What do you do if you're struggling with self-doubt and need to boost your confidence?

Cuando enfrento un nuevo reto y tengo dudas, escribo 3 posibles respuestas o acciones para salir adelante ante el reto y cual serian las consecuencias con cada posible respuesta o acción. Me acerco a un mentor, establezco un plan de acción con pasos y tiempos y ... empiezo. Lo importante es el primer paso.

Self-doubt can happen due to various reasons. One such reason might be that you have been assigned a new project or a new responsibility. The best way to go about it is to give it time and seek support from your colleagues and/or your mentor. Start by tackling the task that scares you the most first. Remember that you will overcome self-doubt only by diving into it head first and by accepting that failure is an option. See if you know someone within your organization who has performed similar responsibilities in the past. Seek guidance and learn from their experience. Above all, spend more time doing, than thinking. Planning is good but when you are feeling anxious, learning from your actions and your failures is the best way forward.

Self Doubt or lack of confidence is natural. My way of getting around it is: 1. By expanding my knowledge 2. Propping myself up by telling myself I got this 3. Looking at examples of how others in my situation thrived

Everyone doubts themselves at some point so you're not alone. Get some perspective - talk to a trusted colleague or mentor. Choose someone objective. If your doubts are internal see this as a journey. This will take time. Be patient with yourself. Learn to identify the exact moments when you start listening to doubting thoughts. Meditation helps to step aside from the thought and objectively analyze it. Ask yourself, is it true? Perfection is relative and arbitrary. Know your firm's product standards and focus on meeting/exceeding them. If the source is external you may be in an unhealthy work culture. If your boss is a perfectionist work on setting boundaries with them and recognize their perfectionism is not something you can solve.

Take focus off yourself. Go help someone or serve in some capacity at a nonprofit, etc. Comparison kills, so stop comparing yourself with others. Take a test on your personal skills and start practicing them and/or get a job that “fits” who you were created to be. Get to know Jesus Christ who is the One who knows and loves you most.

My take is different! Rather than challenging the evidence that supports your self-doubt, BUILD THE EVIDENCE THAT SUPPORTS YOUR CONFIDENCE! And make so many proofs that the self-doubt evidences seems little in front of your SELF-CONFIDENCE evidences!

Hello dear reader, logic and evidence can help the mind focus on how it should feel. It won't fix the emotions inside you that are turbulent though. Let's say you manage to hunt down every piece of evidence that proves you know your stuff, but you still feel like a pretender or that you're a fraud. This can cause inner conflict, and make things even more difficult. I challenge you to look for your truth, logic, and facts will never be heard by the emotional mind. Instead, recognizing the way you're feeling is a form of cognitive dissonance that stems from self-beliefs that run counter to your current situation. You cannot unmake self-belief systems, but you can add new ones that replace the ones that no longer serve you. Try this.

Na minha opinião é essencial para superar a dúvida e fortalecer a autoconfiança, costumo questionar as suposições distorcidas que alimentam minhas dúvidas sobre. No momento em que desafio essas suposições baseados em fatos e dados concretos, como listando conquistas passadas, habilidades e meus pontos fortes, e ainda coletando feedback positivo de outras pessoas, é possível construir uma autoimagem mais precisa e positiva. Ao confrontar os pensamentos negativos com evidências concretas que os refutem, podemos gradualmente substituir essas crenças limitantes por uma visão mais realista e encorajadora de nós mesmos.

Lograr un entendimiento de la situación “real” a partir de un estado de presencia que te permita acudir a tu verdadera identidad y potencial para afrontar cualquier situación de reto sin temor alguno.

Yes this question arises mostly after the appraisal discussions(Pun Intended). But the best way to overcome self-doubt is to relax and find the root of this self doubt. Do not justify or fight with the thought, give in and think if it's worth the worry - if Not, then Ignore and move on to the next task in hand with an objective to prove everyone your point. if the answer is Yes, just register it in mind and try not to fall for the same mistake. Set smaller goals, record the achievements in a diary and then again set larger goals eventually and keep a track. The path should have both Success and failure. Yes the failures should be held high along with the medal of honours to keep oneself Humble and focussed.

Visualisation is a critical tool in the suite of responses in terms of over coming self doubt. World class athletes meticulously prepare for high stakes high performance events, both physically and psychologically. Why this isn’t done more in the corporate world is beyond me!

