Overcoming self doubt
Everyone doubts themselves. I’m sure you can think of many occasions when you second guessed what you were doing or told yourself that there was no way you could do what you wish you could.
In other words, self-doubt is a normal part of being human. What matters is how you respond to that little voice in your head that whispers “It can’t be done”. You have two choices when it comes to responding to that voice. You can heed it, or you can go on and do something anyway.
How you respond to self-doubt affects all areas of your live. It affects your personal life, your happiness, your relationships, work, finances, family etc. That’s why it’s so important to learn more about self-doubt and how to respond to it. By taking control, we can shape our life the way we would like it to be.
And that’s what this COURSE is all about. We’ll start by talking about what exactly self-doubt is and what effect it can have on our lives.
Next we’ll cover some of the reasons why we doubt ourselves in the first place, and finally wrap it all up by figuring out how we can break out of this cycle of self-doubt. After all what good would a guide about self-doubt be without some hands-on tools for taking control and banishing that little voice in your head.
My hope is that you find this course helpful in learning more about self-doubt, recognizing when you’re doubting yourself, and then finding a way for you to deal with it that helps you reach your goals, whatever they may be. I’m not promising it will be easy, but I do promise to provide you with the tools you need to accomplish this. Let’s start by taking a closer look at what exactly self-doubt is and what it can do to you and your life.
It may look like there is a TON of content in the course. We have taken great strides to keep each lesson super short with the encouragement to take each lesson separately and digest the subject. It is only through implementation that you will see marked advancements in this subject – so please take your time and dial it back a bit.
If you choose the “Community” option, you will have the opportunity to discuss your progress, questions or concerns in a safe, social environment leading to a better foundation for implementation and success. Let’s do this thing.

What is Self-Doubt?
Confidence is contagious and we’re attracted to people that seem to know what they are doing
Doubting yourself can also negatively impact your career and your livelihood.
It also means that you have to settle for a used car and a much smaller house than you’d hoped to buy.
Why Do We Doubt Ourselves?
Dare I say… the bigger and more spectacular your failures (provided you behave with grace) the better you may become.
Another big reason for self-doubt to creep up is fear of the unknown.
These are lies life throws your way. You can grow past your past.
We are social creatures, brought up in a social environment
Sometimes we’re just plain scared
The good news is that as you work on banishing self-doubt, your self-esteem will go up
It takes time and it’s ok to do stuff long before you know everything there is to know…

Here’s a cold, hard truth. We all have bad days.
find someone else to deal with it to keep your own self-doubt at bay
Instead of always focusing on the negative, make it a habit to focus on the good stuff.
you do that by recognizing it for what it is each time you can and then doing something about it
As you write about your day, you’ll dig deeper …
