Here are some helpful strategies I learned today from the book “The Making of Manager” on how to deal with anxiety, stress & self-doubt as a software engineer.

1. Recall that everyone struggles and that is normal & fine, i.e it’s not only you.
2. Don’t punish yourself twice by not only worrying about the issue you are facing, but also why are you worrying? “am I smart enough?”
3. Visualize better scenarios in your head
   • Remember/Visualize a scenario in details where you did a great thing. What happened & how people reacted & what they said.
   • Visualize a good story.
4. Discuss the matter with people you trust.
