Overcoming Self-doubt and Pushing ForwardHow did I overcome self-doubt & push forward towards my goals? I wanted to share my personal journey on how to pick yourself up when self-belief falters:
1️⃣ Acknowledge the feeling: It's okay to have moments of self-doubt. I've learned that recognizing and accepting these emotions is the first step towards overcoming them.
2️⃣ Reflect on past successes: Reminding myself of the goals I've already achieved and the obstacles I've overcome boosts my confidence. I've done it before, and I can do it again!
3️⃣ Break goals into smaller steps: When overwhelmed, I break my big goals into smaller, manageable tasks. Progress on these smaller milestones fuels motivation and keeps me moving forward.
4️⃣ Seek support & encouragement: I reached out to friends, mentors, and my trading community for support and encouragement back in the day. Surrounding myself with positive influences helps me regain perspective and self-belief.
5️⃣ Embrace the learning curve: Instead of dwelling on setbacks, I view them as valuable learning experiences. Every challenge is an opportunity to grow and refine my approach.
6️⃣ Visualization & positive affirmations: I visualize myself achieving my goals with clarity and conviction. Positive affirmations reinforce my belief in my capabilities and attract success. PS: I also dismissed this voodoo at the beginning. Trust me, don't.
Remember, it's normal to have moments of doubt, but they don't define you. Embrace the journey, draw strength from within, and persist with determination. Trust in yourself and your abilities to reach those goals!
