Human beings are prone to error, and to err is human. Do you suffer from feelings of inadequacy, ma’am? Read on to find out how you can feel better.
Here are some suggestions:
-
Make a list of the things you are good at. Marvel at them. Rejoice. Keep it next to your bed so you can look at it every morning and start your morning off right. Add to your list.
-
Improve skills you are not an expert in. This can be done by taking the help of online tutorials or by spending time with yourself and practicing over the weekend. It could be programming, singing, dancing, painting, novel writing, anything you want to improve.
-
Talk to your husband or a close friend about it. See what ideas you can gather. He will help you see the positive side of your aspects.
-
When we start working on anything, we will naturally be filled with feelings of inadequacy. We will not know how to start or even if we start, we will not know the next step. However, we will have trouble completing a project. To overcome feelings of inadequacy, search online or research your topic or niche. You will surely start to have clues. Also, you can ask for help from time to time, but not too often.
-
If you are unclear on what to work on or if you have questions or unclear concepts somewhere, speak directly with your boss. Have a fluent conversation and be clear about the project you have to work on.
-
If you don’t feel at home with projects in your department, do your research on the company’s website. There may be another department where your skills and passions can be realized. If you do find one, talk to your boss again if a department change is possible.
-
If you think your workplace is taking up all of your time and you are barely able to spend time with your family, change your job to part-time, if possible. And also work on a side income stream from home at your convenient hours. That way, you can spend a lot of time with your family.
-
In the worst case, if you fight every day so that your work projects go nowhere without potential clients, you may think about looking for another job that better suits your skills and experience. If you find one like that, quit your current job.
In short, I’ve covered eight ways you can stop feeling inadequate and follow your own instructions to feel better and more confident.
