Secret Strategies To Conquering Self Doubt Revealed!!

18 Comments
Author: klazinaandersen

Having self doubt is a normal thing.  We are only human & we all have weaknesses.  One of the biggest weaknesses that prevent us to attaining success is self doubt, it has destroyed A LOT of dreams.  Therefore, it is crucial that we learn how to manage self doubt & turn it into our advantage.

The 1st step in managing self doubt is to remember that it is normal to have it but don’t let yourself dwell on it all the time.  If you dwell on your weakness all the time, it will become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The next step to eliminating self doubt is to train your mind to think of something positive or something that can perk you up.  For example, try to avoid saying I CAN’T DO IT but say I CAN DO IT instead.  Remember, if the WANT is strong enough, the HOW is going to take care of itself.

You have to believe in the power of the mind & if you are always pessimistic, then you could draw negative energy towards yourself.  Before anyone can believe in you, you first have to believe in yourself.  You should always strive to be in control of your life.

Also remember that nothing is impossible if you put your mind & action into accomplishing what you want in life.

Another great strategy for conquering self doubt is to face it HEAD ON.  You see, if you have the courage to stare FEAR in the eye, your fear will tend to subside.  It takes some courage & effort to face what you fear, but when you manage to stand up & face it head on, fear will run the other way.  Try it out…this strategy works very well, all you need is to gather up some courage!!

Get to know the root cause.  Try to find out what actually causes you to doubt yourself.  Go deep down & find out the truth, then look at it in a more positive perspective.  DO NOT dwell on it, learn from it & leave it behind.  When you are able to uncover the root cause, you will be able to put it to rest.

STAY AWAY from negative people at all cost.  Negative people can ruin your life, they can destroy your hopes & dreams.  So please stay away from people who like to complain why they can’t do this or that.  Stay away from people who always try to blame others & stay away from those people who always try to give excuses why they can’t do this or that.

Read personal development books.  One great strategy to perk yourself up & boost your self confidence is to read self help or personal development books.  Of course, don’t just read them, APPLY THEM in your daily routine.  If you do that, you will be well prepared to face it when self doubt comes your way.

Besides reading personal development books, you can also attend seminars or trainings that teach you how to become more self reliant.  Again, please remember that all these books & trainings are great, BUT the greatness can only come out when you actually use & apply them in your real life.

Have a highly inspired day…your friend Steven Suchar

    You are totally right Steven! So many people are too caught up trying to find the “secret” to marketing online and they don’t realize that actually what holds them back is their self doubt. When you are determined to achieve your goals you can make ANY method work – articles, video etc. It’s all about moving forward through the rough patches!

      Hi Rachael!

      Thanks for visiting me today, it’s so nice to see you again. :)

      I totally agree with you, when all is said & done, there really are NO secrets. I’ve found by being a ‘sponge’ & then applying what I’ve learned, seeing results from my efforts is a natural self doubt ERASER.

      Please stop back anytime now!!

    Hey Steven,

    this post is really great and the information that you covered blows my mind away. I did my first interview today for motivational speaking, and trust me I was SOO AFRAID.

    Although I put everything together and FACED this challenge. Guys, there´s no such thing as failure. Keep in mind that learning how something doesn´t work will help you to figure out how it works.

    Awesome stuff.

      Hi Gerald!

      I truly admire your courage, which is exactly what one needs when stretching to the next level, KUDOs to you. :)

      Anticipation is always THE KILLER on our psyche’s & usually not the event itself. I have learned to let the ‘tidal wave’ of emotions RUSH through, it’s when we try to CONTROL them…then the trouble really begins.

      Thanks for your visit today!!

    Great post as always and you are so true – especially being around negative people all the time – that really drains a person as my ex’s family was like that – the ole poor me – if anything wrong is going bad it will be to me – I didn’t realize just how bad till I got away from it – thanks for a very informative post.

      Hi Nancy!

      It’s so nice to see you back ’round. :)

      Ah yes, the ‘poor me victim’…I believe there’s a minimum of 1 per family, at least. Those types could even suck the life force out of a rock if they tried hard enough.

      Thanks for stopping by today!!

    Hi Steven,

    Great thoughts on turning around self-doubt. As a long-time proponent of positive thinking, I’m right there with you.

    The mind is powerful and so are the emotions that go along with our thoughts. If you’re spinning out in a negative direction, it helps to reach for a better thought, one that moves you to a more positive feeling as well.

    Sometimes I feel better if I just pet my cat!

    Have an amazing weekend,
    Jan

      Animals are very soothing when we are ‘flight mode’, they possess the ability to calm us down just by being there for us. We must live in harmony with them.

    Steven,

    These are all excellent points! I especially agree with the one about being around negative people. Not only do we become like the 5 people that we spend the most time with but negative people are so draining and can really do a number on our confidence if we hear their messages enough.

      Hi Stacy!

      It’s wonderful seeing you again. :)

      When we are surrounded by negative people on a daily basis (sometimes family)…it can take everything we’ve got to not let it affect us. This is the time to really load up on positive Blog posts, quotes & affirmations for sure.

    Thank-you Steven for a well thought-out article on self-doubt. You have made some very revealing points that will be helpful for anyone experiencing self-doubt. I especially like the point about facing the doubt head-on. Usually when you have the courage to face a fear, you find that it is just an illusion of a possible future, not necessarily an actual one.

      Hi Jeannette!

      I love your viewpoint on fear & the wording that you use to describe it. :)

      Anticipation does a number on our ‘psyches’ & starts the carousel of anxiety/panic spinning at a fast pace, elevating self doubt. It is ultimately up to us if we want to surrender energy over to those illusions!!

      Til next time…

    Hi, what a great post. Self doubt is something I have struggled with aplenty in the past. I have now learned to see fear as an opportunity for growth whereas before I seemed to be directed by it, I believed my fears fully. Life is so much more exciting now that I manage tp move through them, Thank you

      Hi Eleanor!

      Thanks for taking the time to stop by today, it was very thoughtful of you. :)

      It’s so cool to hear that you have grabbed fear ‘by the horns’. I have learned too, not to try & control it, but let the emotions flow through (ride the wave). Then, every experience MAY become easier than the last!!

    Wow you have a great blog here Steven…I really love this theme ;)
    As far as self doubt goes, it robs us of our true potential in most cases. The key for me is to know that there is abundance in the Universe and that I have unlimited access to that abundance.

      Hi Terry!

      Thanks for your words of support & encouragement. :)

      I totally agree, abundance is out there for the taking…the trick is tapping into it. At times, our minds sabotage doing so.

      It’s neat that you stopped by today!!

    Hello Steven,

    It’s great to be back on your blog again and this post is why I keep coming back. Self doubt is our worst enemy because it lives in our head. You make some great points here. Applied knowledge will help us change the negative self talk that we have with ourselves.

    Here’s something else that works for me…exercise. The act of getting up and having some kind of physical activity always makes me feel better about myself.

      Hi Golda!

      I just love it when you come around. :)

      I agree, exercise & sweating is an excellent way to cleanse our bodies of physical & psychological toxins. In addition, it’s a wonderful way of burning off excessive energy that might lead to a high anxiety state and/or panic attack.
