When that self-doubt creeps in, I take a moment to evaluate the evidence supporting those thoughts. Are they based on facts, or are they just assumptions or self-criticisms? I try to reframe them into more positive and realistic statements.
Break down my goals into smaller, achievable steps. This can make them feel less overwhelmed and boost my confidence as I accomplish each step along the way.
Imagine myself succeeding and feeling confident in various situations, including public speaking. Visualization can help build my belief in my abilities and reduce anxiety. To not hesitate to reach out to friends, family, or a therapist if I'm struggling with self-doubt and confidence issues. Talking to someone I trust can provide valuable perspectives and encouragement.
This quest gave me a lot of knowledge to see my new condensed version of myself.
