Quick Advice on Battling Self-Doubt

Believing in yourself is anchored in your identity. The more clarity you have about who you are, the more you can believe in yourself and manage yourself in a crisis. Here is the contrast between insecure self and secure self.

The Insecure Self

Insecure thoughts and behavior are grounded in self-doubt and self-protection (issues from our early years) that hold us back in two very important ways– self-doubt and its companion, self-protection (behaviors like image management and manipulation).

Self-doubt holds us back from growing as individuals and leaders. Generally, I see that people are more than they perceive they are. In the same way that physical shackles limit a prisoner, self-doubt is keeping them from stepping out into their full potential. When they don���t come through, it impacts not only them, but everyone around them.

The Secure Self

Find the courage to confront the lies of self-doubt that are keeping you in bondage. Reflect on your past successes, the affirmation of others, and the power of your passion and dreams���see the real truth and believe in yourself. Then courageously and confidently move forward and do the work���keeping your commitments to yourself and others.

Reflect on who you are and focus on both what you know to be true and what others whom you trust have told you about yourself. Use that evidence to believe in yourself���and then courageously engage to do what you know is right and appropriate, even when it���s a bit scary. That���s the recipe for living and leading with honor.
