TIP #8: Pull Weeds of Self-Doubt
It's easy to let them get grow... even thrive. You know the ones. Those voices inside your head that discourage you, berate you, planting seeds of not-sure or not-enoughness that germinate, beginning a garden of self-doubt in your head.
Like any weed, the weed of self-doubt is fast growing. Left alone it can over take a garden of good ideas, motivation, positive thinking and initiative. Your task is to stomp it out. Pull it out. Don't let it grow. Get rid of it as soon as it's ugly head pops through causing you second thoughts about your dreams or aspirations or abilities.
If you can put those thoughts in your head or allow others to put them there for you, you can also pull them out and replace them. Read more of my thoughts on this topic in Taming Voices
