Should I Or Should I Rather Not? How To Deal With Doubt!

Image by Maarten

When you doubt, rather than automatically criticising yourself for being indecisive, remember that doubt is a healthy natural process by which you can discover your true beliefs.

Doubt shows your mind is trying to tell you something. Trust it, and don’t reject it. If you’re feeling conflicted about an issue, let those feelings in.

When overwhelmed by doubt, try this meditation: Count to 20 while focusing on breathing in and out. Then stop counting. Allow your doubt to come back into your mind, to simply ‘hang’ there. Try to view it as a natural and necessary phenomenon, like rain.

If you feel paralysed and indecisive, then set a timer for three minutes and externalise your doubts by writing them down rapidly. Engaging in this physical process will help you to detach from your doubts – and move on.
