#selfDoubt #selfCriticism #beingPresent #breathing #anxiety #courage #rememberYourStrengths #mindfulness #meditation #zenmister #zenwords Self-doubt is something you can work with. When you notice yourself experiencing that doubt remind yourself that you are not as bad as you think. That is the paranoid quality asserting itself. Paranoid is fearing something that is not real. Self-doubt is just as convincing which makes it seem real. Being present and bringing your attention to your breath, taking deep breaths to address your anxiety is something real that you can rely on. Remembering your strengths, like the courage you have to face this anxiety, can help interrupt the spiralling quality of self-doubt and self-criticism.
