5 Tips for Believing in Yourself

In my practice, I commonly work with people struggling with low self esteem and self doubt. Review my tips below for finding tangible ways to believe in yourself. (Please note, this is an excerpt from my interview with Authority magazine. A link to the full article is at the bottom).

1 . Know your strengths. We are all good at something, and it feels good to have victories! To boost up your confidence, participate in activities or projects where the odds of success are fairly high. Overtime you will feel ready to take on increasingly challenging projects.

2 . Take chances and try new things. The more that you put yourself outside of your comfort zone, the more opportunity you have for success. Success often creates a domino effect for building self esteem. After one good thing happens, you are more likely to believe that another good thing is just around the corner.

3 . Prioritize your health. Feeling mentally and physically well will help you in facing life’s obstacles.

4 . Keep a list of accomplishments. When we are plagued with self doubt, we may tend to overlook or minimize our accomplishments. Document your accomplishments daily, no matter how small. Whenever you are experiencing self doubt, look at your journal for inspiration.

5 . Know when to ask for help. We all struggle sometimes, that’s part of the human experience. Lean on family and friends for support when you are feeling discouraged. If you are truly feeling stuck, you may consider reaching out to a mental health professional.
