As someone who’s typically a go-getter, today was different. I found myself doubting my abilities multiple times. While I was aware of it, I couldn’t seem to stop the spiral. I sat with it, trying to trace the trigger—what caused this sudden wave of uncertainty? But no matter how hard I searched, I couldn’t connect it to anything tangible.
Then I paused and asked myself, Do I need to dissect this feeling? Or could I simply let the self-doubt exist without letting it derail my day? Could I accept it as a part of my human experience and keep moving forward with what I was doing at the moment?
This shift in perspective helped. Instead of getting stuck in the loop of “why,” I chose to focus on the present.
Self-doubt is a curious thing. Is it the voice of imposter syndrome whispering in our ears? Or is it a fleeting emotion that loses power when we stop engaging with it?
