When do I most often experience self-doubt?

What emotions do I experience when doubt appears?

Challenging Negative Thought Patterns

Not every thought is true. Many doubts are assumptions rather than facts.

Is there a more balanced way to think about this situation?
Write your response.
Exercise 2 – Reframing Thoughts
Replace negative thoughts with balanced alternatives.
Example:
Old Thought:
“I will probably fail.”
New Thought:
“I may face challenges, but I can learn and improve.”
Your reframes:
Old Thought → New Thought
