10 Ways To Conquer Self-Doubt In The New Year

     with yourself when you keep trying to follow the advice of several people, so stop considering what others think, and focus on what you think and how you feel. Start being radically honest with yourself, so you can identify your hurdles and the best way to beat them.
2. Forgive Yourself  
Sometimes you can be so hard on yourself, it paralyzes you. Sometimes that happens when you give in to your doubts. In order to keep moving forward, and to move beyond your doubts, you have to forgive yourself: for letting your misgivings get the best of you, for letting them impact your work, for having a moment of weakness, etc. Everyone experiences self-doubt, and the sooner you forgive yourself, the sooner you can move forward.
3. You're Not Alone 
Everyone has dark periods, where they are unsure where they are going in life or how to move forward when they are in a rut. The best way to make progress is to just keep going, one task at a time, one day at a time, one week at a time. Make yourself proud with your continuous effort, because you will get through this.

4. Surround Yourself With The Right People 
Surrounding yourself with the right people makes a significant difference in how long it takes you to conquer your self doubt. They are the ones who are going to love you, support you and root for you through what you feel are your worst moments, and help you get back in the saddle. Reach out to them sooner rather than later. The best thing you can do for yourself is to reach out to someone, or a few people, you know truly care about you and tell them what is going on.
5. Build Confidence One Step At A Time  
The foundation of self confidence is your accomplishments, large and small. Progress is achieved in increments, not in one fell swoop. So if you know you're unhappy, and you believe you can do more, then start with small goals and build on them. Whatever your goal is: wake up 15 minutes earlier, eat more vegetables, go to bed 15 minutes earlier, start taking the initiative to block things that distract you and enable your bad habits. Following through on small steps forward will give you the confidence to build on those steps and keep pushing forward.

‘Igbos Are The Most Foolish Tribe In The World – MASSOB Leader, Uwazurike Founder and leader of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, Chief Ralph Uwazurike, has described the Igbo tribe as foolish. In a chat with PUNCH, The MASSOB founder insisted that Igbo may not become Nigeria’s president because they only fight for their pocket. He recalled how Igbo was pushed aside after forming the former ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in 1999. He insisted that anyone calling for the unity of Nigeria does not mean well for the already troubled nation. His words, “Remember, it was the Igbo man that formed this PDP but they snatched it from him. Then, it was clear that an Igbo man would be the President of Nigeria. But in Jos, it was the Igbo who robbed themselves of that opportunity. The Igbo at that political event in Jos started speaking Hausa. “The Igbo started sponsoring (Olusegun) Obasanj...

What is wrong with being black? By Matthew Ashimolowo Celebrating our Heritage, Confronting our Challenges Overview When you look  around  you, you could only wonder, “Has it come to this?” Should we begin to think that black people have a peculiarity with problems? In truth, an examination of the lives of black people around the world should answer this bugging question. Even though all human communities; black, white, green or red, are faced with challenges, Matthew Ashimolowo was not being out of place when he asked: “What is wrong with Being Black?” This book is divided into two parts, the first part examines the  glorious  past of the man of colour while the second part analyses the problems that have been peculiar to black people and the causes of such problems. Matthew Ashimolowo tagged the second part “Conformations and Pathologies”. It is a shame that the glorious past of the black man is not often told of. Matthew Ashimolowo has done an ex...

Why is Self-Esteem important? Self-esteem refers to a person's beliefs about their own worth and value. It also has to do with the feelings people experience that follow from their sense of worthiness or unworthiness. Self-esteem is important because it heavily influences people's choices and decisions. In other words, self-esteem serves a motivational function by making it more or less likely that people will take care of themselves and explore their full potential. People with high self-esteem are also people who are motivated to take care of themselves and to persistently strive towards the fulfillment of personal goals and aspirations. People with lower self-esteem don't tend to regard themselves as worthy of happy outcomes or capable of achieving them and so tend to let important things slide and to be less persistent and  resilient  in terms of overcoming adversity. They may have the same kinds of goals as people with higher self-esteem, but they are generally less m...
