Hello,it has been a while since I posted; due to studies and other extracurricular activities.
Nevertheless, I came across this inspiring article and I decided to share it here.
The Ultimate Guide to Feel Good
Stop Putting Yourself Down
If we had a dollar for every time we put ourselves down, we’d all be millionaires. To be honest, it’s not just you; we’ve all been there. Feeling unattractive, not good enough, demotivated, unworthy, inferior is very common. When we are told we lack in some way, over and over again, we start believing that we are, somehow, ‘less than’.
That’s not true! It’s just a negative enforcement, compelling us to believe that we are flawed and training us to see only our failures.
If you’re in a similar situation, it is time you unlearn old beliefs and retrain yourself to feel good. At first, it will appear unnatural. But, as you change your thoughts, emotions and actions, your mind will follow and your feelings will slowly start to change. You’ll feel awesome about yourself, once again.
First things first, stop putting yourself down, right away.
Redefine Who You Are
How do you define yourself? If you don’t feel good about yourself, a hardworking professional, an average-looking guy, etc. are the probable answers. Believe it or not, it says a lot about the state of your mind and outlook on life. By redefining your identity, you can add to your self-worth.
So next time when someone asks who you are, replace those average adjectives with special ones. Instead of saying a hardworking professional or an average-looking guy, say a contributor, a learner, a great dad/mom, a loyal friend or anything that makes you feel special about yourself. Count your achievements, delete your flaws, and redefine yourself as someone who takes pride in his being.
Conquer Self-Defeating Thoughts
It’s human nature to assess every situation that we encountered in a day and interpret it before we go to sleep. If your interpretations at the end of the day are mostly negative, making you feel like you wasted another day, you need to conquer your inner voice.
Even throughout the day, it’s the little self-talk that we do, which helps us form an opinion about things, people and happenings around us. Your inner voice is a product of your emotions, beliefs, values, and your subconscious and conscious thoughts. Your inner voice, always compelling to stop you from achieving bigger things, is your greatest enemy.
Conquering self-defeating thoughts can be difficult at times as mostly we don’t realize as they take over. Identify negative self-talk as it surfaces, and shut it up! By challenging and intentionally disputing with the negative self, you can alter how you feel about something. For example, when your inner voice tells you, you’re not good enough for something; ask back ‘how about trying?’ Or when it tells you something isn’t possible, ask yourself if your thoughts are factual? And, think of ways to make it happen; but don’t quit.
Remember, the only way to conquer self-defeating thoughts is to replace them with positive and realistic thinking.
