I was reflecting back during the time I struggled with low self-esteem, depression, and countless setbacks as a result...
And I realized that there are some key differences between how I operated in the past to where I am now.
Most of you already know that having low self-esteem, feeling different, feeling like you don’t fit…. All of this is extremely painful
Before I truly wanted to improve and find out why I struggled with...
Self-doubt
Confidence
Constantly being anxious while trying to interact with others
Putting attention on the negative instead of the positive
Most of these concepts held me back mentally and living a life where I was unable to control my future because lack of confidence, not knowing my potential, and fear dictated how I functioned.
When you spend your time focusing on the negative in your life...
It will affect how you show up and perform on a daily basis.
Instead of focusing on how I could master my self-esteem and find out why it was so low,
I wasted most of my life self-sabotaging myself for having low self-esteem, lack of confidence, feeling different, feeling like I don’t fit in.
When I first discovered the “why”, I was so excited from the rush that I wanted to shout from the mountain tops, but that lasted only a few days.
Because analysis paralysis and shame set in.
So what changed?
I realized through reflection that I wasted a lot of time worrying about my circumstances and the things that were going WRONG in my life instead of taking the time to change myself so I could operate at my fullest potential.
Once I started to focus on “WHY” I wanted to move forward with change.
I started to build more connections, attract more life-changing opportunities, and operate at a different level than I ever expected.
Believe it or not, I even stopped worrying about what others thought about me.
You see, I made an uncomfortable decision to change my mindset.
I decided to push my feelings aside because it only elevated my anxiety, worry, and fear...
& focused more on growth, positivity, and living a life where I feel confident.
When you operate at this level with the correct intentions, not only do you skyrocket in your growth, but you actually achieve your results much faster.
If you want to be a high functioning individual, it's important to realize that not only rewiring your mindset is a MUST if you truly want to make a difference but discover who you really are.
The reason why most people struggle with their self image is simply they focus on fear, anxiety, and self-doubt...
Instead of focusing on their mindset, attitude and taking the action to CHANGE their circumstances.
It has been proven time and time again that taking consistent action and having a positive mindset is what ACTUALLY produces results.
Growth is NOT supposed to be easy.
But would it be worth it to make an uncomfortable decision now, so you can be the high functioning individual you are meant to be?
The person you desire to be is always one decision away!
