3 ways to believe yourself more than you doubt yourself

3 ways to believe yourself more than you doubt yourself3 ways to believe yourself more than you doubt yourselfYou need a deep sense of self-belief in order to do any of the things that you dream of doing. You need it in order to take the next step, no matter how big (or small). Youll need self-belief to use your voice. Youll need it to do whats right. And youll need it in the quiet moments where the doubt feels bigger than it actually is, threatening to muddy the belief you built.But trust, when youre tapped into that power, it doesnt matter how much the doubt rains down, self-belief will keep you dry. You might feel shivering with the chills of a wet cold. And you may want to high-tail it out of there. But you wont get drenched, because youve got the poncho of self-belief shielding you.Ive got plenty of days where the scales feel like theyll tip and stay forever on the I totally doubt myself side. Weeks where it feels like the doubting is winning. And you know what? Sometimes the do ubt does win, no matter how much Id like it to be otherwise. But coming back from doubt, and tipping the scales of emotion back to self-belief isnt as much of an orchestrated affair as it seems. Often, coming back to believing in yourself, to believe more than you doubt, comes from reminding yourself what youre believing in.Ask yourself why youre doing all of this to begin with. The thing your doubting. The situation. The relationship. Why are you there? Why are you in it? Anchoring matters.Do the thing. Whatever youre not acting on, whatever youre not saying, because youre unsure. Do the thing. Belief is built in the building.Reflect. Remind yourself of all the things youve done well. All the times youve doubted and it all worked out. Itll all work out again.When you feel like youre walking the tightrope between doubt and belief, keep your eye on you and youll have all the power youll ever need to not just endure, but to rise.This article was originally posted on MaxieMcCoy.com.
