Your Self-Doubt specialty is… Hiding!
Image Source
HIDING is your go-to behavior when you are doubting yourself. Hiding is triggered by fear. This fear makes you shrink. You may avoid people, avoid their calls. You choose to be silent when you have something to say. You are a chicken about money, AKA "I can't ask for a raise." You procrastinate because if you do something someone may notice you. So how does a chronic avoider take back control of their life?1. Avoiding people or phone calls? Raise your voice.2. Being silent? Have the conversation. Your ideas, perspective, opinions matter. 3. Afraid to ask for a raise? Ask for what you want. If you don't ask, the answer is 100% NO! If you ask, there's a 50% chance you get what you deserve. 4. Procrastinating? Use a starting ritual and commit to working for 5 minutes. You'll gain momentum and you will work longer and make progress.Now go do the darn thing!

Your Self-Doubt specialty is… being Hypercritical!
Image Source
Being HYPERCRITICAL is your go-to behavior when you are doubting yourself. Being hypercritical is triggered by past failures. You argue against yourself and the things you know you want to and should be doing. It's very natural for you to focus on the reasons why you can't do something. You fixate on what could go wrong. And your stress has an edge that makes it difficult for others to call you out on this behavior of being hypercritical. Don’t feel bad, every single human on the planet struggles with this at some point.Luckily, there are some ways to retrain yourself from beating yourself up to making forward movement. 1. If you find yourself overthinking your past failures - Identify and focus on what you learned from that experience. 2. If you're focusing on reasons why you can't - Make a plan for how you CAN. Break it down into teeny-tiny steps. 3. Are you fixating on what could go wrong? Take action on those teeny-tiny steps and track your progress.Commit to your tasks, create accountability by sharing your schedule with others and encourage them to check in on your progress, and set up a reward system for when you’ve completed something in a timely fashion.Now go do the darn thing! You got this!“A day can slip by when you’re deliberately avoiding what you’re supposed to do.” — Bill WattersonHey There!
