Doubts

One of the things that prevent us from doing is doubting. There is always that voice inside our head lurking making us second-guess ourselves. No matter how strong we can be, it's something we have to be aware of. 

We doubt because:

  • We don't want to get hurt if something doesn't go the way we want (protection)
  • We don't want to feel ashame or unworthy (worthiness)
  • We do not know how the future's going to unfold (unknown/ future)
  • We fear of not being enough- comparison trap (whole person)
  • We associate the present with prior experiences (past)
When you feel doubt, accept it as a normal emotion. Do not view doubt as a negative feeling you have to get rid of. Do not resist. Accept that you are having doubts, and there are valid reasons why you are feeling like that. Elaborate more on those reasons and balance everything out. It might not be as bad as you think. After you take in time to reflect, let everything out. Slowly begin to doubt your doubts and let them go.

Of course, most of the time, it's easy to doubt rather than having faith in our potential. We have to keep believing in ourselves. Have faith and trust in yourself and the universe.

Consistency

You've got to be consistent in whatever you do. To improve, learn, and be successful, you've got to be committed and consistently do what you must, in order to move in the direction of your dreams. Consistency will determine the value of your determination and how far you will get. Of course, it's not an easy task- to stay focus and not lose faith. Hang in there, 0.1% improvement is always better than zero. Over time it compounds and leads to unexpected results. Be driven by the system, by the action, by what it takes. Persevere and be consistent.

Minimalism

There has been a recent movement towards minimalism, living a minimalistic life. The idea is to reduce consumption, be comfortable with what you have and live a clutter-free life.  Many of us cannot tolerate the idea is living without being surrounded by material things. We feel so comfortable in an environment of accumulation and we fail to see that our belongings are not only taking physical space but also mental space. I was slowly progressing towards clearing my space when I came across the term and it clicked. It was like the word definition to what I was going through. Although I wouldn't call myself a minimalist, I now take more care of my space. I'm more appreciative of what I have and feel less compelled to buy things. I realise material things are not valuable to us unless we are using them. With this in mind, I ask myself if I really need that item, will it bring anything positive to my life? If not, I don't need that item. I make better purchasing choic...
