Day 10 We're a third of the way through this 30 day challenge, and we started out week by learning about the first phase of the project life cycle, the project initiation phase. My post today is not about that. This morning, our CM sent us a link to a video by Vusi Thembekwayo, where he talks about Dealing with Self-Doubt. Before I watched that video, I had been dealing with self-doubt and telling myself that I did not have what it takes to be all the things that I want to be. I had lain sleepless at night, convinced that I would let my patients down, that something about me is lacking and that is why I haven't gotten any tangible internship offers from hospitals, and generally just feeling like a foreign thing. In the video, Vusi tells a story about a time that he dealt with self-doubt and what someone told him. He said that the trick to overcoming self-doubt is to focus on the things you can do and not the people that you're competing with. He also said that everybody is starting at zero, and to make sure that you are the most prepared. This lifted my spirits and spurred me to think about and focus on the things I can do. I have renewed energy and vigour to take on the tasks that I have and the renewed confidence to take up space in the world. #thepmtribe #thepmtribe30daychallenge
