Many of us work from home entrepreneurs spend much of our day alone in our own little world.

Doubts about our effectiveness and even bouts of minor depression are bound to happen once in a while.

How we deal with these periods “of the blues” determines our capacity to prosper at our chosen line of work.

Working towards a gentle and stable state of mind involves many steps. Among them is taking time to reflect on where we have come from and how we got to where we are now. Was your previous place in you environment within your “comfort zone”?

Often people have doubts because they are moving or have moved from something familiar in their life. Uncertainty can trigger doubts but life is a constant change. You should understand the source of your doubts and try not to let doubts get in the way of a stable mindset.

With change, there are always pros and cons of the prior lifestyle versus the current. It helps to examine your new situation and look at the positive and negative aspects. It will help to write down the pros and cons of each situation. Examine the pro list and compare that with your doubts.

Seeking feedback from friends, colleagues and family members always helps, without paying a counselor to listen. People who know you and people who work with you are always the best sounding boards. Tell them your doubts. Their honest feedback could help you to determine how real or how imaginary your doubts really are.

Finally, imagine a worst case scenario that is the result your recent lifestyle change. What could go wrong. Ask yourself how likely is this to happen. Would you be unable to handle the results?

Often our imagined fears are far worse than reality.
