Thank you for writing this! Going to work on implementing some of the advice at Nonlinear.
I’d add lovingkindness meditation to the list of possible intervention points, too. That’s been working wonders for me. Charlie wrote a good post on it here.
The biggest trick for me has been to practice lovingkindness on general recurring issues where I feel insecure. For example, sending acceptance and kindness to myself for: my inbox, my to do list, looming deadlines, difficult tasks, responsibilities I feel anxiety around, etc.
Also, the general structure of lovingkindness practice (generate emotion, apply to target) can be used for pretty much any emotion (e.g. motivation, confidence, etc), and I’ve been having a lot of success there. Will be writing up what I’ve found so far soon.
