Overcoming Self-Doubt

Dear wonderful and festive friends,


One of your biggest threats to your success and confidence is to doubt yourself. It can be odd as I am sure that many of you believe in yourself but then you have those days where you think that it is impossible for you to achieve success or your goal. You need to cast off the self-doubt and get more certain, confident and sure of yourself. Affirm to yourself in the face of doubt that you can do it by saying it and thinking I can and I will!!

Maybe you are imagining failure...but you need to cast down those wrong thoughts. The bible talks about casting down imaginations and every high and lofty thing that exalts itself against the true knowledge of God. It also says in the book of proverbs that 'As a person thinks in his heart so is (he or so does he become)' so If you think failure you will fail, if you think success then you are bound to succeed. Begin to visualise your success today! Make it a habit to say 'I am a success', 'I am a winner', 'I am a valuable person' 'God has a great plan for my life' and think positive thoughts about yourself over and over until you believe without any doubt that you can make it happen.

Homework for the week: Buy a scrap book and cut out all the pictures of the things you want i.e. images of success, an image of a woman or a man that looks confident, clothes, a car that you want, your dream holiday...basically whatever images represent your success and when ever you feel that your doubting. Look at the scrap book and get that courage to believe that you can do it.

Above all never give up....rome was not built in a day so don't despair if you don't become a success overnight!! It will happen just keep working hard :-)
