3 ways to outsmart your insecurities as CEO

Like fear, insecurities may creep into your life and control your achievement, especially if you’re a CEO,  because they reflect your deepest worries.

When you give in to negative thoughts and feelings about yourself, you rob yourself of happiness in the present as well as the future. You can’t improve as a person or learn to appreciate yourself while you allow these things to hold you back.

Although everyone struggles with fears at some point, not everyone has the tools necessary to handle them successfully. You can learn to regain command of your life if you feel that your insecurities have taken over. To help you cope with your fears and concerns, consider the following 3 ways.

 

1- Find its root

Uncertainty reveals preconceived notions, and these notions evolve into criteria. You internalized norms around the kind of person you should be and the actions you should take to be liked when you are developing. While some norms may have merit and be beneficial, more often than not they become entangled with delusions that do more harm than good. Confidence in yourself will erode as a result of holding onto those false beliefs.

The idea that one can live a life free of any sense of insecurity is the most widely held delusion. You start to think that strong individuals never have doubts, or that confidence is something you have to be born with, so you keep trying to get rid of your fears instead of learning to manage them. It’s easy to feel disheartened and frustrated after being misdirected in this way.

 

2- Fortify your resilience

Pay attention to your thoughts and the way you talk to yourself. Put your doubts and concerns front and center. By doing so, you gain resilience and insight while reducing the illusory influence of your worries.

You give up control when you react to anxiety, but you maintain it when you respond to it. Develop the ability to control your emotions and choose a more appropriate response in each given situation. If you’re often down on yourself and serious, try being humorous instead. Look at what’s helping instead of being hard on yourself. Do not try to hide your strength or your vulnerability; instead, embrace them.

 

3- Look back at your progress

The best medicine against self-doubt is the ability to laugh at oneself. Of course, nobody wishes to fall short, to feel ashamed, or to be deemed “less than.” It’s inevitable, but we’ll all experience it eventually. The savvy ones know how to shrug it off, though, when it does. You can only do your best and laugh at the rest if you know you gave it everything you had and it still didn’t work out.

 

Having dealt with your fears, you may move on with a newfound confidence in your capacity to take calculated chances. Simply put, we want to expand our horizons. change one’s character from yesterday into today. This will lead to exciting new opportunities, personal development, and a more positive outlook on life.
