Are these familiar dialogues for you: I dont have the nerve to try that! or thats too risky! or Im not sure I can do that etc? Are you one of those people who always doubt your own ability? Well, youre not alone. A lot of people do not have confidence in themselves.

Every change in the normal way of life gets tons of introspection and most of the time, self-doubt wins and not trying seems safer. However, safe does not always mean best; sooner or later youll get depressed being always stuck on a rut. You have to reduce these self-doubts then to move ahead.

It will help if you can figure out why you feel wimpy all the time. Is it because of a past mistake that crippled you so much? Are you afraid to end up like someone you knew who took too much risk? Were you told often by authority figures parents, sibling, teachers or officers that you dont and cant amount to anything? Youve probably heard it so often that you believed it as the universal truth all the time.

Deep down you know its not true, right? Not all risks will result into failure and you can avoid making the same mistake your friend did. Silence the inner critic in you then. You dont have to listen to past criticisms. Nor should you judge all your other abilities based on a single failure. Instead draw on your strengths and keep them in mind. Granted, its not going to be easy. But you can take baby steps and not leap into anything that youre not ready for.

Start by cataloguing your positives. Take out a sheet of paper and list down the things that you know you can do. Fill it up from the whimsical able to juggle four balls in the air, for example to the downright great ones like a good grasp of grammar. Look back and try to remember how you knew those skills. Some of them probably were inherited or something that you learned instinctively. But the rest were skills that you got only thru experience.

Therefore, you must have tried it before and found out that you can do it. That list becomes a physical proof that you are someone who can do something and by the same token, can do a lot more if you can just get out of your safety zone and try something new again.

Banish those doubts and see how high you can fly.
