I woke up this morning with this other question I use when I over-complicate things. I decided to call it the "what's the point on doing this, anyway?" therapy. When you work on an illustration (but it can apply to anything in life), wrote down what we are really asking from you. Working on a children's book? The objective is to deliver in you style 15 spreads that support a story (define the story). Period. When you have self-doubt during a project, return to your main objective. Are you filling this main objective? Yes. So, everything is fine.
When I was a kid, my mom was calming my anxiety crisis (I was a really anxious child and was always overthinking everything) with this question: what's the worst that can happen? The usual answer was: not much. I still ask me this question when I'm unsure about something.
