How To Overcome Self-Doubt Through Self-Appreciation

Welcome to my book about how to overcome self-doubt through self-appreciation throughout the chapters of your WorkLife Story. Here is a preview of what's inside, along with the main ideas and the meaning behind these.

WorkLife is our life at work, where we spend one third of our lives. It is also the impact our work has on our life outside of work, and the impact our life outside of work has on our work. All areas of our life in and out of work are so intrinsically linked, they cannot be separated, nor do I believe should they. I believe WorkLife needs to be considered holistically.

You do so many great things over the course of your WorkLife, some of which you forget about or take for granted, and you don't always recognise how something you've done in the past can help you with something you aspire to do in the future. This can lead to you not fully appreciating who you are and how much you have to give, which in turn can lead you to doubt yourself.

In this book I tell four stories:

1. I Won't be Considered for Jobs Because I'm Too Old: Joe's story of how he was going through the motions of a back-to-work programme, but needed more to overcome his self-doubt.

2. I've Never Done This Before, Is It/Am I Good Enough: Carmel's story of how she overcame her self-doubt through self-appreciation.

3. Crushed by Feedback and What I Did Next: Carmel's story of how over time, through positive feedback given in context, she overcame a crushing experience.

4. How a Lifelong Love of Creating Stories Helped to Overcome Lifelong Self-Doubt and Lack of Self-Appreciation: Gabriel's story of how telling stories to his young son brought him back to the place his self-doubt and lack of self-appreciation had begun, and how through the stories that unfolded he was able to overcome this.

I share the exercises that helped to work through these challenging situations to resolve the dilemmas. I present these exercises as the following assignments for you to work through:
