Have you ever felt like you're not good enough? Like others are doing things better? That feeling of self-doubt creeping in when you start comparing yourself to others? We all know it, but the good news is—you can turn it to your advantage.
Self-doubt is about comparing yourself to others instead of focusing on the process—the process of developing yourself, what you create, and who you are. When you get stuck in comparisons, you lose touch with the most important thing: yourself and your journey.
Self-Doubt is Part of the Journey
Think of self-doubt as a companion on your path to success. It’s not your enemy. It’s a reminder that you care, that you want to grow. It helps you pause and reflect on what you're doing—and that’s a good thing. But don’t let it control you.
When you stop comparing and focus on expressing your true self, something amazing happens. You start creating from the heart, and that’s when you truly shine.
Use Self-Doubt to Your Advantage
Next time self-doubt shows up, see it as a chance to reconnect with the process. Ask yourself: What can I learn right now? How can I develop my work, my creativity, or my mindset?
When you shift your focus from what others are doing to what you are doing, you take back your power.
Remember: "The best art is the one that makes you feel something, not just the one that looks good." The same goes for you and what you create. It’s not about being perfect or the best—it’s about being true to yourself.

Stay in the Process
When you’re in the process of developing yourself and your work, you’re already successful. Self-doubt becomes part of your journey, not an obstacle.
So next time you feel unsure, be kind to yourself. Give yourself the space to stay in the process. Your true self is the best gift you can offer the world—and that will always be enough.

5 个月Indeed self-doubt can be crippling Maria... I don't have it all figured out, I still feel self-doubt creeping in every now and then... But I deal with it with one of the ingredients of living in mindfulness: Self-forgiveness. Firstly, This comes with the understanding that as Humans, we're all emotional beings, and whenever we feel a certain way, we need to accept and acknowledge how we feel at the moment. Then I do what I call or David Goggins call a "Live Autopsy" ?? By realizing that our thoughts and actions might not necessarily be ours but a program of past or childhood experience, family or societal expectations, habit or ego which are in contrary to our True Self. We become more kind, understanding and forgiving of ourselves in the process. Then the last phase is figuring out what your True Self wants. Your Values; Your Passion and Your Goals. ??
