One's Own Enemy: Self - Doubt

Do they really like me?

I feel like I ruin things wherever I go

Maybe they are right about me

I really am an unworthy piece of crap

I know you come across such thoughts, I know you criticize yourself up to an extent that you think there's nothing good about you. I know that all these thoughts prevent you from believing in yourself. But, honey, you don't have to think so low of yourself. Nor do you have to believe them more than yourself.

The only way out of this vicious cycle of self-doubt is to stop being your own enemy. I know it's easier said than done but once you get into the habit of following the steps that are listed below, you will see how things turn around for you!

• Start Prioritising Yourself

Making yourself a priority does not just refer to eating good food or buying new clothes, but accepting yourself in every way. Learn to be kind to yourself even when you fail and set boundaries for others in order to align with your higher self.

• Don't run away from your problems

Being in denial may feel like a solution but it is proven to be unhealthy for long term. Doing so is like delaying your work. The more you delay it, the more it piles up and as a result, becomes a burden for you in the future. Therefore, one should have the courage to face their problems in life.

• Talk to a loved one

You may feel a bit uncomfortable doing this at first but being true about your feelings to someone close to you would actually help you let out all the emotions you have built up inside over time and you would feel much lighter, and who knows? It might also provide you with a solution for the problem you face.

• Be thankful for this life

Being born as a human is a blessing on it's own. But when we are frustrated or stressed out, it becomes impossible for us to see it's privilege. Therefore, the next time you feel like your life is just a waste of time, think about what you have rather than what you could have. Be thankful for the family you have, for the friends who stick by your side, for getting food everyday and for having a roof over your head.

Don't treat yourself the way you would not want anyone else to.

Once you separate yourself from your own criticism, you will be capable of getting all that you wish to have
