We are 29 days into 2023.

Do you remember your New Years' resolution?

Research says; This is the week which is the hardest. Mind over matter.

An uphill journey and many people start to give up the 4th weekend into the new year.

The biggest mental discipline barrier is self-doubt.

When I first thought about writing my first children's book - I was drowned in self-doubt and questions.

The 2 big questions were from a place of fear - will anyone buy it and what if people hate the story?

The book hit the Amazon Best seller on #1 Book for preschool and Kindergarten and I am so glad I overcame those fear and just dove in. I know I have an author in me!

Overcoming self-doubt and improving confidence can be a challenge for many individuals, I battled it for so long..

It's natural to feel unsure of yourself from time to time, but it's important to recognize that self-doubt can hold you back from reaching your full potential and especially if it is holding you back in the workplace.

Here are some practical tips for overcoming self-doubt in the workplace.

While these focus on the workplace; I think these can be applied to any areas of your life where you want to boost confidence:

• Identify the source of self-doubt:

The first step in overcoming self-doubt is to identify its source. Is it a lack of experience in a particular area? Is it a fear of failure? Understanding what's causing your self-doubt can help you tackle it more effectively.

• Practice self-affirmations and positive self-talk:

Encouraging yourself with positive self-talk and self-affirmations can go a long way in building confidence. Start each day by reminding yourself of your strengths and accomplishments.

• Set achievable goals and celebrate accomplishments:

Set achievable goals for yourself and regularly celebrate your accomplishments, no matter how small they may seem. This will help you build momentum and increase your confidence.

• Surround yourself with supportive people:

Surrounding yourself with people who believe in you and support you can be extremely beneficial in overcoming self-doubt. Seek out mentors or colleagues who can offer guidance and support.

• Seek mentorship or coaching:

Consider seeking mentorship or coaching from someone who has experience in your field and can offer guidance and support.

Focus on your strengths and build on them:

Instead of focusing on your weaknesses, focus on your strengths and work to build on them.

Focus on energy management

Learn to say "no" to things that cause excessive stress:

Taking on too much work can be overwhelming and lead to feelings of self-doubt.

Learning to say "no" to tasks that cause excessive stress can help you maintain a healthy work-life balance and boost your confidence.

Practice self-care to maintain a healthy work-life balance:

Taking care of yourself is important for maintaining a healthy work-life balance and reducing feelings of self-doubt. Make time for hobbies and activities you enjoy, and prioritize rest and relaxation.

Remember failures are opportunities for growth and learning:

Failure is a natural part of the learning process, and it's important to remember that it's not a reflection of your worth. Instead, view failures as opportunities for growth and learning.

In conclusion, overcoming self-doubt and improving confidence in the workplace requires effort and dedication, but it can be done.

By following these practical tips and being proactive in your approach, you can build confidence and achieve success in your career.
