I feel like the best way to convince myself that a story idea is good actually is to ignore questions of is it good/bad and just.. explain the idea and what's the end goal of it. Because once I get myself into the weeds of the idea, I get really into it and excited about it. Convince myself that its an idea worth pursuing.
Meanwhile, if I try to be self-aware and directly frame it as whether its good or bad, I get into comparisons to other stories and just defaulting to "it will never be as good as X" or "I'm just not good enough"
