Well, the good news is that you're at the end of your industry vs. inferiority stage. That tends to be when we feel most insecure about ourselves. Moving into your identity phase next also presents many challenges for self-esteem.
The exercise I give my clients is to write down all your strengths, skills, and accomplishments. This reminds you of you abilities. The other side of the paper is your short and long term goals. This gives you direction. Keep adding or changing it as time goes on. Include social and relationships goals as well.
Footnote: If you are interested in Erikson's psychosocial stages(identity) try his book: "Childhood and Society" is one of the best works in the field. GOOD LUCK
