Self Doubt is Crucial

You may have heard somewhere, self doubt is not good for your growth, it sabotages you, it hamper your growth, it is a road block to one’s success.

Yes, most of the people are true in what they have said about self doubt these many years, even some of my own blog posts. Says it is true.

Yet, it really depends on how far you take that notion into consideration and how long you push your overthinking trap and stay in the loop of self doubt.

It is a tendency of our brains to avoid things which are uncertain, fearful, provides no social proof, because our brains prioritise survival over growth. Our ancestors used this fears of self doubt to protect themselves from the animals.

This is an evolutionary trait which is still in the human psyche, which we can not easily get rid of, yet we can leverage it to some levels and help us in guiding towards greater growth and wisdom.

The perspective you choose will help you leverage the self doubt that is within the human brains. Here are some conclusions you can make to get most out of your self doubt to grow as a better person.

• Self doubt can make you aware regarding your preparations for something.
• Self doubt can help you know that you have not done enough work in whichever area of life you are doubting yourself.
• Self doubt can be a good indicator that you have not taken action on something in the past.
• If you doubt more often than a normal person, then it is a indicator of low self esteem and low self confidence.
• Self doubt is also experienced by people pleaser’s
• If repetitive self doubt is there, you may be stuck in your life not growing by experiences but only by age.

These all points can help you know more about yourself, which can eventually help you grow.
