I wanted to talk about Self doubt.... that sneaky inner voice that holds you back from fully going for what you want!
Don't hate it, self doubt is just your ego trying to keep you safe. It can be annoying, I know, but it is just trying to protect you from all the scary things out of your comfort zone, just in case you die...haha.
We all experience self doubt, no matter what stage in our business we are in, all of us do! Whether we are just starting, making 1k or 100k in our business.
What's important is to acknowledge that this is not you, it is not your true essence and you can change these thoughts. These thoughts do not define you!
You don't need to let that in. Observe it and learn how to best deal with it so it doesn't hold you back and affect your growth.
The key to success is to know how to overcome self doubt in a quick way!
Here are 5 ways to overcome self doubt and step into the business queen that you are:
1) Affirmations: They help reinforce new beliefs and what you think of yourself. Your brain learns by repetition, if you don't believe you can do it, tell yourself the opposite again and again until you do. It’s a lot easier to affirm others than it is to ourselves, but we need to remember to encourage ourselves as well.
If you are struggling to have the confidence in your business try these affirmations:
I create massive success in my business.
I believe in myself and trust in my abilities to succeed in all that I do.
I attract high paying clients every day.
I have the business and life of my dreams.
I am working with dream clients.
I am an unstoppable business Queen.
2) Practice: No one was born mastering a skill. Skills are mastered by practice and repetition. Put yourself out there, keep doing whatever you want to be good at, the better you get at something the less you will doubt yourself. It can be tricky to put yourself out there but you have to take the first step.
3) Don't compare yourself to others: Everyone is on a different journey and you don't know what they have gone through. You can't compare yourself to someone who has been doing what you do for longer and even if they have been for as long as you, you have no idea of how things are for them behind the scenes.
4) Focus on progress not perfection: Perfection is just a product of your ego, again trying to protect you from failing or feeling not good enough. Perfection just holds you back from trying, it will make you miss opportunities and keep you from trying and practicing. Progress is what matters, you will get better overtime and that is ok, don't doubt if you can do it and just do it even if it is not perfect.
5) Believe in yourself and trust that you will get there: I know this sounds cliche but when you experience self doubt, just breathe and tell yourself that you know you will get there and everything is as it should be. Look back and see how far you have already come. Count your achievements and blessings, even the smallest counts. You got this Queen!
If others have achieved it, so can you! Stop doubting, step into your full power and go for it!
