⁣I can totally relate to a sense of weight that self-doubt carries when I have a goal in mind. I have felt stagnant due to lots of overthinking.
•
Am I doing this "right?" • Will I do it "right?" • What will others think or say? • Will I be as good as (insert name here)? • Am I good enough? ... and the list goes on and on.
•
The picture in this post contains one big boulder labeled self doubt. In my experiences the weight was accumulated from various assumptions I had told myself.
•
At times it has felt like a battle because on one end I have my goal/vision and then on the other I have countless number of doubts or excuses that I have given myself that allow me to remain uncertain. There have been times when I've allowed my doubts to outweigh what really means the most to me.
•
How do I overcome these moments? I embrace myself by using an affirmation I created for myself that reminds me of who I am. I also utilize my circle of support, journal, and most importantly, I take action.
•
What I've learned by taking action in the midst of self-doubt is that it's a way to chisel away the doubts and create belief in myself. With consistent action, your belief will build to where you're not being weighed down by self-doubt, but instead carried upward by confidence and a belief in who you are.

Today take one action step in chiseling away at your self doubt and begin to reveal your true(th)-self.
