In this episode, I want to talk about doubt. Doubt is simply defined as a feeling of uncertainty or lack of conviction.

In this episode, we discuss: 1)  Why do we experience doubt?  It surfaces when we are growing and pushing our limits and comfort zone. We have motivational values and threshold values. Doubt may encourage us to gain more understanding - that would be positive. Remaining always in doubt is a negative state of mind! Doubt may be from ignorance and a reason to simply deny what we do not understand - that would be negative as well.

2)  What is your first reaction when doubt shows up? How do you respond? What do you make it mean about what you are doing or about you? Doubt can stem from negative experiences, words we have heard or feeling like you're an imposter – especially when you are pushing the boundaries of your threshold. 3)  There is Identity Doubt and Idea Doubt. Identity Doubt. Identity Doubt is when we doubt our abilities, character and personality. Idea Doubt is when we question an idea we had. Idea Doubt can often show up dressed as Identity Doubt and that's why it's so easy to confuse the two!

4)  What is the doubt doing to your body on the inside when it shows up?  

The amygdala triggers the flow of stress hormones in a similar fashion as if you were being chased by a tiger. In addition, the basal ganglia which is responsible for regulating habits, gets activated as you consistently respond by acting (or not acting) on your intentions. The answer…MOVE.  Take one action step to move you forward and celebrate that you are human!
