You ever felt like you are no good? Doubting your capabilities and accomplishments? Feeling low about yourself? Well, then you're not the only one. At least I am here battling with my scary thoughts like you.Here are a few things that can help you to be sure of yourself.

Scary Thoughts...

"Miracles happen only when you come out of your comfort zone." I know it's simply said than done. But trust me, start with small steps. You are certainly going to see the change over time. And remember, don't be super hard on yourself. "Pushing your limits" and "Pushing past your limits " have different outcomes.

Come Out Of Your Comfort Zone

That may be true...You either over-estimate yourself or undervalue the talents of the people around you. And as a matter of fact, It will be really painful and disheartening once you know the real truth. "Never think less of yourself, instead think yourself less"

Stop Over-estimating Yourself 

Were you indecisive while making your career choices? Couldn't you answer when somebody asked you about your favorites? Is it hard for you to list out your strengths and weaknesses? If so, you may be lacking self-awareness. We are always interested in knowing others' stuff, while at the same time, we don't bother to care about our priorities.

Know Your Priorities 

Many things in the world would make us depressed. But never let them overpower you. Remember, everything will be simple if you know these three things - your real potential, what matters to you, and at last, be brave enough to challenge yourself.No doubt about it - You Are Worthy!!

Never Let Them Overpower You

( P.S. I am jotting down this to save myself from those overwhelming instants )

Self- Doubt : Kick it out! 

The possibility of failure is always daunting, but with the right preparation and approach, you can push on and succeed. What can you do if you, like Alex, want to face your fear of screwing up on job interviews and push beyond it to success? Here are four steps you can take:

How To Overcome Your Fear of Failure 

By framing a situation you’re dreading differently before you attempt it, you may be able to avoid some stress and anxiety.

1. Redefine Failure 

Goals can be classified as approach goals or avoidance goals based on whether you are motivated by wanting to achieve a positive outcome or avoid an adverse one. Psychologists have found that creating approach goals, or positively reframing avoidance goals, is beneficial for well-being.

    2. Set approach goals (not avoidance goals).

Author and investor Tim Ferriss recommends “fear-setting,” creating a checklist of what you are afraid to do and what you fear will happen if you do it.Make three lists: first, the worst-case scenarios if he bombed the interview; second, things he could do to prevent the failure; and third, in the event the flop occurred, what could he do to repair it.

3. Create a “fear list"

The chips aren’t always going to fall where you want them to — but if you understand that reality going in, you can be prepared to wring the most value out of the experience, no matter the outcome.

    4. Focus on learning

The possibility of failure is always daunting, but with the right preparation and approach, you can push on and succeed.

Social phobias

While it is generally understood to be a fear of open spaces, agoraphobia is a much more complex fear. It is a serious anxiety disorder than can trap people in their homes or make leading a normal life next to impossible. Some people with agoraphobia avoid specific places or venues.

Agoraphobia: fear of open spaces

Some people fear heights so badly the escalators at the local shopping centre give them vertigo. Vertigo is different to the phobia and is the sense of dizziness people can develop. For others a cliff-top lookout or a tall building makes their head spin.

Acrophobia: fear of heights

With all the media coverage of air disasters it is understandable many fear being in a plane crash and hence have a fear of flying. But with more than 100,000 commercial flights around the world each day, the chances of being struck by lightning are higher than dying in a plane crash.

Pteromerhanophobia: fear of flying

Sometimes the fear of flying is actually more closely linked to a fear of enclosed spaces. People with this fear say they feel like the walls are closing on them. Some theories suggest there is a genetic link to specific phobias as a kind of dormant survival mechanism.

Claustrophobia: fear of enclosed spaces

They are small, they crawl and they often bite, so it is understandable why many people do not like spiders and insects. But they are a crucial link in the food chain and we cannot live without them.

Entomophobia: fear of insects

Indiana Jones famously quipped "I hate snakes", and he is not alone. A fear of all things long and venomous is common to many. The great thing about snakes is that if you leave them alone they will leave you alone.

Cynophobia: fear of dogs

It is understandable why the booming sound of thunder can send people's hearts racing and a fear of storms is common. Realistically it is lightning that can hurt people, but the chance of that happening is remote.

Astraphobia: fear of storms

Having a sharp piece of metal stuck in your arm is always an unpleasant thought and many people develop a strong aversion to needles. But needles are typically worth the pain with them either delivering vaccinations, delivering blood donations or helping to investigate a potential illness — even creating a tattoo.

<ul><li>Many stories from the middle ages included a cartoonish and colourful entertainer full of vice and mischief.</li><li>The 19th century refined the clown and made it appealing for kids by including simple slapstick comedy routines, later overtaken by science fiction novels and movies that depicted clowns as evil and sinister.</li><li>Real-life events in the news involving killer clowns made the fear more real and tangible.</li></ul>
