1. We need to change the way we think about our goals
Going to the gym vs going to the beach.
Dont overwhelm yourself with the details.
Create a positive emotional response to your goal rather than overthinking it...5 second rule!
2. Fear of being judged
The truth is that other people are more interested in themselves and what's going on with them to notice and judge you. More so than you think but not enough to stop you from trying
3. Try Meditation
Its clears your mind and enters your emotions
4. Journalling
Let the buzz of thoughts in your head out onto a piece of paper.
It will help debunk fears and anxiety.
Is this fear worth keeping you from trying something new?
Fears lose their power when we evaluate them
There is something to be said for putting things down on paper or saying them out aloud
5. Communicate
If journalling doesn't appeal to you, talk to someone you trust about it.
Insights are invaluable
6. Embrace your self doubt
Adopt a learning mindset.
Try new things and know that failure is a possibility.
Ask yourself - "what's the worst that can happen?"
7. Take action anyway
8. Repeat
Self doubt is a habit, but so is confidence.
Don't sabotage yourself with the wrong habit
