Hey, everyone, Logan Cruiz Hair, your friendly neighborhood guide to
navigating life with a little mozen and a whole lot
of confidence. We've all been there, right, that feeling of
imposter syndrome, creeping in, whispering down scenario like are you
really good enough? Well? What if you fail? It's the
inner critic on overdrive, and let me tell you, it
can be a real buskill. But today we are flipping
(00:22):
the script, but iving have first into overcoming stuffed up
and embracing uncertainty because guess what, it's not about erasing
those doubts. It's about learning to dance with them. Ever
felt like you were holding back, afraid to put yourself
out there because you're inner voice was screaming what if
you mess up? You know that feeling when you have
an amazing idea but you hesitate to share it because
(00:43):
you're scared of judgment or rejection. We've all been there.
But here's the truth. Uncertainty is a part of life.
It's inevitable. The sooner we accept that, the better equipped
we are to handle it with grace and even dare
I say a little bit of excitement. So how do
we do it? How do we silence those pesky doubts
and step into our power. Here five key takeaways to
(01:05):
help you navigate this journey. One, Reframe your thoughts. Our
thoughts have incredible power, shaping our beliefs and influencing our actions.
When self doubt creeps in, don't just accept it as truth.
Challenge those negative thoughts. I ask yourself, is the evidence
to support this belief? Or what would I tell a
friend who was having these thoughts? Often we are our

To focus on your strengths. We all have unique talents
and abilities. Make a list of your strengths as things
you're naturally good at or that make you feel confident.
Remind yourself of these strengths regularly. When self doubt arises,
refer back to this list and celebrate your accomplishments though
(01:51):
we embrace them perfection. Perfection is a myth. Striving for
it can lead to anxiety and disappointment. Instead, focus on progress,
not perfection. Celebrate small winds and acknowledge that mistakes our
opportunities for learning and growth. Remember, even the most successful
people stumble along the way. What matters is how we
(02:12):
learn and bounce back. Thar step outside your comfort zone.
Growth happens when we challenge ourselves, try something new, take
a risk, or say yes to an opportunity that scares
you a little bit. Stepping outside your comfort zone Bill's
confidence and resilience. I've surround yourself with supportive people. The
(02:32):
company we keep matters. Seek out people who believe in you,
encourage you and celebrate your successes. Build to support system
of friends, family, or mentors who can offer guidance and
encouragement when you need it most. Let me tell you
a story that illustrates this perfectly. Imagine Sarah, a talented
artist who has been afraid to share her work publicly
(02:53):
for years. She constantly doubted her skills, worried about criticism,
and let fear hold her back. But then she attended
a workshop where she met other artists who were supportive
and encouraging. They shared their own struggles and triumphs, reminding
Sarah that ful nobility is a strength. Inspired by their stories,
Sarah decided to take a leap of faith. She entered
(03:15):
her art work in an exhibition, and much to her surprise,
it was well received the experience gave her new found
confidence in the courage to pursue her passion more wholeheartedly. Sir, Remember,
overcoming self doubt isn't about becoming feel as. It's about
acknowledging those doubts, learning to manage them, and choosing to
move forward anyway. It's about embracing un seventy as an
