Working Through Insecurities and Doubt to Become Against All Average

Against All Average

10/02/20 • 37 min

Battling Insecurities and doubt

Step 1: Identifying it

If we don't put a name to what we are feeling, how are we going to work toward being more secure with outselves?

Step 2: Create positive messaging about your insecurity

So often when we are insecure we look at ourselves in the mirror and start the negative self talk. Change that into positive self talk about your specific insecurity.

Step 3: Work on the area in which you are insecure or doubtful

When we work towards our goal of being more secure of ourselves we release a good amount of dopamine. This will help you to continue your path to success.

Becoming Against All Average: Part 4

Sharpen Your Knife

When you are at your lowest, and feeling down and out, continue to work on yourself. Read a book, listen to a podcast, take a class online. With new skills comes confidence and new opportunity.

Action Outplays Thought

Small consistent action builds momentum. By taking action we can take our minds out of a consistent loop of anxiety, worry, and fear. Remember, a step in the wrong direction is better than no step at all. We learn from doing.
