At one point I have talked about my problem with over
thinking things , scaring myself, and then abandoning the original plan because
I created an elephant out of the fly and decided that the obstacles that I am
faced with are immovable. I even put
myself in front of a challenge to not over think things for a month. Let me
tell you, it was very, very hard and I am not sure that I was as successful as
I intended to be at the beginning.
Recently, I embarked on a journey of not only bettering my
mind and body, but also on a journey of developing and growing my business. I
noticed that my habit of over thinking and making my challenges seem larger
than they are is actually putting me behind the curve when it comes to my professional
life as well as when it comes to my athletic abilities.
The only way I know how to combat this irrational fear is to
simply ignore it and push forward despite the sheer terror that I experience
sometimes in the face of difficult circumstances. I wonder how things would be
if I didn't have to expand my energy on relentlessly perusing what I set out to
achieve, if I didn't find myself all but paralyzed by my insecurity so often? Is
there another way to combat self doubt? A better way to stare failure in the
face and not flinch? I don't know. However, I am determined to find out one way
or another. I refuse to be defeated by something that only exists in my
imagination!
