Jumping the hurdles of Self Doubt
We’re all very good at creating negative thoughts and patterns. These come in the words that we use these, now are behaviors and he’s come from thoughts. One way to gain yourself doubt is to bombard your subconscious mind with new thoughts and images. You simply must stop the “Pitty Pot” and learn to move forward. Stop letting the negative energy drive you. Rather let positive thoughts and emotions drive you to a new destination.
I know many people with stage four cancer and I know the five year old that is in dire need of a bone marrow transplant. When in the same room with these people one would never know that they suffer from life threatening ailments. Why? They use affirmative statements that stop the pain and suffering and make them live in each day as if it were they last. I am not diminishing your pain and suffering but I am trying to establish a method for you to see things differently.
1. Live in the present. If you have a dream and you want to accomplish something then describe what you desire as though you already have it as if the dream has already been accomplished.
2. The affirmative. State your affirmations and the positive. Your brain does not do well with negative comments. When you talk in the negative it becomes that. When you speak in the negative you’re simply affirm your fears. End your negative thoughts by becoming more positive.
3. Use power words. Words are as important as the affirmations that we use. If we want to change our lives we need to select words that allow was to expand our level and create positive results. Words shape our beliefs, and they create action. Alternatively, they create inaction. I have found over the years that words that are used this and power me and create self doubt.
4. Change your state. Self doubt stems from our state. To illustrate my point imagine for a moment the body language of a homeless person. Picture that homeless person lying on the street, with dirty clothes, situated in a corner of a large building. They are cowering and have a sad sullen look on their dirt speckled face. You can see the sorrow; you can visibly see the pain and the suffering.
Now, imagine yourself when you are depressed and believe your life is in total disarray. Are your shoulders slumped? Is your face sullen and sunken? Does your self doubt create your body language?
Your body language changes with self doubt because your brain runs low on a chemical known as endorphins. These neurotransmitters found in the brain have pain-relieving properties similar to morphine. If you know or are a runner this is typically found to create a “runners high”. If you are depressed or saddened and do something to change your state endorphins are released creating euphoria and alleviating the pain. So for no money, little time and using your own body, your can end your pain in a split second, release the endorphins and quickly release your self doubt.
5. Visualize the Result. Visualize what it would look like if you reached your pleasure without the doubt. See things are you want them to be. Picture yourself in the dress, in the car, with the boyfriend, etc. Create the feeling in your head as if you were all ready living the dream.
6. Belief in the Lord. I have found that this is also one of the best ways to end self doubt. Many years ago I was lost in my journey until a friend of mine gave me a sentiment piece with the inscribed words, “Be Still and Know”. "Be Still and know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10) is one of my favorites. It reminds me to let go and trust God to do God's will.
I have learned in many years that God will not and does not want us to fail. He wants us to believe but he also wants us to learn. While each and every moment is a lesson it is a lesson from God. While I like you have suffered I also understand that God has a purpose and we must fulfill it not on our time- but his. There is a time and purpose for all but this is the greatest mystery that he provides us with.
Self Doubt can manifest and those only way to stop it, is to do something about it. Life is difficult, life has hurdles but one thing about life- we are above the ground and living it. We are able to see love and share, understand your purpose, your passion and your creativity and learn to love yourself right now!
