29. [HOT TAKE] Kill Your Self Doubt Giant

I am so excited to talk with you today about a topic that not only I dealt with, but so many of my clients come to me with- Self-Doubt. I am giving you the best tips for overcoming self-doubt to develop your self confidence and self esteem. Self-doubt is one of the biggest things that holds us back from creating the life we want to live! It’s time to kill our self doubt giant for good.

Where does self doubt come from? [2:02]

• “Self doubt comes from a story that we tell ourselves, and for many of us a story that we have been telling ourselves for years.”
• “A story gets planted in our mind, and we water with our attention over and over again, until it becomes this repetitive, spiraling thought that seems to control our life.”
• “How can I take action, despite the fact that I may not have evidence, to create a new story that I’m about to tell-the story of being good enough, being beautiful, having what it takes?”

Tips for Self-Doubt [5:07]

• “Really get clear on what you want and who you want to be.”
• “We’re projecting our fear of judgment onto the world, but at the same time it’s really us who’s judging ourself.” 
• “Check your own judgment.”
• “Growth happens when we get uncomfortable- recognize that the fear and judgment of what others think is likely a huge obstacle that’s in the way.”
• “If we can’t escape judgment, why don’t we start focusing on ways things can go right?”

• “If you want results you’ve never had before, then you have to do something you’ve never done before.”

• “We don’t manifest what we think, we manifest what we feel.”
• “Our subconscious mind is not built to think in negatives.” 
• “If I tell you not to think about a pink elephant, you start thinking about a pink elephant! Your subconscious doesn’t think in negatives. It hears ‘Think about a pink elephant’.”
• “We need to visualize where we want to go, but also realize where we are in the present.”
• “We steal our own joy when we fail to let our best be good enough.”

Get Curious [22:45]

• “A big part of why we doubt ourselves is because we don’t know ourselves.”
• “We are so crippled by the thought of doing something wrong, that we don’t do anything.”
• “I was already living my worst case scenario. All of the sudden it became clear that I had nothing to lose and everything to gain.”
• “Let go of that self doubt, and say ‘I can do this!’”

You don’t have time to waste [29:20]

• “We don’t have time to put our goals or our dreams off.”
• “We forget that life’s not certain.”
• “Be the person that believes in you when no one else does.”
• “The areas that you doubt the most, are the areas that you care about t
