we are as humans. But we can definitely work with it and learn how to unravel layers of it so we can live a more fulfilled life.
I invite you to download this worksheet which will help you to unravel your self-doubt, to see what is hiding behind it and more importantly what you can achieve if you work through it. As an extra bonus, I have created a few screensavers that you can download (click on pictures to download) and use on your phone as a reminder that you can always create change in your life.
