Reworking the self-doubt days!
--
Take a seat/place where you find yourself most comfortable. Filter out all the noise from the ambience, close the doors or play a piece of soothing music. Relax and enjoy the read.
Quick snapshot to all the googled and recommended hacks -
- Believe and do consistency.
- Declutter and organize your space. (includes your wardrobe, work desk, bed, and many more)
- Throw compliments out like confetti.
- No one is thinking about you as much as you think they are.
- Cut toxic people out.
- Sleep well, take a cold shower, exercise, drink water a lot, don't skip meals, and minus the junks.
- Read more often. (if you are a beginner, try one book/month)
- Travel as much as possible.
- Get to know/ meet one person at least a day. (can be virtual and frequency depends totally on your free hours.)
- Listen to good music.
- Meditate and increase the duration every week.
Now, apart from these, here is something which also helped me.
It’s a simple process and as the name (process) suggests, it may take time. So put some patience in your bag before going on this journey.
- Pen down your entire day.
Good or bad, big or small, whatever, go as detailed as possible and let the moments flow through your words; make it a good old yellow storybook page and smell all those short stories that you are a part of and living as multiple characters every day.
Pro tip: Use pen and paper.
- Identify the strength/s at the end of each story.
Note down the strengths or the things where you did beyond average; where you felt at ease; or where things went hard but you didn’t give up.
It can be the simplest possible task like waking up after the golden hours in the morning to a tiresome task like extended office work timings.
Every day, muster up every possible positive from the stories and every week, try to find a pattern where things are going wrong. These are places where you need to pull up some courage and improve.
- Maintain and analyze the chart
This will bring all the metrics on the table like where you are good at and areas that need improvement. Create a chart covering all those metrics and keep a check on it for consistent improvement.
