Do You Have Constant Thoughts Like “I Can’t Do This”?
When I was stuck in my business, one thought kept showing up over and over again:
“I can’t do this.”
Every time I set a new goal, my brain found a hundred reasons why others could do it—but not me.
Even when I took action, it came from a place of doubt.
It was half-hearted, fearful, and unsustainable.
And, of course, the results matched that energy—more proof for the thought, “See, you really can’t do this.”
The Truth About “I Can’t Do This”
Here’s what I’ve learned:
“I can’t do this” is not truth—it’s just a thought.
Every entrepreneur, every leader, every successful woman you admire has had this thought at some point.
The difference isn’t that they stopped thinking it.
It’s that they stopped believing it.
The Bridge That Changed Everything
I didn’t try to force a new belief.
I simply softened it.
Instead of saying, “I can’t do this,” I began to think,
“Maybe I can do this.”
That tiny bridge created a huge shift.
My new feeling was determined, not defeated.
From that determination, I took cleaner action—learning, trying, testing, refining.
The results I created began to reflect that determination instead of doubt.
Now my thought is,
“Of course I can do this.”
And even when I fail, I make it mean growth, not proof of inadequacy.
If your brain is constantly whispering “you can’t do this,” it’s time to uncover what’s fueling that self-doubt.
