What do you do when you lose confidence?

Ever had a moment when your confidence is lost in the air?

Your confidence has a habit of disappearing just when you need it most.  When you're making a big decision or when you need to dig deep to follow through.  Or when you want to step out of your comfort zone, or realize that you are way out of your comfort zone and wondering how quickly you can sprint back to it.
What do you do in those moments?  What would help these moments?

Here are some ideas that can help when you lose your confidence.

These thoughts are simply mental events just like any other thought running through your head.  "I have a blue car," "I like eggs" and "I'll just good" are other popular ideas that you can concentrate on.

The problem comes when you think thoughts like "I'm not sure enough" and "I can't do this" and make them your focus.  The first step is to notice the idea and to take a moment to look at this moment, and discard those thoughts.

Remember what it is to be the best.  Remember what it is to be firing on all cylinders and playubg your best game.  Remember what it is to be with friends or family – to be smiling, laughing and enjoying yourself.
Remember what you have accomplished.  Remember that you have tested yourself before and not only you are still here, but you're glad that you tested yourself. and came out stronger 

Remember what is important for you.  Remember what really matters.

The more you focus on things that can go wrong, your confdience gets lower and lower and lets panic set in. When this happens, visualize youself thinking that it's ok to go forward, it's ok to proceed. What image can you create that would help you get back in the saddle? 

You should always be able to make a choice, but only after you have regained your awareness. So what would you do if you knew you were more than capable of dealing with what happened? How would things be different?

What is a decision you can make based on your abilities and opportunities instead of your disabilities?
I have found that when my confidence is leaving me, my thoughts spiral inward.  Around and around and tighter and tighter as they go, leaving me paralyzed and unable to think and move.  A trick I have learned in these situations is to take a step back, and focus on the people around me and what I can offer them.  I focus on what I can do instead of what I can't do.
