Have you ever felt like you're not good enough or doubted your abilities at work?

Self-doubt, often known as imposter syndrome, is a common challenge. In fact, studies show that around 70% of people experience imposter syndrome at some point in their lives.

It can cripple your performance and hinder your career mobility. But there are ways to overcome it. One powerful strategy is using documentation and metrics to remind yourself of your achievements and value.

A Psychology Brain Hack: The Power of Positive Reinforcement 

One effective brain hack to overcome self-doubt is the use of positive reinforcement.

• When you document your achievements and review them regularly, you are reinforcing positive thoughts and behaviors.
• This technique, rooted in psychology, helps retrain your brain to focus on your strengths and successes rather than your insecurities.
• By consistently acknowledging your accomplishments, you create a mental habit of recognizing your worth, which can significantly boost your confidence.

How This Works in Practice

• Amy, a software developer, often felt insecure about the quality of her work.
• She started documenting and regularly reviewing her achievements on a Trello board.
• She noted metrics like the number of bugs fixed, time saved through code optimization, and positive feedback from clients.
• Over time, this practice became a habit that transformed her confidence.
• She could clearly see her progress and value, which helped her overcome self-doubt and even secure a leadership role.

How to Make Reviewing Your Wins a Habit or a Game:

1. Set a Regular Review Time: Choose a specific time each week or month to review your documented achievements. Think about times when you’re LEAST likely to have meetings or be interrupted. 
2. Make It Fun: Turn it into a game by rewarding yourself for documenting and reviewing your wins. For instance, reward yourself with a yummy snack or favorite song.
3. Use Visuals: Create a visual representation of your wins, like a progress chart or a “win board” where you can pin your achievements. We created this "wins board" template to save you time. You can download it for FREE and get started today!
