Can self-doubt be an ally?

Yes? No? It's certainly an interesting concept and here's the thing - Self-doubt is literally the opposite of everything you want for yourself.
Here are some examples:
❌ You don't think you're loveable.
❌ You don't feel you have the confidence to start your own business
❌ You don't believe you're good enough to go for that promotion
❌ You feel a failure as a parent
❌ You think you're too old to do anything now
The list could go on.
But what if we did a 180 and flipped all those self-doubts we tell ourselves on a daily basis?
What if you were loveable, what if you were just as capable of getting that promotion as the next person, what if you really could start your own business, what if there was no such thing as being too old, what if you were the best parent a kid could ask for?
How much potential do you have now?
What can self-doubt lead to?
One of the biggest mistakes that people make is believing their negative thoughts.
We tend to think that because we have thought it, is it now accepted.
And do you know what is just as bad as the negative self-talk? When someone else puts you down. And you know why? Because again, if someone has said it then it must be true.
Would it interest you to know that the majority of people who decide they have a right to comment on your behaviour, are also walking around doubting themselves? So, if you have one person full of self-doubt, trying to tell another person why they should doubt themselves, well, neither are on to a winner are they?
Self-doubt only does one thing. It stops you from being everything you could possibly be. That's why people get into debt, abusive relationships, miss out on opportunities and believe they are destined to not live the life they would really like to.
So, how do you stop it?
Every time a negative thought pops in your head, hit it back Rafael Nada style with something that is positive. You don't even have to believe it at first. Just keep doing it, without fail.
Just remember - Your negative thoughts are tennis balls and you are going to slam them over the net and past your opponent every single time and immediately replace them with the positive thoughts that you want to come true.
You've got this.
