I am assuming by the title of this article you may be experiencing or slowly making your way down the self-doubting lane. We’ve all been there, but it’s important to handle such a feeling with caution. Being intentional with the way one uses the lack of confidence is vital. Even though it may seem like everyone around you is prospering and making giant headway with their life, you have to realize that you are on your way to receiving all that is for you just the same. So here are some words of encouragement to kick start that engine of confidence once more.
Be proud of your peers for it is a direct reflection of how you will be proud of yourself.
If you are stingy with the way you say “congrats” under your friend’s newly accepted position post, then you are inevitably harvesting the feeling of jealousy. If this happens, then it will be way harder for you to focus on your own path and to be proud of what you are doing to get there.
It’s never easy dealing with doubts, especially when they are about yourself.
You have to be your number one fan! Not to say your peers aren’t allowed to support you, but if you do not plant that seed of self-acceptance, joy, and belief… then it will not matter what anyone else around you says. Because you do not even believe it yourself. Take the time to nourish this area of yourself if you are having a hard time right now. Journaling, putting affirmations/quotes on a sticky note, or remaining discipline with your goals can help you reap the benefits of staying true to yourself.
Even if it may not be easy…no one said it was impossible.
When you believe in yourself and accomplish goals you never thought were actually possible, you begin to see boundaries that you put up to be broken and achievable. There is no better feeling than completing something you first saw as unattainable. Prove it to yourself that you deserve everything coming your way. Embracing the good and good lessons to come. Because you are worthy of goodness. Are you up for the challenge?
When this sense of belief starts to muster inside of you, it will begin to flow endlessly. All you have to do is trust and let go of what is holding you back. This could include pointless time wasters such as another night procrastinating on your assignment because of the newly released episode that can be seen again at a later time just aired and has been running through your mind all day. Even though it may be tough, trust yourself enough to be serious about new opportunities coming your way. Putting your priorities in order and being active on the goals you have for your future is crucial to receiving all the blessings you were meant to enjoy and experience in life. REMEMBER: Believe that it is possible and trust in yourself. You are capable of more than you know, the world is waiting to see what you have to share. Anything is possible!
