Self-Doubt - Why You Shouldn’t Let It Overwhelm You

Posted by admin on November 18th, 2009 filed in Uncategorized

This is a position that nobody wants to be in. This is the factor that impedes the development of character and self improvement. This is where we do not want to be - and once we give in to this, there is almost no where to turn again. It is a dark place, treacherous and full of feelings of depression, anger and irrational fear that can sink us further into the despair that has become our life. What happens when you experience overwhelming self-doubt?

You feel that you are no longer yourself. You look in the mirror and can barely recognise the man or woman that stares back at you, haggard, shoddy. The person in the mirror mocks you, calls you a failure and the floor has overtaken your vision as you look down - and you find inveritable truth in those miserable thoughts. You have lost all control. You cannot do anything and are stuck in a negative cycle that overtakes you - you begin to fade away into a mere shadow of yourself.

Depression follows shortly after, and it is the strange bedfellow of self-doubt. A person suffering from self-doubt can suffer anxiety attacks, and their outlook on life is dark and morbid, often pessimistic and negative towards others. You shy away from your friends and even your family because you have irrational hate or fear - the very emotions that will cause you to be alone. And alone, you wallow in your self pity, you chew upon your suffering until your stomach is full of it and you can take no more. Depression drives you to the brink of madness. You quit your job and you linger in the fringes of the world, seemingly looking in from a place that is exclusively and tormentingly yours. And you spy the rope, the blade and the pill as solace - the final solution.

This is a dark picture and a possible but far destination for us who are sometimes visited by that monster called self doubt. It may just whisper to us now but soon the voice will get louder and louder and we may end up overpowered by it and allow it to slip into our conscious minds.

Never allow it to get that far. We need to reprogram our mind and cast out the monster from the recesses of our subconscious because ladies and gentlemen - this is where it lives. It feeds on the negative experiences and the bad influences of the world, advertising and examples we see and hear everyday. It is awakened by the failures in our lives - failures we allow to take over and breathe more life into this monster. The solution is out there - technology or even traditional methods that allow you to reach in and remove this monster and take back your life. Psychological and subliminal - it’s time for an alternative solution.
