How to Reassure Myself Things Are OK

Take time to focus on yourself and your feelings to reassure yourself that everything is OK. Self-doubt is a feeling everyone experiences at some point in his life. When you constantly question yourself and your actions, you create mental roadblocks that prevent you from moving forward. Reassuring yourself can help you remove those roadblocks.

  Acknowledge your feelings. It's OK to doubt yourself from time to time. Tell yourself that you're not being silly or crazy for feeling the way you do.

  Express your feelings as a way of reassuring yourself. If you're angry, go into a room away from everyone else to scream for a few minutes. If you're worried about being too loud, scream into a pillow. Also, exercising may help you burn off that negative energy. Go for a run or a walk to clear your head. If you feel like crying, allow yourself to shed tears. If you feel comfortable in doing so, talk to someone about what you're feeling. Tell a friend or loved one what's going on or ask for guidance.
