The Active Optimist

Self Doubt & the Lie "I should be further along by now"


Listen Later

This week's episode comes from my experience doubting myself, where I'm going, and playing into the lie that I should be further along by now. Self doubt is one of the many ways negative self talk keeps up from staying on an upward spiral away from depression. I talk about distinguishing between internal and external judgement and their respective solutions.

Things that have helped me with self doubt (shared in this episode):

  1. Talking to someone.
  2. Writing down my past accomplishments.
