Self-doubt can be painfully intense when you've experienced a professional shift, especially when your inner voice starts echoing external negativity, which will undoubtedly slow your forward momentum.
Although you may not be able to change external circumstances, you have the power to control your inner dialogue. By doing so, you can turn self-doubt into self-confidence. The objective is to manage your doubts so that you can clear a mental path that will help you affirm your intelligence and strength. You will create a new narrative so you are more receptive to attracting positive connections and recognizing new opportunities.
Start by changing your perspective of your current situation. Remind yourself that your newly found freedom is an opportunity for better things to come. You are unshackled to make more money, find a better workplace, or start your own business. Create an accomplishments list and write down all your achievements and how they can help another company.
Incorporate powerful 'I Am' statements into your morning routine. These statements will help deflect the negativity, reinforce what you can do, and attract what you deserve.
Examples: I am intelligent and understand my business. I am a great asset to an organization that respects its co-workers. I am confident that the right opportunity will present itself.
Repeating these mantras over and over will help your brain align with your true potential.
Consider connecting with a coach or organization to help you organize your thoughts and develop a plan of action to help you achieve your goals and win.
Professional shifts can be emotionally devastating, and although you may find yourself mourning for what was, lamenting about the past will never bring the changes you desire. However, Altering your internal conversations, strengthening your mindset with powerful I Am statements, and connecting with folks who will support your forward momentum will be the catalyst for a brighter vision of your future.
