Breaking free from this cycle by nurturing hope—a zest for life characterized by anticipating positive outcomes and feeling safe within oneself takes the emotional turmoil out of the picture. Instead of saying, screw it, it’s hopeless, you have the power to lean into hope through a few practical mindset tools.

I was hoping that you could provide some kind of information as to maybe a secret or a way to deal with self-doubt that is different than what I'm finding on Google.”

Three words: emotional self-abandonment—it hits you right in the gut. Doesn’t it? Emotional self-abandonment happens when you feel neglected, ignored, or dismissed by the significant people in your life, such as a parent, partner, or your closest friend.
