Self-doubt is that feeling of uncertainty about your ability to accomplish something. This dark shadow of insecurity can lead to hesitation and indecision. If left unchecked, it can cause us to abandon our course or radically compromise our expectations. Here are seven simple steps to conquering(战胜) self-doubt. 1. Recognize and acknowledge your doubt. You cannot overcome something until you first recognize and acknowledge its existence. If we give into the temptation (诱惑)to ignore or deny self-doubt, it will impose limits on our ability to act. Self-doubt can be a stealthy(潜在的) problem. If you suspect that it exists, you need to pull it into the light so it can be dealt with. The better you become at identifying hidden doubts, the easier it will be to overcome them. 2. Analyze your doubt. Spend some time drilling down and figure out what triggered(引发) it and why? When you analyze feelings, you make them vulnerable (脆弱)logic and reason. Normally, feelings override logic, but questioning the validity of feelings brings them within the reach of reason. 3. Identify the source. If you can figure out where these feelings originate, then you can hit them where they live. You dont need to psychoanalyze yourself back to childhood or anything like that. Just try to get a handle on the area of your life that creates your sense of uncertainty so you can work on it. 4. Is there a pattern. Do you have a history of self-doubt in this area? Doubt tends to have favorite places to hang out. This raises the likelihood that we have probably experienced it in a similar situation before. Think back, have you been down this road before? Did you overcome your doubts? If so, what steps did you take? If not, what can you do differently this time around? 5. Design a plan. Sit down and plan out a strategy for defeating your doubt. Make an educated decision about what to do next. Choose a path that you think will lead to conquering your doubts. Next, put your plan down in writing. 6. Anticipate(预计) possible challenges. Now look at your plan and try to identify possible challenges along the way. Is there some area that you need help with? If so, ask someone close to you to give you some encouragement. Sometimes, some foresight and a little support is all it takes. 7. Take action. You have a plan, the next step is to put it to use by taking action. Stick to your plan and ask for help if you need it. In fact, encouragement is good even if you think you can go it alone. For most people, self-doubt is just a temporary condition. Think of it like a speed bump on the road to success. Take the bump in stride(脚步), then put the pedal to the metal, and go for it. When your confidence is challenged, just follow these seven steps and you will get past it. In fact, I have no doubt about your ability to leave self-doubt in the dust.Title: How to conquer self-doubtThe symptoms of self-doubt l Feeling uncertain about being (71) of accomplishing somethingl Leading to hesitation and indecision or, even worse, abandoning the task.l Lasting a (72) time Seven simple stepsRecognize andacknowledge your doubt(73)until you first recognize and acknowledge hidden doubts can you overcome them.
