How do you handle fear and self-doubt?
There are so many things I feared as a child even as an adult and as it happens, self doubt creeps in like a thief in the night. The problem is not the fear we faced, the problem is how we handle it.
• The fear of not belonging
• The fear of losing someone
• The fear of not becoming who I wanted to be
• Tye fear of failure
• The fear of missing out
• The fear of rejection
What I understand about fear is that the more you feed it, the more it envelopes you, and the more you doubt yourself as a person. You just have to believe that fear is a thing of the mind, I am not saying that it’s a bad thing to be fearful, but how you handle it is what speaks volume.
So back to the prompt, “How do you handle fear and self doubt”?
I learnt that the more fearful I become, the more I doubt myself. Once the mind is triggered negatively, it is portrayed in the behavior.
What did I do differently? I started:
• Loving myself more
• Trusting myself
• Believing more in myself
• Speaking positivity into my life
• Being confident in myself
• Maintaing my boundaries
• Enjoying my solitude
• Taking more risk
• Exposing myself to new opportunities
• Spending my time judiciously