Every scenario or situation can either push one towards negativity or towards positivity. What's the mindset that one carries can make a lot of difference. It's easier said than done unless one is able to reflect it by themselves. In every step...one has to be open to see the right side of things that has the potential to uplift. I must say that there always are such opportunities.

"It isn’t what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about." – Dale Carnegie Often, we focus on what we have, who we are, or who we think we should be, that we forget about being happy. Instead we let the self-doubt creep in and question everything we do, everything we are, and everything we have accomplished. Don't let self-doubt destroy your happiness. Instead, make it a habit to think about all the good you've done and everything you've accomplished so far. And the key to creating this or any habit is to make yourself do it every single day until it becomes a habit.

Para aumentar sua autoconfiança é essencial estar em ambientes construtivos que estimulem sua criatividade e o incentivem a alcançar seu máximo como profissional. Meu conselho é simples: saia da zona de conforto e mude sua perspectiva através de desafios positivos. Foque em seus pontos fortes, conquistas passadas e potencial de crescimento, ao invés de se concentrar em suas supostas fraquezas. Chega de procrastinar e seja a mudança hoje mesmo! Desafie-se a expandir seus limites e acredite: você vai alcançar o seu potencial máximo. A jornada para uma autoconfiança sólida começa com a coragem de se reinventar. Não espere mais, dê o primeiro passo agora.

My days of doubt seem to come when I am too isolated from others. I am not going to ask for encouragement or inspiration, but staying connected is encouraging and energizing for me. We should not give to get because that is more selfish than selfless, but encouraging others is uplifting in itself and mutually beneficial.

What I have found helpful when I identify a challenge I seek to find the right amount of support to move me through the challenge. This support can come from a trusted friend, a mentor or it could be someone you respect in your workplace. I use a trusted "Cheer Squad" that has changed everything about seeking support. Pursuing support this way gains different perspectives often gives you greater clarity and provides a way forward. If you are not good at seeking support, keep practicing asking for help, the more practice you have the more confidence you will gain. Gaining confidence is a repetition game.

Encouragement can really create the environment we need to safely reflect within ourselves whats really going on. This can only take place when you’re around people who truly wish you well, success and happiness in whatever you are doing.

En sophrologie, nous apprenons à cultiver une présence attentive et à nous connecter à nos ressources intérieures de confiance et de résilience. Les neurosciences soutiennent l'importance du soutien social dans la régulation émotionnelle et le renforcement de la confiance en soi. En demandant du soutien à d'autres personnes, nous activons des circuits neuronaux de connexion et de réconfort, renforçant ainsi notre estime de soi et notre motivation. Les mentors, les coaches, les sophrologues et les communautés partageant les mêmes idées sont autant de ressources précieuses pour nous guider, nous encourager et nous inspirer sur le chemin de la confiance en soi et du dépassement du doute.

Paste This on your bathroom mirror! The day you will be able to find the answers to your own questions by yourself, you will be free! You can cry for help but before asking others for support, ASK YOURSELF! DID I GIVE MY ALL TO IT? Be ruthlessly honest with yourself! Remember, you are the easiest person to fool yourself! So being brutally honest with yourself, always ask yourself and often the response will be NO, so stop begging others and start grinding.

The best way to overcome self Doubt and get confidence is start taking actions. Be in new venture, new projects, layoffs or any other reasons, there is no point seeking sympathy from anyone. Take your own actions, seek beyond the normal, set higher benchmarks and find your strengths instead of weakness. Take actions, however small, once we start taking actions and start enjoying the journey, outcomes does not matter. In the process, you will gain your confidence back. Always remember, Never underestimate yourself and over estimate others. Sometimes it is good to have self doubt as this will lead to new frontiers to achieve.

The journey from self-doubt to self-confidence can be daunting and confusing, it starts with self-awareness. Understand your strengths and weaknesses, and what confidence means to you. Self-acceptance is vital; embrace where you are on your journey, flaws and all—you can't fix what you don't understand. Expect challenges and doubts as you go, but focus on your growth. A mentor can offer valuable guidance along the way. Celebrate your wins and learn from your mistakes. Embrace uncertainty as an opportunity to grow. Though the journey isn't easy, by nurturing self-awareness, self-acceptance, and continuous self-improvement, you'll move past self-doubt and into confidence. Believe in yourself, you're capable of achieving more than you imagine!

