SELF-DOUBT - Teaching Humanity Remotely with Dr. Mindy Shaw - Ep. 239

In this episode, Dr. Shaw examines the concept of self-doubt.  She begins with a reference to one of her favorite books, The Four Agreements, and she talks about a featured notion of that book which is to be impeccable with your words.   Her interpretation of that is to not go against yourself, because if you do, with your perception pf self-doubt you may have a self-fulfilling prophecy on your hands.  She puts forth that the way to rectify self-doubt is to have self-compassion when having doubt and then practice not having doubt.  You can practice not having low self-esteem by marking and noting those moments when you succeed in something.  Doubt in and of itself isn't always negative... it can give you caution and help you avoid a dangerous situation.  With our children, we are sharing our life lessons and being their mentors, and if we can put them on the best path by having them avoid self-doubt, their journey might just be smoother.
