Day 24: A Lesson I've Learned

This was kind of an easy one for me. It's not a lesson one would automatically think of someone writing about, but it's something I've always struggled with and only recently have started to change about myself. That is the lesson of...

Don't be underrating of myself.

I've ALWAYS struggled with second guessing myself or thinking I'm not qualified to do something even though I've been well trained and I know I can do it. I'm sure a lot of people out there are guilty of feeling this way, but we can't! I have no idea where I got this from, but ever since Vet Tech school and getting my first job as a CVT this mentality stuck with me like glue.

It's only recently in my work that I've started to change and be more confident in myself. It will always be something I need to work on, but the first step is acknowledging that it's happening.

If confidence is something you struggle with, don't hold it back! I did for a long time and it didn't get me anywhere. It made me shy in my work and second guess myself all the time, which didn't look good to the doctors and honestly made me mess up even more!

Confidence is beauty and makes us strong! I know it's scary to put yourself out there and hard to get people to trust you, but it's something we must overcome.
