Sometimes when there’s a lot of self doubt it’s not really feasible for me to carefully dismantle all of my inaccurate thoughts. This is where I find cognitive diffusionhelpful- just separating myself from my thoughts, so rather than saying ‘I don’t know enough’ I say ‘I’m having the thought that I don’t know enough.’ I don’t have to believe or argue with the thought, I can just acknowledge it and return to what I’m doing.
