Am I Good Enough ?

At some point in our lives, many of us have asked ourselves that question.

Many try to deal with it on a regular basis. If you find yourself plagued by self-limiting beliefs & self-doubt, you are not alone.

A study by the European Institute for Leadership & Management found that 50% of female managers & 31% of male managers admitted to experiencing self-doubt.

The Bones of It:

We all experience some form of self-doubt & fear, it's a natural human behaviour. Every single decision or challenge I have faced in my life always has an ingrediant of self- doubt & fear. Am I good enough? Will I suceed?.............

When we're worried that our abilities are going to be questioned or brought into play, we lack the confidence to turn our thoughts into actions. We undermine our capabilities, strengths, dreams & aspirations. In my own case, I acknowledge the doubts & fears. I expect them to surface & try to derail my plans & goals. I challenge the chatter in my head, I plan & prepare to the best of my ability. I seek advice & support & really push through my limiting-beliefs.

MINDSET TAKE-AWAYS:

Most of the time we are much closer to a breakthrough than we realize. Areas of doubt are common in your performance, relationships or daily life. Self-doubt is natural & something we can acknowledge & accept. Challenge the validity of these beliefs, seek evidence that disproves them. Plan & prepare thoroughly. Celebrate small steps & accomplishments, persist through setbacks & embrace resilience. Believe in yourself & your potential for success. Pushing through self-doubt requires taking action despite the fear & discomfort. Unlock the potential to achieve remarkable feats & accomplish your goals.

Embrace the journey, trust in your abilities & let your true potnetial come to the surface.

"The ability to experience negative emotions without falling through the floorboards of doubt is a defining trait of leadership." Nancy Koehn HBS
