What Is The Opposite Of Self-Doubt? How To Silence That Inner Voice.

1/3

I've got a lot of self-doubts. Now that I started my online business it get's clearer and clearer to me that I have tonsof these self-limiting beliefs about myself. And it's hard to deal with them.

“Don’t let others tell you what you can’t do. Don't let the limitations of others limit your vision. If you can remove your self-doubt and believe in yourself, you can achievewhat you never thought possible.” - Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart -

What Is The Opposite Of Self-Doubt?

You might say "confidence" or "self-confidence". I believe it is not. Letme explain. Somebody who is confident has a great feeling of trust inhis abilities, qualities, and judgment. He knows exactly what he's goodin, he has a very clear picture of what he is and what not.

So for me, the opposite of self-doubt is clarity.

How To Silence That Inner Voice

I hate when my inner voice is telling me that I'm not good enough to dosomething. A few weeks ago, it was trying to convince me that I can'twrite a single blog post and surely I would not be able to write one article a day for the next thirty days. First, I wasalmost going to believe it and give up before even starting especially because I thought that I will not have enoughtime for blogging daily.

But as the days went by without starting, I was also getting into planning my days and I came to the realization that Ihave enough time. It really became clear to me that this voice was lying to me and it was not advisable to listen to itfor any longer.

Read on.

And then I started writing my first article. Don't you think that this voice was silenced! It was louder than before, nowtelling me that my English is not good enough (my mother tongue is swiss german) and that nobody is actually goingto read my posts - and if, that they will laugh about it and never return to my blog again.

As I'm writing this, it becomes obvious to me that I was not clear at all on what I could achieve and on what I'm ableto do. Especially my inner voice is not a good place to take any advice of! I think as soon somebody is going tochange anything in his life, this voice will oppose to everything because it likes the things to stay how they are and

change is one of his worst enemies.

For me it's now clear what I want and that it's not anoption at all to stay on the spot. My dream is to be able tofollow my passions and then help one person at a time todo the same.

I know the way there is not going to be easy. This voicewill try to convince me that these self-doubts are real andnot only thoughts of mine. But as I get clearer and moreexperienced in just going forward one step at the time,I'm sure that this voice will become bored of talking toomuch and will eventually be silenced.

What is your inner voice trying to convince you of? Mineis just telling me not to publish this article because it'snot good enough. But I will publish anyway. And now -please leave me a comment below!

Wishing you inner peace, happiness and success at the highest level
