Self-Doubt is just a defensive part of your ego that is afraid you might experience humiliation so tries to keep you safe. You can negotiate with this in order to keep moving forward as you would like #selfcare #confidence #selfdoubt

Self-Doubt says, “I can’t handle this, I doubt my goodness, choices and abilities” while Self-Regulation says, “Whatever happens I’ll figure it out, just keep going, keep turning up”. #anxietyrelief #selfcare #Wellbeing #selflove

The opposite of self-doubt isn’t self-confidence but self-regulation, which enables you to be true to yourself in the face of whatever challenges come your way #anxiety #selfhelp #stressrelief

The initial goal might be, “For others to respect me”. Going deeper, the actual goal becomes, “I need to respect myself” #selfcare #selfhelp #stressrelief

Self-Doubt is like an anxious parent that says, “You need to stay safe, don’t make a fool of yourself!” Self-Regulation is like a loving Grandparent that says, “Whatever happens you’ll deal with it, give it a go, you don’t have to be perfect.” #confidence #anxiety #selfcare

One main way to identify when you are believing a Self-Doubt narrative is that your life energy will be moving backwards. When you’re aware of this you can use your attention to shift it forwards, which often means simply becoming present again #selfhelp #confidence #anxiety

Behind every stressful thought or feeling is a story about something you are doubting about yourself. For example, if your are angry about someone else’s behaviour- you might be doubting that you can handle conflict or feelings of humiliation #selfawareness #Wellbeing #confidence

Self-doubt is designed to keep us safe but it can become a saboteur limiting us from being, doing or saying what we would really like. Getting to know self-regulation is the antidote to this #selfdoubt #confidence #feelingbetter

Sometimes I think I’m ok then suddenly I screw up, overreact or feel sorry for myself. Question is how quickly can I come back to life & let go of the resistance, disappointment, confusion etc? Sometimes seconds, sometimes days #anxiety #BeingHuman #selfconfidence #selfdoubt

After years of struggling with anxiety I’ve found a way to feel freer & make mistakes, not be perfect, fail, deal with stress & take more risks. Life is impersonal - this is the real freedom - believing it’s personal is the real suffering #BeingHuman #anxiety #FEARLESS #freedom

To start making art I had to let go of the need to be good or perfect. I had to convince myself to just play without any intentions or expectations. The goal became joy not approval or success. This was such a relief! #creativity #selfcare #selfdoubt #MentalHealthMatters #art

Freeing up self-doubt isn’t about being free of problems. It’s about feeling free in the face of difficulties & challenges #anxiety #fear #feelfree #selfconfidence #selfdoubt #streefree

Good to know - I realised that behind all my worries, frustrations or negative beliefs is a deeper story - something I’m doubting about myself. It says - I can’t handle or survive whatever is or isn’t happening. #stressrelief #anxiety #selfcare #confidence #feelgood #selfdoubt

Gravity doesn’t just happen outside. But the same laws don’t apply to interior gravity. An example is the magnetic pull of pain and suffering #BeingHuman #anxiety #StressFreeLife #mentalhealth #selfdoubt #selflove

One easy way to transform self-doubt is to check which direction your energy is moving. Forward, backwards, up or down? You can redirect it. Shifting it forward might mean simply coming back to this moment #selfcare #anxiety #stressrelief #beyondfear #wellness #Selfdevelopment

If you are feeling - powerlessness, vulnerable, withdrawal or self-consciousness then this is information about something you are doubting about yourself. See it as just information nothing more #selfcare #mentalhealth #selfdoubt #selfconfidence #anxiety #stressrelief

Today I feel overwhelmed with too many things on my mind. Losing focus and direction. The maps help me see what’s going on and my energy starts to move forward again to just being here, enjoying this moment #overwhelm #stressrelief #confidence #selfcare #wellbeing #Mindfulness

Self-doubt is there to limit us in order to avoid humiliation. Meanwhile self-regulation is our ACTUAL inner guidance system designed to get us safely out into the world. #selfcare #selfconfidence #freedomfromfear #selflove #anxiety #stressrelief #selfdoubt
