You actually get a mini dopamine hit from being right, even when it's not really the thing that you want.

And so, yeah, I mean, doubt impacts us in so many different ways.

I mean, I think we all at times...

have little moments of self-doubt creep in, but I like to do something called a resiliency plan for those moments and having that developed before it happens.

And this is so many different areas of my life now I have a resiliency plan for, lots of different things.

But for example, I like to do my morning pages every morning.

I learned that from The Artist's Way.

It's very helpful.

I'm a huge fan of them.

There was one time where it brought up something and it kind of made me feel anxious.

And I kind of stopped doing them for a while because I didn't want to ruin a bad day.

I didn't want to ruin a bad day.

I don't want to feel anxious.

I don't want to start my day off like that.

But then what I kind of realized and even worked through with my coach was, no, you need to just have a resiliency plan for when those moments do happen.

Like, what are you going to do?

And I decided I'm just going to move my body.

I'm going to move my body.

I'm going to go exercise because that always helps me reset.

And so having that plan as well for what am I going to do in moments of doubt?
