Just before The Ten Commandments' opening credits begin, ... So it shall be written. So it shall be done.
- You must check in With Yourself to Recognize and Weed Out Self Doubt
Self-doubt can creep into your psyche without you even suspecting it’s there until the first niggling thought makes itself clear. You have to be aware of your thoughts and how you’re reacting at all times to weed them out before they grow and take over your creativity and destroy your goals. Doubts can run wild in your mind, making you question your abilities about anything new or different. If you’re prepared, you can recognize the doubts for the lies they are and let your knowledge and common sense get you through. When you check in to reality you’ll realize that the negative thoughts are occurring for various reasons. For example, you could be lost in comparing yourself with others. It may make you feel inadequate and doubt your ability to succeed. Make a firm decision and stick to it. Here is a biblical example of doubt -
3 Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made.
He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?” 2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the
When self-doubt about what you’re trying to accomplish creeps into your thoughts, make a decision to either carry through with your goal or trash it and go on with something else you’re more certain of. If you do decide to go on to something else, don’t think of it as a failure. It was a learning experience that taught you a lesson and you aren’t wasting any more time on it. If you decide to go through with the plan, take action immediately. As we can see in the biblical example mentioned above, there was a lesson learned from doubt and then the final decision to eat the unforbidden fruit. Yet, the decision was made. Fortunately, the decision did not separate man from God permanently.
Making a fast decision may seem impulsive, but most likely the decision is based on intuition and the knowledge that you’ve prepared enough for the journey ahead. You can always fine tune your plan as you progress. At least you’re taking action toward your goals. Replace negative self-doubt with positive thoughts. Choose any method that works for you. Praying, meditation, journaling, affirmations, listening to music or reading a good book or simply chatting with positive-minded friends may give you the boost you need to move on. All of us find ourselves dealing with self-doubt at some point in our lives. If you let it get the best of you by feeding into it and actually believing the lies you’re telling yourself, it can destroy even the best of intentions for success.
