As a busy lady juggling multiple commitments, self-doubt can creep in at any time, shaking your confidence and overwhelming you. 

But it doesn't have to be this way. 

You can take control of your thoughts and feelings using simple, actionable tools. 

So, let's dive in and discover how to tackle self-doubt and boost your confidence! In this comprehensive blog post, I'll walk you through five practical tools you can use to feel more confident, positive, and empowered. You'll have a range of techniques to choose from and get the most out of.

1. Create a 'champagne moments' file.

My first tool to tackle self-doubt is simple and effective: create a 'champagne moments' file. It's a file where you'll write down all the compliments, achievements, successes and anything else that makes you feel proud and accomplished.

Whenever you need a boost of confidence or feel your self-worth slipping, open your file and remind yourself of all the fantastic things you've accomplished in the past. This way, you'll shift your focus from what you could be doing better to what you're doing great.

2. Practice the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)

EFT is a powerful technique that uses tapping on various points of the body while focusing on talking through a problem or challenge you are facing. It's easy to learn and can be done anywhere, anytime, making it perfect for busy ladies. 

By tapping on specific points on your body, you'll release negative emotions and replace them with positive ones. 

EFT works wonders for dealing with anxiety, self-doubt, and other negative emotions, so try it and see how it feels! Register to attend a free EFT experience class by clicking here.

3. Learn how to be kinder to yourself.

It's easy to be your worst enemy, criticising yourself over every mistake or perceived flaw. 

But that's precisely why you must learn to be kinder to yourself. Instead of beating yourself up over mistakes, start finding ways to encourage yourself. 

Treat yourself like you would treat a dear friend with kindness, compassion, and understanding. 

Remember that making mistakes is part of being human, and you're doing your best at any given time. So, be gentle with yourself and let go of negative self-talk.

4. Speak to yourself positively.

Positive self-talk is essential for boosting your confidence and self-worth. 

Instead of focusing on your limitations or failures, start reciting positive affirmations to yourself daily. For example, you can say things like "I am confident, capable, and worthy of success" or "I trust my abilities and make the right decisions for myself." 

The more you practice positive self-talk, the more confident and empowered you'll become.

5. Focus on your strengths.

Finally, focus on your strengths to boost your confidence and tackle self-doubt. 

What are you good at? What do you enjoy doing? What makes you feel proud? Take time to reflect on your strengths, and make a list of them. Then, focus on growing and expanding on these strengths rather than trying to fix your weaknesses. 

When you embrace your strengths, you'll feel more confident and passionate about what you're doing.
