With that said, here are 3 Places self-doubt comes from so you can avoid it and keep feeling like the incredible woman you are! 👊

1. Comparison

We've all been there before. We see someone who seems to have it all together and we can't help but compare ourselves to them. Before long, self-doubt starts to creep in and we start questioning our own worthiness. Comparison is a dangerous game that can quickly lead to self-doubt and a feeling of inadequacy. However, it is possible to turn the tables on comparison and use it as a tool for motivation. Next time you find yourself comparing yourself to others, take a step back and remind yourself of your own unique talents and gifts. Use the comparison as fuel to take action on your goals and pursue your dreams with confidence. Remember, you are the only one who can define your success. So go out there and make it happen!

2. Fear of the unknown or fear of failure

Self-doubt is a powerful emotion that can stem from the fear of the unknown and the fear of failure which prevents us from taking action and achieving our goals. This can result in us feeling stuck and uncertain of ourselves. However, self-doubt does not have to hold us back. There are steps we can take to overcome it. For example, we can get more information about what we are afraid of, and we can make the unknown familiar. We can also talk to others who have successfully navigated similar situations. Additionally, we can remind ourselves that failure is a part of life and an essential part of learning and growth. By taking these steps, we can begin to move forward with confidence, despite self-doubt.

3. Low Self-Confidence

One of the most common hindrances to taking action on your goals is self-doubt. When you lack self-confidence, it's easy to second-guess yourself and your abilities. This self-doubt can quickly spiral into paralyzing fear of taking action. However, there are some steps you can take to break out of this negative cycle and start achieving your goals. First, it's important to recognize that self-doubt is often based on irrational thoughts. Once you identify these thoughts, you can start to challenge and reframe them. Second, make a commitment to taking action despite your self-doubt. This might mean starting with small steps or baby steps. But each step you take will help to increase your self-confidence and reduce your self-doubt. Finally, don't be afraid to ask for help when needed. There's no shame in seeking guidance from others when you're feeling stuck. By taking these steps, you can begin to move past self-doubt, start taking action on your goals and make your dreams a reality.

It can be tough to push through our own fears and doubts in order to achieve success. But by understanding what holds us back, we can take steps to address those issues and move forward.
