Summary

Like many of the concepts we discuss on Spartan MIND, self-doubt is one that we can all relate to because we ALL have elements of self-doubt. Some of us struggle with more self-doubt than others but we can all use similar strategies to work through the self-doubt. Implementing an internal dialogue that observes where the self-doubt may be coming from can be a useful tactic. Evaluating the intensity of the self-doubt and knowing that, to some degree, we all experience a little can also give you some perspective.

LESSONS: Self-doubt is part of the human experience. Building resilience to self-doubt is your best weapon. Try asking yourself, “Where is this self-doubt coming from” to help you gain more self-awareness. Work on reality testing to help you close the gap on how you feel vs. reality. Use positive affirmations and optimism to assist in moving you through it.

0:00.0	What's up Spartans? It's Dr. L here with Spartan Mind, your chief mind doc.
0:09.2	Today we're talking about battling self-doubt. Now first of all let's just be clear we all have
0:16.4	a little bit of self-doubt. Yes there are some of us that have lots of self-doubt
0:20.4	and feel really burdened by it and others that maybe you know just a
0:24.2	little bit here or there and then there's everybody in between right but if you're
0:28.2	out there thinking like oh this is such a me episode because I'd struggle with
0:31.8	self doubt but I'm probably the only one.
0:33.8	No I'm creating this episode actually because I get a lot of comments about self-doubt.
0:38.7	How do I get through it? How do I get over it? you know, that kind of thing.
0:42.5	So that's why we're talking about it today.
0:44.2	Okay, so one of the things that's really important
0:46.8	in battling self-doubt that I think we need to understand
0:49.6	is that first, you have to observe and recognize and understand the self-doubt.
0:56.5	Now there are a lot of people out there who might say well just ignore it right
1:00.1	and then you'll get over it. It really does not work that way. I promise you in
1:04.6	ten years of practices as a psychologist I can say that I have never had anybody just
1:08.8	get over self-doubt. The best way actually to move through self-doubt and to battle self-doubt
1:16.1	is to observe and recognize it. Think about it. If it's like an opponent on the battlefield,
1:21.6	you don't necessarily just ignore them to fight them, right?
1:25.6	You actually see them, you see what weapons they have, you observe them, and then you kill
1:29.8	them.
1:30.8	So this is the same way.
