Self-doubt is a human response to all the challenges life throws your way. Even still, it doesn’t have to stop you from overcoming obstacles and reaching your goals.

Here are valuable tips for defeating doubt and directing your energy toward more productive ways of thinking.

Forget about what everyone else is thinking of you

What someone said or did might not be about you (or about what you think it is). When you worry about what others may think or say if you do something then the self-doubt can quickly become stronger and you get stuck in inaction and in fear.

When that happens remind yourself that the truth is that people don’t really care that much about what you do or not do.

They have their hands full with thinking about themselves, their kids and pets, jobs and upcoming sports matches and with worrying about what people may think of them.

Stop Making Excuses

Self-doubt often makes us rationalize a situation to fit our emotional state. We may be afraid to fail, afraid to look bad, afraid to take on more than we think we can handle. So we become adept at making a lot of excuses for why an opportunity that presents itself isn't a good fit.

Don't be that one who finds excuses, be the one who looks for solutions.

Face your fears

Do not let fear or self-doubt dictate how you lead your personal life or operate your business. Regularly evaluate the worst-case scenarios as well as the risk-reward ratio and face the things that scare you head-on.

People who are afraid to fail never move forward or grow, personally and professionally. The more you push yourself, the more you'll realize what you are capable of. Eventually, you may even be able to reverse the negative effects of self-doubt and use it to challenge your limitations and achieve greatness

Surround yourself with the right people

Keep the people who encourage you, seek out their feedback on a regular basis. Distance yourself from individuals who are always pessimistic toward you, your business and your future project.

This will renew and recharge your motivation and make taking action feel more exciting and fun. And that will push self-doubts aside so that you can keep moving and get more small and bigger wins.

Take action rather than trying to convince yourself to change

Rather than try to convince yourself you can do better, just give it a shot. Even if you fail, Taking action is motivating and encourages you to try again which, of course, increases your odds of success and gets your thoughts headed the right direction, too.
