We tend to be harsh on ourselves and less harsh on others. Remember this when you are evaluating your performance and doubting yourself. 

It will help you ease your mind and remind you that the things you are telling yourself are probably not true. 

By knowing your values and how you seek to live your life, the criticism of others does not matter as much. You know your course and know where you are going. 

Keeping a journal is therapeutic and allows you to keep track of how you are feeling. It helps you get all your thinking out onto a page and gives you a release from self-doubt. 

The reason why is because as you read your problems, you may learn that they are not as big as you thought they ...

No matter how small the achievement seems to others, if it is something you are proud of, make a note of it. 

These achievements remind us we can achieve things and get rid of self-doubt. 

Remember that your friends and families support can only take you so far. You must begin to believe in yourself and your own abilities.

Believe that you can achieve what you want and start tracking small wins to confirm your beliefs. 

Remember, we are all at different stages in our journey. It takes time to get to where you want to be, so do not compare yourself and focus on your goals. 

Negative thoughts pop into all of our minds. It is a natural thing for the brain to do as it is designed to protect us from risk. 

Always evaluate whether you actually believe those thoughts and start thinking about the positive outcomes. 

Supportive people will always be there to lift your spirits when you are feeling low. They will remind you that you can do it and that they are backing you all the way.
