The thought on Corinne’s post
today struck me somewhere. So many times it happens when we want to do anything particular, try something new, something that we have never done before
and it is out of our comfort zone as well! The thrill does runs into our blood, and in a tad of time, a single sentence pops up and we leave it!
What is that single sentence? And
who uttered it to us? Our mother? Only if she had any idea about it! Our father? Only
if we dared to discuss it with him. Our siblings? Only if we shared that
conversation 24*7. Then who? Our friends? Did they stop us from doing what we
wanted? But why will they stop? They’re the first set of people on earth who make us
criminals in the first place! Then who else is left?
O.. yeah..!! How can I forget to mention
about my, err, our alter-ego! Well
yes.. the inside us.. who knows every minute detail of our lives and keeps us
knocking apart from what we want to do! Yes, it does tells us right things as
well at times. But like I said, at times! It
surely helps us stay grounded, but who wants to go underground?
Self doubt is the worst enemy I
guess. For we try to keep the first brick of self confidence.. and there it
comes from nowhere, smashing away all of it..! And, we adults are not the only
victims of it, children too have a lot of this! But how come these toddlers at
such a tender age pick it from? Well no prize for guesses, it’s obviously us! I
think we really need to think before acting and saying things before them! They
really pick fast!
So what can be done, in order to
cure this malady of self doubt? Saying/writing affirmative sentences could
help.
I looked for a few. Some did
scare me as well, but then if your dreams don’t scare you, may be they’re
not big enough!
I thought of sharing them with
you..
How do you deal with self doubt? What
things do you say or write to yourself? Want to share any trick? Feel free :)

You can't do much when self doubt engulfs you..well, atleast that's what the inner voice would be telling you...That's when you need to fight and look for positive affirmations...Doing what your heart yearns for can't be so easy and hence you and I need to fight these bouts of self doubt to achieve what we want to..
ReplyDeleteSelf-doubt is the worst enemy one could have. But the sooner we realize these thoughts are creeping in, I think we should put a stop to it..
DeleteThanks for sharing your views Naba!

Good things happen to me because I know they will. Well--maybe not good things, but lack of harm.I sail through every experience without being harmed. So the saying is true, in a way.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a positive thing to do with oneself.. I wish everyone of us could learn that art..!

When you are hit with self-doubt, the only thing that you must do is to overcome the fear... the fear that it brings along with it. When you fight the fear everything will fall into place.

Yes.. fear is the only thing that needs to be set right, as you rightly said..

Amazing how some words stick in our head! It's important for us to re-write the script. Glad you're doing that, Geetika.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Corinne :)
DeleteCheers
I close my eyes , takes gods name and GO FOR IT ..
ReplyDeletealthough I view it differently that Self doubt CAN be GOOD also for us, otherwise we will be too rash and too hurried into something which we might not understand much about.
I also beleive that to make dreams come true ONE needs to DREAM tooo :)

I am not sure but my comments dont seem to go on your blog..
ReplyDeleteO they do.. It took a bit long to publish them..
DeleteCheers
Geetika your posts resonates with every single one of us who has aspired to do something worth while... and self-doubt is a very serious death knell to these aspirations...
ReplyDeleteYeah.. that's right Richa.. I guess self-doubt is a part of being human..
DeleteThanks
Cheers
I have over zealous friends and a hyperactive husband ... so self doubt tends to get choo mantra. :) Certain things are beyond our control but it's all always up to us on how we react to it.
ReplyDeleteLove the positivity of your post :)
Lucky you are girl..
DeleteThank you soo much Raj..
Cheers
Self-doubt is the worst kind. Once we learn to overcome it everything else will fall in place. I usually write down my dreams, concerns, etc. And then work from there. Sometimes it will work out, sometimes it won't. I believe it's all past of life. :)
ReplyDeleteI think initially it does creep in.. but eventually if we choose to move ahead, it has to vanish away.. what say?
DeleteCheers
Self doubt - it hurts. But then affirmations from friends and family helps. Do you remember the post I had written? "Why do you come here? " Guess that was my way to stay put and hear from readers. It's hard to fight but we must and should.
ReplyDeleteOf course I remember.. and I too do want to do that post.. But, self-doubt.. I think it's high right now.. that's why the post is still not up yet :P
DeleteCheers
When I face this situation of doubting my own talents, I take some time out and read some comments on my blog posts or my poems. And then, I kinda feel this rush of happiness. If that doesn't work, then I talk to someone about these feelings. And most of the times, people are like the mirrors we need - the mirrors who know what to tell us to make us feel happy!
ReplyDeleteYes.. sheer words of wisdom you said.. We really need somebody to back us and show us the mirror..
DeleteGood to have you :)
Cheers
