Over this past week, I have been reflecting on how self-doubt can have a severe hold on your life. Being confident in myself and my abilities has allowed me to explore new things and thrive. Overcoming self-doubt is a continuous journey and not one and done.

In this blog post, I will be sharing five things that self-doubt stopped me from doing and tools that help me overcome self-doubt.

#1: Believing in myself and feeling that I deserve to be where I am
For the longest time, I underestimated my talent and abilities. Especially when I faced difficulties and failed, I did not think I had what it took to be successful. When I look back on my journey and what I have experienced, I know that I have what I need to succeed and thrive.

Resources
  • The power of believing in yourself
  • How to overcome Imposter Syndrome

Tools that I apply
  • Get to know your own strengths and share them with people
  • Believe in your abilities and be confident

#2: Not talking about my accomplishments
Growing up, I was taught that it was a bad personality trait if you like to talk about what you have accomplished. It took me many years to learn the importance of promoting myself. Especially on my professional journey, I had to start being vocal about what I have accomplished to gain respect and recognition. I now value all my accomplishments and do not take them for granted.

Resources
  • How to master the art of self promotion

Tools that I apply
  • Track your accomplishments and speak about them
  • Celebrate your key milestones and reward yourself

#3: Asking for a promotion or what I want at work
One of the lessons that I learned that has helped my career grow exponentially is that you have to be in the driver’s seat and plan your career. Now I know that if I want to do great things at work, I need to ask for it and put myself in the right place.

Resources
  • How to ask for what you want at work

Tools that I apply
  • Plan your career development and make bold career moves
  • Ask for the new project or promotion that you want

#4: Sharing my story
This goes hand in hand with not believing in myself, I did not think my story needed to be told. I could not think about the value of sharing my story with people. It took me hearing people's reactions when I shared a little of my story to believe that my experiences are a gift that could help others.

Resources
  • How to tell your remarkable stories

Tools that I apply
  • Reflect on your story and the unique journey that you have had
  • Be proud of your story and share it with people around you

#5: Dreaming big and living out my passion
Especially since I did not grow up around people who were doing big and bold things, I kept my dreams mostly small. There have been many passion projects that I allowed remain a dream and never lived out. I sat on the dream of creating my blog for almost seven years. I did not think that my contribution would be valuable. Once I started living out my passions, my life was transformed.

Resources
  • How to live out your passion
  • Do you dare to do something great?

Tools that I apply
  • Find what you are passionate about
  • Do what you enjoy

Final Thoughts
If you have been letting self-doubt stop you from achieving greatness, it is time for you to overcome it and start making bold moves.
