5 common destructive beliefs that impact your performance, mood, and ability to successfully reach your goal.
1. I Am Not Good Enough
2. I Am Not Worth It
3. I Can’t Do It
4. I Am Alone
5. What If ...?

These thoughts come from what you have learned over your life experience of doing things well and not doing things well. Beliefs are formed about what failure and success means, which may not have been entirely an accurate way of perceiving the situation. At some point during your life, more than likely your childhood you learned that whenever you didn’t meet your goals it meant that you were not good enough. And it’s that idea of negativity that overshadows any of the positives or successes you’ve had in the past or might have in the future.

The good news is that there is a way to break apart the pattern of the destruction that it causes.

You can use this simple strategy:

Step 1: First identify the belief that is the problem using the 4 W’s (when, where what, and why). When do the destructive thoughts enter your mind? Is it when you have a task you are trying to complete or dreaming of completing and it’s not getting done? Where are you when you have these thoughts? What are the thoughts exactly? Why is the thought true? I assume you believe the thought, otherwise you would just shrug it off and keep going with your work. What is the evidence that you are not good enough? Make sure you write these down somewhere.

Step 2: Challenge the thought with evidence against it. Whatever evidence you come up with, jot that down.

Step 3: Take the evidence for and against, you need to come up with an alternative thought or statement that you can use in future situations.

Step 4: Focus on this alternative thought or statement whenever the thoughts come up that you are not good enough, it the situation. You may decide to say the statement out loud when it comes to mind, which is fine to do. It’s a way to shift your mental focus away from your destructive belief that doesn’t have good evidence anyway, to a thought that is more positive, and supported by actual evidence.

If you do these steps, you will see progress.
