Self-doubt has been a major stumbling block for me for most of my life. I struggle with it more at some times than at others, but it manages to rear its ugly head all to often still. I'm learning ways, more and more, to move past these times and they're duration is shrinking slowly but surely.

I find it helps in times like these to reach out to close friends. Getting positive feedback from them helps fuel my forward momentum. However, there are times when I must simply trudge forward on my own, even if at a little slower pace. It's continued forward movement that is important. Once I've pushed through, I usually start to see the results, and my confidence is renewed.

What I'm getting at is this, friends support and personal determination are the best tools I've found in moving past my own self-doubt. I hope this can help others move past theirs as well.
