Do you ever feel like you get in the way of your own success? Or in the way of yourself reaching the goals you are working on?
You are not alone.
I was having one of those Sundays where I felt sort of edgy and anxious heading back into the week and decided to sit down and do some journaling. I wrote a letter to myself, from my future self. I was writing it with my future goals in mind.
I generally consider myself to be positive thinking and generally believe in myself, but what I noticed was that there’s this little voice in the back of my head…
“I’m not quite measuring up”
“Maybe there’s a better way to do this”
“I should have done that differently”
I noticed, through this process, that this constant drain of the worry and the doubt holds me back from actually reaching my goals.
