Doubting Michele is at it again. I’m guessing you can relate to me. I find that anytime I’m about to break through or level up doubting Michele begins to work overtime in my mind. Anytime that I’m exceeding my goals, feeling extra proud of myself for my decisions, and at peace with my life that voice of self-doubt begins to flare up and get really loud.
No Mercy
My voice of self-doubt has no mercy. Therefore, she starts to bring up the failures of the past instead of looking forward to all of my possibilities.
You see my doubting Michele is the scared little girl that doesn’t want to stick out. No Friend, she is the little girl that doesn’t want to draw attention to herself for fear that she will be teased or even laughed at.
Further, this voice is the Michele that doesn’t believe in her possibilities. After all, it’s the Michele that is not confident and thankful for her very own healthy skin.
After all, that is the Michele that doesn’t believe with her whole heart that God has her back.
In fact, she is so silly to believe all those things.
Do you know the voice of self-doubt?
Do you know the voice of self-doubt that I’m talking about? In other words, the voice that tries to limit you from your greatness. To put it differently, the voice in your head that doesn’t want you to get out of the comfort zone for fear of judgment or rejection.
The voice of self-doubt is selfish
What the voice of self-doubt doesn’t get is, by playing small and hiding really we are being selfish. Which is the complete opposite of what most of us want to accomplish in our lives and how we want to be seen in our lives.
What most people don’t realize, is that voice of self-doubt is not thinking about anyone but themselves.
They are caught up in their own made-up thoughts. Now, this is important, they’re either stuck in the past or worrying about the future.
Shh, the voice of self-doubt
These days I catch on to her tricks pretty quickly. As a result, I pick up what she’s laying down. In fact, I laugh about it and examine every single doubt. As well as every single limiting thought.
Asking myself “Is this true?” “Is this what I truly believe about myself or is it my fears?”
Then I chuckle at doubting Michele and thank her for keeping me safe.
After all, I gently remind her that the LORD gave her everything she needed to be an amazing wife, mother, friend, daughter, sister, business owner, and life coach.
Do you listen to that voice?
Friends, how do you handle your voice of self-doubt? Do you fall for their tricks or do you gently remind them why you are amazing?
Each of us is amazing and we get to choose to believe that for ourselves. We get to choose to shh that voice of self-doubt when it tries to dull our sparkle.
All of us are made to sparkle and shine on everyone that comes in contact with us.
Because we need to be the light that people are pulled to when they have their own voice of self-doubt. When they need to feel loved, cared for, and appreciated.
If we listen to the voice of self-doubt it can consume us with negativity. There is no peace and no joy in our negativity.
