Often the biggest challenge I face is self-doubt.
I have so many aspirations, dreams and passions, but I doubt my ability to realize them.
Notebooks overflow with my ideas, but it is Doubt that keeps them cocooned within the pages; Doubt that whispers ‘stick to what you know’; Doubt that says ‘it’s too risky’.
I feel as if I’m teetering on the edge of a precipice, to step back is to give power to my doubts, to step off is to believe in my own power.
The power to change.
Transformation
I’ve been embracing 6 weeks of change on my Mind & Body Transformation Challenge, and that has ignited a spark within me, the spark of self belief.
I can change when I commit with passion and purpose to my vision.
Changing my body has been a great; I’m stronger, leaner and healthier, but changing the way I think has been profoundly liberating. Through personal reflection, research and positive connections I’ve started to change the toxic habits that were barriers to my success.
Knowing and understanding myself has enabled me to tap into something I didn’t know I had; my own innate power! It might sound like a cliché, but you have to own the change you want, or else it doesn’t truly belong to you.
I own the change I have created.
And this week I’m about to make another change; I’m stepping off the precipice!
I have an opportunity that both excites and terrifies me; up till now I have been giving power to my doubts by doubting my power to succeed.
Today I accepted that opportunity and stopped doubting my power.
Do you experience self-doubt? What do you do to chase the doubts away?
