Self-doubt is a distorted lens *

A concept I often revisit:

self-assessment 🧠✨

We need brutal self-awareness to identify areas of improvement, embrace a growth mindset, and push our competency boundaries.

But how do we balance this with self-doubt? 🤔

Self-doubt is natural but distorts our perception of ourselves & our abilities.

Our flaws seem bigger than they are 😵‍💫

Where's the line separating them? 📏

Self-doubt is a distorted lens and magnifies our flaws 🔍

While self-assessment allows you to see the whole picture and foster continuous growth 🌱

So how do you stick to self-assessment?

(1) Focus on SMART goals 🎯: Pinpoint areas of improvement that matter to you

(2) Engage in double-loop learning 🔄: Challenge beliefs, assumptions & biases for deeper personal growth

(3) Embrace a growth mindset 🧗‍♀️: Take responsibility for mistakes & believe in your ability to improve

self-doubt = stagnation 🚧

self-assessment = growth 🚀
