The awareness of self-doubt

"When you hear a voice within you say 'You cannot paint', then by all means paint, and then that voice will be silenced."

(Vincent Van Gogh)

Van Gogh, despite his immeasurable talent, still experienced self-doubt. Be kind to yourself today and remember that self-doubt is simply part of being human. It only becomes damaging if it prevents you from taking action.

Mindfulness can give us some distance from our feelings of self-doubt.
