Doubt is More Than a Productivity Killer

Doubt is a great way to sabotage your day, but it’s also a great way to sabotage your career and your life.

Doubt can get in your way every single day. Doubt can creep into your thoughts. It can prevent you from making important decisions in a timely manner, and even prevent you from taking swift action. It can torture you inside your own mind.

Don’t let doubt get to you. Trust yourself and the process. Trust that you have the experience, the knowledge, and decision making skills to overcome the doubt that is plaguing you. Whenever you are in a time of doubt, remember that you have made it this far. You already have overcome the challenges that life has thrown at you; this time is just a little different. 

This isn’t something that you can just magically make disappear. Doubt is something you have to learn how to manage throughout your whole life. The good thing is, the more you practice overcoming doubt, the easier it is because you are getting better at it. 

Doubt may hurt your productivity, and ultimately affect various parts of your life, but you have the tools to manage doubtful thoughts and minimize its impact in your life. You possess the self-confidence to push yourself ahead.
