Self-Doubt

SELF-DOUBT. 😝

I am guessing you struggle with self-doubt at times. To do so seems to be a part of being human- for most of us, anyway!

It is true that responsible action requires a certain amount of caution. There are times when we need to examine our motives and behaviors to determine if they are truly serving us. That kind of self-doubt can be helpful.

It is at this point, however, when we are being honest with ourselves about our motives and behaviors, that we need to let go of self-doubt and trust ourselves!

That way we can go forward with confidence in our ability to make healthy choices. That’s some powerful momentum right there. 

We should also be aware that excessive self-doubt (beyond the brand mentioned above) can actually feed unhealthy behaviors.

Just think for a moment of all the superficial things humans do to make up for a lack of self-confidence and genuine empowerment.

People use relationships, substances, beauty treatments, and escapism of all kinds to try to puff themselves up. You don’t have to look far to see it.

None of these quick fixes last, leading to more harm and suffering in the long run.

Since we know these things don’t work and what we really want is to be truly in our power, the only logical thing to do is to work on that.

So, how do we do that?

Finding that groove is what the journey of freedom is all about!

I would love to see you step into your empowered, magnificent self this year.
