One powerful realization that often comes through meditation is that self-doubt is just that—mental chatter, not an inherent part of you. When you can observe self-doubt as passing through your mind, much like clouds moving across the sky, you gain a sense of separation from it. This creates an opportunity to respond to these thoughts with less intensity. You start to realize that these doubts do not define you and do not have to dictate your actions or self-view. They are simply fleeting thoughts, part of the mind’s tendency to analyze and question, not reflections of your deeper capabilities or potential.
