Self-doubt is one of those friends who came to the party but wasn\u2019t invited. She hangs around whenever something new and great is coming up for us to honestly just be a mean b****.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever you do\u2026 don\u2019t confuse self-doubt with actual uncertainty in what you are doing. In reality this is just our ego warning us of what could possibly go wrong in the situation. It\u2019s just fear wearing another one of her masks.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t avoid it. Avoiding your self-doubt is ultimately just pushing off your task more. It\u2019s time to face it, totally head on!<\/p>\n<p>But how\u2026<br \/>\n<strong>Realize the present moment<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><strong><\/strong>When self-doubt kicks in so does some solid future tripping. You\u2019re doubting yourself because of what is to come. But what if you realized that hasn\u2019t even happened yet? Slow down. Live now and deal later. Don\u2019t spend your time making up outcomes when the action hasn\u2019t occurred yet. Instead of asking what if, ask why not?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Surround yourself with positivity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><strong><\/strong>For me it\u2019s quotes, mantras and some solid 30 second dance breaks. For you it may be music, reading or a cup of tea with a friend. Whatever you get your positive on with\u2026 when you feel the self-doubt coming on, bring it out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Connect<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><strong><\/strong>Who are you spending time with? When self-doubt comes up do you have a tribe to go to? If you do\u2026 good, then utilize that and connect when you need to. Don\u2019t be afraid to ask for help. If you don\u2019t, how can you connect to a helpful network? Maybe find a new local meditation class or a new meet up group? Maybe start your own! Your options are endless!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Take a break<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><strong><\/strong>When\u2019s the last time you had one\u2026..
