8 Powerful Tips to Manage Self-Doubt and Go after What You Want
Self-doubt is one of the worst enemies when it comes to personal branding. You must be certain about yourself, your abilities, the capacities to inspire, add values, and help other people. When you doubt yourself, how would you be able to spread your message?
I remember back in high school, one of my teachers told me that I won’t go far in life, that I would not achieve great things. It made a big fat negative impact on me since I was adolescence that got very sensitive to most everything. (yeah I was a snowflake).
I created a narrative that always puts me down and lessens my self-esteem. I played safe and never felt enough. To the point, that life turned into a huge bubble. It felt good to live inside my comfort zone because it kept me safe from dangers. It was an ideal safety instinct.
I started to compare myself with others, listen to that inner narrative saying that I can’t, that it is impossible. I always thought about failure, felt like a beginner, felt embarrassed, and that I should never rock that boat. It is better not to bring out criticism. What a clueless modern world.
