If obsessing over the gap between where you are now and where you want to go next is getting in the way of forward movement, change your focus.
I propose an alternative, one I often go to when self doubt kicks in and I catch myself thinking I’m out of my league.
Consider how the following questions might help you re-frame your situation:• How did you get here?
- What challenges did you face to get to where you’re at now?
- How did you prepare, anticipate, and mitigate these challenges?
- Which of your strengths, resources, skills, connections, habits, etc. help you overcome these challenges? (it helps to list these for a refresher)• How will these assets play a part in your new journey?
P.S. I just finished my 1st week of a 14-week intensive coding bootcamp. Everything I’m writing here feels very real at this moment.
