“I know I doubt myself. Any advice to remove that self-doubt?”

Doubting oneself is normal.

Truthfully, I probably doubt myself once or twice a year but it only lasts minutes-to-hours and not days, weeks, or months and is usually a sign that I am doing something/s right like…

• Acquiring new skills.
• Pushing myself beyond my comfort zone.
• Testing against current beliefs, paradigms, and habits.

Constant self-doubt is something that needs to be handled because ongoing self-doubt and ongoing “success” don’t mix.

Based solely on observation, it’s my position that ongoing self-doubt is a result of some or all of the following personal characteristics and traits:

• Procrastination
• Taking short cuts.
• Not putting in the necessary time and work.
• Limited belief systems.
• Being risk adverse.
• Fear of failure.
• Fear of success.
• Not being around people who truly want the best for you.

The solution to chronic self-doubt is self-awareness.

Knowing your true strengths, weaknesses, and tendencies.

Then, be brutally honest with yourself so that you can constantly improve what you can and be okay with what’s left.
