You know those recurring whispers of self-doubt? It’s 2021, and it’s time to terminate them. Self-doubt has never served me, but does it ever serve anyone? I am confident and capable, so why are false thoughts telling me otherwise during the heat of a moment? I know I’m not alone in this we’re only human.
But this year I’m serious about setting this mental tone. For me, it’s about time wasted and energy tainted by these silly little loops of false thought. Once I come to my senses and realize my truth, it always leads me back to certainty. How I analyze my thoughts can range from journal entries to meditation to simply going for a walk. Recognizing the falsity of the thought when it comes is the first step of training yourself to be more confident, and this year I am on guard and ready to strike them down.
