How can you identify and overcome your self-doubt to boost confidence?

Set up a confidence anchor in the brain (NLP is a good technique as is Hypnosis to do this). Remember all the times you were feeling confident and remind yourself of those times before your talk. This will keep you in the energy of confidence versus doubts. Be clear on what message you are trying to convey and WHY you are doing it, why you are the expert to talk about this. That will build up confidence. Being an energy healer, if you are ready for an unconventional approach, get your energy cleansed of self-doubts. In the world of energy, like energy attracts like energies. Life is so much simpler as you shift your energy. You don't have to try so hard with words. Have FUN, add humor and you will find it easy to communicate.

To identify and overcome self-doubt, start by acknowledging and writing down your fears and insecurities... Challenge these negative thoughts with evidence of your past successes and strengths. Set realistic goals and celebrate small achievements to build momentum. Surround yourself with supportive people who encourage you. Practice self-compassion and positive self-talk, reminding yourself that growth comes from facing challenges, thereby gradually boosting your confidence.

Awareness is always the first step toward creating change. Noticing when you hesitate, when you feel fear or discomfort is the doorway to a greater understanding of yourself. Accepting that it's perfectly natural to have these feelings is equally as important.

Give yourself a gift by making time to get quiet and understand what the feelings of self-doubt are specifically connected to and where they come from. Replay past experiences and the feelings should return viscerally in the body. That's when you know you're in the right place. Once you identify the roots, it begins to make sense in your conscious mind and you can start the process of overcoming it.

The words we speak represent the world we create inside our minds - the world we experience and live in. Recognising the internal dialogue and how it perceives our experiences is fundamental. Learning to tweak that language is the next step. Reframe negative language with more positive and empowering alternatives consistently and you'll begin to notice how your emotions and behaviour shift.

Goals can be used as an external motivator and hence stimulate confidence as each milestone is achieved. Celebrating and acknowledging each little win supports this practice. Caveat: One must also be cautious about becoming demotivated when not achieving outcomes.

Continuous constructive feedback can support overcoming self-doubt and boosting confidence. Receiving an external objective perspective can help identify (unseen) wins and areas for improvement.