A great phrase I heard the other day went something like this "First the fool, then the Master". It sometimes feels that the action you're thinking about taking will make you look foolish. The truth is every Master has been a fool to start off with. So what if you get it wrong. Just try again and again and again. I know I have and I'm still fearful of looking like a fool. :) When you do get it right your self confidence will rise like an eagle. And all those wrongs just give you great stories to tell.

Ante la duda: acción. No esperes a tener todos los datos, todos los análisis, todas las alternativas, simplemente actúa con lo que tengas y en la medida de lo que tienes. Esto es, no tomes decisiones trascendentes sin datos suficientes o confiando solo en tu intuición, aunque es posible que sí que puedas tomar una decisión parcial que te abra la ventana a aspectos que quizás desconocías y te ayuden en la siguiente decisión. La mayor partes de las veces ante una duda suele ser muy bueno realizar una pequeña acción.

Es muy difícil contar con la información completa que me garantice el éxito sin embargo si tengo claridad de lo que quiero y tengo que hacer mis posibilidades de éxito se incrementarán. Todo trabajo arduo honesto e inteligente trae consigo una recompensa.

You should express gratitude to the Almighty that so far you have accomplished so many things which were considered difficult. Cultivating the feeling of self-love will reinforce your sagging confidence with the conviction that you have the right skills to successfully deal with the task at hand. Self-love and gratefulness go hand in hand when you have the quality of humility and this combination will create the right psychic condition enabling you to override any challenge in life.

Para incorporar a prática da gratidão em sua vida diária, você pode começar mantendo um diário de gratidão, onde registra três coisas pelas quais é grato todos os dias. Também pode expressar verbalmente sua gratidão aos outros, seja por meio de palavras de apreço, gestos de bondade ou simplesmente ouvindo e apoiando aqueles que estão ao seu redor.

La sophrologie et les neurosciences soulignent l'importance de la gratitude pour surmonter le doute de soi. En sophrologie, nous utilisons des techniques de pleine conscience pour cultiver la gratitude, en nous concentrant sur le moment présent et en appréciant ce que nous avons déjà. Les neurosciences montrent que la pratique régulière de la gratitude renforce les connexions neuronales associées à la positivité et à la satisfaction, réduisant ainsi l'impact du doute de soi. En exprimant chaque jour notre reconnaissance pour ce que nous avons et ce que nous avons accompli, nous renforçons notre estime de soi, notre bonheur et notre capacité à faire face aux défis avec résilience.

The act of being grateful for small achievements is an act that increases your humility in understanding that small things matter. No matter how small the changes are, moving forward is already progress, and even stepping back may be to gather momentum. Learn, reflect, and evolve! Be grateful for the little that you will learn to use the much.

I agree that lifting someone else's confidence when yours is down gives you a lift. When I am having a day of doubt, I look for others who might need a little encouragement, and that service to others energizes me. I know I am blessed, so working at being a blessing to others keeps me going.

Count my blessings!!! Gratitude is a powerful and positive emotion that can benefit your mental, emotional, and even physical well-being

Start working out. Physical confidence is underrated in building up overall confidence. Gym, running, sports- anything done regularly

I find it helpful to remind myself of Proverbs 3:5-6 ... "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths."

You can also make a list of your accomplishments over a certain period and also write down what you did well and why it is relevant to you. Looking at this list regularly can help you to reframe your thoughts. Accomplishments can be small and large - important that you used some of your strengths and that the result had meaning to you and or to others.

Self doubt can only be replaced by self belief. Self belief comes from first acknowledging the fact that you aren't working at the level you ought to, or achieving the commensurate results/rewards for your efforts prior invested. Self belief is harnessed from constant self development mechanisms, from books, research, webinars & continued professional development in your field. Indeed "knowledge actually puffs". When you know the issues, you would rarely second-guess yourself. Secondly, look up mentors who have passed the stage you're in and mimic them, from their speeches, actions and modus operandi. Try them out. When the key unlocks a door you never thought would be unlocked, your self confidence & belief will be remarkably boosted
