How to raise my confidence in my work?

Question

I sometimes feel that i lack the confidence in my work. I feel afraid to try something new, to ask superiors about some stuff i don't understand, because I'm afraid to be yelled at or etc.

Can anyone give me some pointers?

Answer 1

Know your job, if you know the theory and practical of the job you should be right. It depends on what you do maybe do research on your job eg if it's gardening read more of the latest gardening books. Stay in touch with the latest information with your job.  

Answer 2

I had self-doubt and fears that prevented me from going to the next level.  My counselor has given me this tool:  F.E.A.R.=False Evidence Appearing Real. I use this tool quite often.

I am bipolar and have some serious issues.  But I have overcome most of them and have learned to cope with the rest.  I feel that you are not really having any major mental health issues.  I feel that you are just having a bit of self respect issues.  Take care to not let this become bigger.  Avoid doing what I did.

I have found that when I go after a project this has worked, especially when it is for someone else whose approval I wish to gain.  I try to become adept and knowledgable about what is needed to see completion.  I have also been willing to admit that when I needed help or additional information.  I seeked out the help of  my superiors.  Most good supervisors have respected me for this. They have been more than please with what I had completed.

I don't know if your are religious but this is what has also worked for me.  I believe that all people don't have a halo hovering around thier heads.  I also believe that the devil, who has is also called the Great Deciever, loves to take advantage of this.  When I feel self-doubts and  feelings of low self respect, I just say a little prayer to myself.  God always has an open line to hear us when we want to talk (pray) to Him.

You are probably a very talented and intelligent individual.  Build on that and try some of my suggestions.  Just like doing physical exercising, it is hard to change the routine that a person may be in.  However, once started, the exercise becomes easier and more benefitial.  They even look forward to more exercising.

God bless you.  Go with the grace of God.
