Do not compare with others, just focus on your achievement. Appreciate yourself; there were many challenges of life that you have successfully managed.
Avoid Self-Doubt, It Slowly Tears You Apart.
Self-doubt starts slowly, unless you start to notice and act on it, it will gradually grows. The good thing is you can gradually get over self-doubt. Self-doubt destroys your confidence and gives you a feeling of hiding in a corner all the time. So take the bull by the horns and face up to the reality that you are in control of your life. Even if you are not too certain about the facts, act the part. Act as if you know it all and you are in control. Don’t ask anyone to validate your work. Have confidence in yourself to know that what you are doing is correct.
Ways To Battle Self-Doubt
Self-doubt can be shown in many ways, either you question everything you do, either you question what you already know, either other people make you feel uncomfortable by exaggerating your minor mistake, or you are surrounded by people with toxic ideas, or many other reasons.
First, Analyze how you talk to others, how you talk to yourself also. What kind of words do you use?
After you have done something to the best of your ability, do you question and worried you might have done something wrong or you forgot something? Try to understand why you doubt yourself. Then take one step at a time. Start by believing in what you know, follow the rules, follow the instructions, do your best, and then try not to think what is passed.

| Believe In Yourself |
It’s the simple sense of personal value attached to a person. Respecting yourself first also scream that you love yourself. If you don’t respect yourself, then no one else will. Similarly, if you don’t respect yourself, you will not have respect for others. Make your decisions and stick to it. Just ensure that you have made the right decision.
Respect your ideas, if you don’t respect your ideas no one will. When you show respect to others, a positive atmosphere is created and forms friendship among fellow persons around you. Giving compliments to others also shows that you value other persons as human beings. Ask them how they are today.
Show a little compassion for their feelings. Someone may be having a bad day and just by you asking about their day, changes their perception of the situation.
No One Has Made Everyone Happy.
The worst part is, not everyone cares about your feelings, so why care about theirs. You cannot please everyone. So the best person to please is who? You guessed right… you, please yourself. You come first. Self-confidence and living happy will make you realize that what others think of you does not matter to you at all. Hold your head high and aim for the stars.
Remind Yourself Of Your Achievements
Keep some form of record of this. Whether a diary, a note book, a memoir, keep something. You can sacrifice some funds and buy yourself something nice. Every time you look at it, you will remember the occasion it was brought for. Have good clean thoughts and positive memories. Whenever you might be feeling lost, reflect on one of those beautiful days when something nice happened in your life.
Believe In Yourself
This also ties back into self-confidence. Believing in yourself will make others believe in you. Continue to sharpen your skills. Think of it as a tool you use to work with. If you use an axe to work and it never gets sharpened, what will happen to it? It will get dull and stop working after a while. Likewise our brains will work like this.
Read, read and read. Read everything that is available to you. It broadens your horizon and opens up your mind to other things in the Universe. Have self-discipline also. If you want to lose weight, you have to work hard at it. Or else, it just will not happen. You can’t get up one day out of five and work out and expect to lose the weight. Consistency is the key.
Never Stop Learning
Be ready to improve yourself by learning from others. Educate yourself to the highest that you can afford. You will be rewarded some day for it. Learning is a way of investing in yourself. We are living in a very competitive world.
See the Positive Side
A pessimist will always see the glass as being half empty. Why not look on it the other way. The glass is half full. That’s how a positive person will look at life. There’s always something good in the bad. Look closely and you will find it.
Or maybe it’s just not the right time. If something doesn’t happen right away, don’t sweat it. Be patient and see what will take place. This does not mean that life is all positive, but thinks of the positive while dealing also with the negative side of life.
Minimize Worrying
You can’t eliminate worrying altogether, but you can minimize and manage it. You have to minimize too much worrying, it will not benefit you. It is true that for some people (Especially in competitive situation like Sports) worrying to lose make them work hard and win.
The idea is worrying and then doing something about what worries you is the solution, but too much worrying for irrelevant things will not benefit you at all.
Insecurity Is Common
Everyone experiences it from time to time. People are insecure about their body, how they look, about their life, about their knowledge, about what they do, and many more things. Make sure others will not psychologically influence you to feel insecure about something in your life. Internal self-imposed insecurity is your responsibility to fight back.
