Cut out these 10 subtle habits if you hate feeling self-doubt:
Over many years, I learned to befriend doubt.
Wait, what? Why?
When I start entertaining thoughts about how I may not be good enough or others are better than me, I know I need to adjust.
Here’s what I stopped doing:
Slouchy posture.
Our physiology (our bodies) contributes more to our thinking than we believe.
If we go around like we were just told our pet goldfish died and slouch around all day, our thinking begins to slip.
We begin to view ourselves as lamoes.
We can break the cycle by adjusting our posture, no matter how bad we feel.
Failing to address the ‘superficial.’
Seemingly mundane and ‘vain’ things like cutting your dirty toenails or ironing your creased shirt aren’t a frivolous luxury.
They’re primary.
The superficial comes first. How you look strongly influences not only how you feel but also how you think about yourself.
Doubt will constantly bark at the doorstep of someone who dresses like a neckbeard on holiday.
