    Believe in yourself. Know your abilities and skills. At the very outset, understand from your behavior who you really are. Spend time in isolation and do something for one whole day. Observe your acts. Make a list of answers you get to think over for the question, 'Why am I not good enough?' Doing so, you feel like doing those things which you like the most, especially when nobody is around. This is your true self. List out all the activities you did, being alone, and under no one's surveillance.

    By knowing what you want in life, you easily make out the list of the rest doing which you don't feel good. Now, sit and figure out how you can refrain from those acts. Or if they really play a significant role in your life, how can you train yourself in leading life with them.

    To pull yourself out of the pathetic situation and stay fit and healthy by the mind, you need to pay attention to the below-illustrated techniques and adopt one or more of them.

      1. Partner with progress, not with numbers.

      Focus on your work and how much you progress in life. Don't get carried away chasing around perfection, assuming I'm not good enough. Understand that nothing can ever be perfect. Because perfection itself is limitless. Therefore, try ways in which you can move ahead in life.

      By overcoming the worrying thoughts, and giving up on the feeling of being worthless, the feel-good factor in you, automatically erupts to give your best. When your worries worry you, just give your best in whatever you do and leave the rest.

      The feeling of I'm not good enough is in itself a feeling that hampers your progress in life. Success isn't everything and nor success is ultimate. Success is not even the end of your journey. All the efforts that you invest in, and the entire gamut of activities that drive you towards peace and happiness, is to be packed and taken in your journey. And that is what exactly counts.

        2. Practice self-love without any bias.

        Love yourself to elevate your mood. Don't fall deep within as you face failure or commit a mistake by uttering that I m not good enough. Continue to love all the odds against you. Love your true self, irrespective of the kind of traits, beliefs, and values you inculcate in life.

        Gulp both the good and the bad sides of you. Your thoughts and actions might violate the standards of the people around you. And you might still want to groom so many areas within you. Still, stand by yourself and carefully work towards improving these grey areas.

        Love yourself the way you are. Don't let the thought come in your mind that I'm not good enough. Although you know that you need to change a lot for your own betterment. Care and concern crop up when you master self-love. Because you can feel good from within and act good outside, only when you care for the one in you.

          3. Give up on addictions and feel better instantly.

          You might have one or more addictions in life. Begin to think in giving up on that, rather than thinking I'm not good enough. Try a simple practice. Attempt to give up on that addiction for just 21 days. Start working out on a plan. Write the plan on a piece of paper, and you will instantly feel good.

          When your carvings for addiction bother you, and you calm down your senses instantly by picking up on some other good habit, it benefits you by manifold. Your every single step to moving in the opposite direction of your addiction gives you peace of mind and heart full of happiness.

          You might start a trial to give up on addiction for just 21 days, and then you will realize very soon that on 22nd day, your mind no more thinks about it. This miracle of 21 days fits any kind of behavior. Practice this technique to master anything in life, of course, giving away your negative thoughts like I m not good enough.

            4. Speak to someone and know their health status.

            When your inner voice questions, 'Am I not good enough?' don't feel sad, rather, call up an elderly person whom you spoke with, very long ago. Just telephone and ask how they are, and are there any tips they have to offer you. Have a casual discussion to soothe your mind and thoughts.

            Speak to your loved ones and gift them your time. Cook up a sense of humor to your conversation and divert your mind. Share your thoughts and feelings of the moment and let the other person make fun of them. Both of you share loud laughter.

            Every now and then, you need to check with your mind what it is filled with and how does it react when your mind says, 'Am I not good enough?' Accordingly, spend time to understand the health status of your mind. Speak with it and with the haunting thoughts. Set a timer and flush them off as the stopwatch buzzes. You will now begin to feel a lot better.

            To sum up, understand that to feel good in mind, happy at heart, and healthy by the body, you need to smile in life. Embrace all the problems and opportunities in life with a smile and refrain from the attitude that I'm not good enough. Do not be biased and treat them differently. From problems, you dig out solutions. And from opportunities, you carve out a better you. Realize that no time is good to begin something new.

            The moment you think of something good, just do it, rather than waiting for someone or something. Accept the fact that no matter what, no one can ever be better than anyone else, in all walks of life.
