3 Steps to Overcome Self-Doubt



There are many pitfalls that await us on our path to success.  One of the most popular of all pitfalls is self-doubt.  From time to time, this debilitating factor prevents us from reaching the success that we are capable of attaining.  Sometimes at the first sign of failure we get bent out of shape and just give up!  As self-doubt creeps in, somehow all your systems are on half-impulse mode or semi-paralyzed.  Your motivation to implement anything is gone, and you start to worry about what others think about you.  As feelings of unworthiness take over, you are definitely setting yourself for failure ... and that's not a good thing!

The only way you are going to overcome self-doubt and win the battle of success is to believe that you CAN DO IT!  Look deeply within yourself, seek your inner self and internalize the thought that you BELIEVE IN YOURSELF and that you CAN ABSOLUTELY DO IT!  Do not cultivate self-doubt and allow feelings of unworthiness to sabotage your chances of success.

If you need to take a rest from your workouts due to sore muscles, take a rest and don't feel like it's a setback.  You'll be a lot stronger for the next training interval.  If you had a horrible exercise week, don't worry about it.  It's not the end of the world.  Reassess your game plan, make adjustments and take action.  Maybe mix up some workouts for variety, change weights or the intensity of your workouts.  Be flexible.

Success does not come overnight.  Consider it a battle in which you need to be on your toes and ready to encounter what’s coming.  YOU ARE an incredible being with this awesome, innate potential to create success.  So in summary ...
  • Believe in Yourself
  • Take Action
  • Position Yourself for Success
Yes, it does look like a very simplistic solution, but simple is good, and we all need a firm foundation where we can stand on and meet the challenge head-on.   Taking those three steps will help you overcome self-doubt and lead you on the path to success!
