Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I’ve had those moments where I absolutely delivered when it counted, but I treat them like lucky accidents
• Even when something goes really well I brush it off as luck or good timing, so the win never actually counts toward believing in myself
• No matter how much I’ve actually pulled off, the second I face something new my mind goes blank on every success and floods with the times I fell short
• When something doesn’t land the way I hoped, I write the whole thing off as a failure and myself along with it
• Something good happens and my first move is to hand the credit away
