Controlling Your Thoughts
In the previous article we have already established the importance of approaching life with a ‘can do’ attitude, but negativity is ever present in our lives. I’ve not met or heard of a functional human being who does not experience moments of self doubt or worry. It’s normal and not something to fear.
That said, sometimes our doubts and negative thoughts can consume us, holding us back and sapping our confidence. Don’t let them. Endeavour to be in charge of your thoughts, because remember, they aren’t things that can harm you or your confidence unless you let them.
Self-doubt is not the destructive certainty that a psychopath holding a gun at your head it. You can alter and even stop self doubt by thinking differently. If you find you are coming up with negative answers when you question yourself, ask different questions. If you answer “will I succeed at this” with a worrying and confidence sapping “no” change your internal question to “how can I assure that I WILL succeed at this?”
If you feel yourself slipping into a spiral of self-doubt or worry before an interview or presentation, stop and think for a moment. You are worrying about the bad things that might happen if you are not ‘impressive’ enough, so you are picturing failure. Instead focus on the good things that will happen if and when you ARE impressive enough. It’s just the same thing in reverse.
This isn’t a panacea for all your worries and doubts, but it will certainly help you let go of those irrational fears brought about by the shot of adrenaline that the fight-or-flight reflex gives you prior to the sorts of events we are discussing here.
