5 Action Steps when Feeling Scared of not Doing Enough while Working from Home

Are you feeling scared and stressed thinking that you are not doing good enough in your job right now? I understand that feeling as many years ago I had exactly this anxiety.

Every time I heard my then boss talking with someone else in his office, and then he closed the door, I assumed they were discussing me.

Anxieties are nameless trickles of fear in the mind, that eventually become rivers of doubt and fear if they are not dealt with.

And to be honest, this is very common right now amongst people working from home.

Here’s the good news.

You can deal with this quickly and easily. And it comes down to one thing. 

Taking action.

Nothing gets rid of anxiety faster than taking action.

Here are 5 action tips to take right now to overcome the feeling that you're not doing well enough

Step 1: Start by naming specifically the things that you are afraid of. What are you anxious about?

- not meeting deadlines?

- having too much on your plate?

- no good communication with your boss?

Step 2: Know your strengths and weaknesses. Review your work and evaluate yourself - but from a positive perspective.

Step 3: Affirmation. Make up a little affirmation that you repeat 20-30 times a day.

Step 4: Identify a maximum of 3 things to work on to improve or get finished. And only 3. Make sure they are important and don’t do anything else until you have done them.

Step 5: Be honest and do not forget to provide updates to your boss. Follow up with your boss at the end of each week with

- your list of accomplishments, and

- what’s on for next week.

So there are no surprises.

I hope this has helped you in some way and it would really help if you practice them daily.
