Self-doubt comes when you can do something, but you don’t believe that you are good enough to do it. Because really and truly if you cannot do it, then self-doubt doesn’t even come into the equation. In truth you know you can do it! So stand on that fact!

It’s not who you are that holds you back, it’s who you think you’re not.-~Hanoch McCarty

The goal is not to cope with it, but to fight until you overcome and eliminate it! Here are some tips
1. Identify the reason: Why do you feel that you are not good enough to do something you know that you are truly capable of doing? Find that reason and do something about it. Take away that thing, work on that reason and watch doubt fly out the window
2. How is your environment playing a role? Do you have people speaking life into you? maybe you need to surround yourself with good energy. Get into a positive community. Have mentorship or people who believe in you and remind you of what you are capable of
3. Affirming that you can do it. Say it over and over until you walk in it. Affirm that you can do it until you feel the difference in your spirit. Faith it till you make it, practice it till you become it.
4. Reminding yourself about where you come from and who you are. You are the daughter/son of a king, a masterpiece created by a wonderful God. and you are fully equipped to tackle anything and everything. So even when you don’t believe in your ability to do it, you can trust in God’s ability to guide you to success.

Trust and Obey

I pray this is helpful to you. 😘😘😘
You got this, you are enough and you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. Just do it, do it!

With love,

LENORA
