Self-Doubt

Self-doubt shows up in us in a few different ways. Second-guessing ourselves, over-thinking a problem, or imposter syndrome. Through the years, what I’ve learned is that self-doubt shows up when I’m on the edge of my comfort zone - and typically when I’m in a situation where I’m trying to improve or grow. In these situations, self-doubt is normal. We all experience it. What determines whether we grow or shrink is whether we listen to it, believe it, and allow it to influence our behavior. The more we do, the smaller our life gets. The less we listen - yes, of course, it’s scary, but - the more comfortable we get ignoring it, and the fuller our life becomes as a result.
