Yeo, what's good? Fam Zaiden Cruz here, your friendly neighborhood
brain whisperer, back with another episode of the Dopamine Detos.
This week, we're diving deep into the shadowy abyss of
self doubt, that sneaky little gremlin whispering you're not good
enough in your ear twenty four to seven Ever, feel
like you're constantly second guessing yourself, like your brain is
(00:20):
a broken record stuck on fail. Trust me, you're not alone.
This shit hits us all, especially as gen zers who
are basically raised on social media's highlight, real and constant comparisons.
It's a recipe for a major confidence crisis, y'all know.
But fear not, my squad, We are about to break
down this self doubt monster piece by piece and equip
(00:42):
you with the tools to reclaim your damn power. First off,
let's get real. Self doubt is like that frenemy who
always shows up uninvited and starts trashing your vibe. It
feeds on your insecurities, amplifies your anxieties, and makes you
question every decision. But here's the tea. It's a liar,
a straight up manipulator with zero chill. It twists your thoughts,
(01:03):
distorts reality, and convinces you that you're not worthy of
good things. But guess what you are worthy? Stop letting
that gremlin win. Now. Let's break down five major takeaways
to help you slay self doubt. Like the boss babe,
you are one, challenge those negative thoughts. When that inner
critic starts spewing its bs, don't just accept it as truth.
(01:23):
Pause for a sec Take a deep breath and ask yourself,
is this really true? What evidence do I have to
support this thought? Most of the time, your self doubt
is based on fear, past experiences, or societal pressures, not facts. Two.
Celebrate your wins, no matter how small. Acknowledge and celebrate
your achievements. Did you finally conquer that presentation at work?
(01:46):
Ast that tough exam? Nailed that TikTok dance challenge? Pat
yourself on the back. These victories build confidence and remind
you of your capabilities. Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day.
Fam Three, step outside your comfort zone. Growth happens when
you push your boundaries. Trying new things, even if they
scare you, helps build resilience and self belief. It's like
(02:08):
leveling up in a video game. You know you gotta
face those challenges to unlock the next level of awesomeness. Four.
Surround yourself with positive vibes. The people you spend time
would influence your mindset. Ditch the negativity and surround yourself
with supportive, encouraging peeps who believe in your potential. Remember,
good energy begets good energy. Find your tribe fam. Five
(02:31):
practice self compassion. Treat yourself with the same kindness and
understanding you would offer a close friend. Don't beat yourself
up over mistakes. Everyone stumbles sometimes, learn from it, dust
yourself off, and keep moving forward. You are worthy of
love and acceptance even when you mess up. Okay, let
me drop some truth on you straight up. Remember that time.

Emma Chamberlain literally built an empire by being herself unapologetically quirky,
funny and real. She didn't care about fitting you or
playing by the rules. She embraced her individuality and now
she's a freaking inspiration to millions of gensers. Talk about confidence.
Emma started out just sharing relatable vlogs on YouTube, but
(03:12):
instead of trying to be someone she wasn't, she doubled
down on her authentic self, her humor was refreshing. Her
style was unique, and she didn't shy away from vulnerability.
People connected with that realness and her channel exploded. Now
she's got a podcast, book, deals, and collaborations with some
of the biggest brands out there. Emma's story is proof
(03:32):
that embracing your true self, even when it feels scary,
can lead to incredible things. She didn't let self doubt
hold her back. She took risks, trusted her gut, and
created something truly special. Listen up, fam Confidence isn't about
being perfect or having it all figured out. It's about
believing in yourself, owning your flaws, and showing up as
(03:53):
your authentic self. Embrace the messy parts, celebrate your wins,
and never stop pushing your boundaries. You got this and
don't forget to smash that follow button. Leave a five
star review and tag us in all your confidence fueled
TikTok moments. Let's spread the love and show the world
