Stephen King said, \u201cWriting fiction, especially a long work of fiction can be a difficult, lonely job; it\u2019s like crossing the Atlantic Ocean in a bathtub. There\u2019s plenty of opportunity for self-doubt.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Most people believe that anxiety, self-doubt, and writers go together like graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d argue that self-doubt goes along with almost every profession.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re an artist, scientist or entrepreneur. We all have those little nagging voices in the back of our minds<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You know, those voices in our head that say, \u201cyou can\u2019t, you\u2019re going to fail, what makes you think you\u2019re so smart\u201d and \u201cno one is going to want your product.\u201d I believe that even the most arrogant people I know have self-doubt. They\u2019ve just found a way to portray themselves as more confident.<\/p>\n

How do you deal with self-doubt?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve tried a lot of things to deal with my doubt. One of the things that helps me the most is to address my negativity:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s the worst that can happen?\u201d<\/em>
\n\u201cWhat are the consequences of failing?\u201d<\/em>
\n\u201cWhy I am struggling with this particular project?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

This lets those voices in our heads rage on. We haven\u2019t thought about the reality of the situation. I have to put boundaries on my self-doubt. This means that I allow myself to ponder the outcome for a few minutes, but then I sit back down to work.<\/p>\n

Stay in a routine<\/strong><\/p>\n

Routine can also help you deal with your doubt. Instead of letting your mind race, take time to practice mindfulness.<\/p>\n

Many of the anxieties we deal with every day never actually come to fruition. It\u2019s all in our head, unless we procrastinate and don\u2019t get the job done.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Instead of thinking about your to-do list and doubting your abilities to get it all done, just start to work.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget to take regular breaks and enjoy life<\/strong><\/p>\n

Give your mind a break from work sometimes. When you\u2019re an entrepreneur or self-employed, you need time away from the pressures of work.<\/p>\n

Reward yourself for tackling a huge project, whether or not you are successful. Remember that we learn just as much, sometimes more, in our failures than we might in our accomplishments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
