Are YOU afraid?
That thing you& #39;ve been putting off for a while...
Is it result of that fear? Or maybe it& #39;s impostor syndrome?
Self-Doubt, insecurity, fear, impostor syndrome, overthinking...
We all go through it
Here& #39;s a way that has helped me deal with it

Not so long ago, I was reading the 4-hour work-week by @tferriss (had never read it before, I know, crazy lol)
I came across this exercise that has helped me with the issues above
Take out your notepad and pen and do this yourself while you read this. (I& #39;m serious, do it)

Write down the following on the piece of paper
1 - What is my worst-case scenario? What& #39;s the worse that could happen If I go do the thing I& #39;ve been putting off all this time?
2 - What steps do I need to take to fix my current situation and what& #39;s bothering me?

3 - What are the positive outcomes that could come out of this thing that I& #39;ve been putting off for a while?
4 - What am I avoiding doing out of fear?
5 - What is it costing me? (physically, mentally, bank account wise, doesn& #39;t matter)
6 - What am I waiting for?

I want you to give a deep thought about all of these questions one by one and write down your answer
Just vomit everything down to the paper
I think you& #39;ll realize that the thing you& #39;ve been fearing doing is really not a big deal

By writing it down and putting it down on paper, it is no longer stuck inside your head
This is the biggest problem with a lot of people
They try to solve the problem in their head, but they forget that their mind has their own biases

When you write it down, you give structure to your thoughts
What previously seemed impossible and unreasonable, now doesn& #39;t sound so bad after all, because you gave it life

Another thing that helps me is to "meditate"
The word is so overused these days that I don& #39;t like to use it
It creates internal friction because you do it because "you have to"
Here& #39;s a better approach
Sit down with your back straight and do nothing for 30 minutes

And whatever happens, happens
They also talk about integrating your "shadow"
I also don& #39;t like that concept.
Honestly, the "shadow" to me sounds more like "Your internal best friend that makes you do dumb shit when you ignore/neglect it"
Talk with him

Talk with him
Create a healthy dialogue inside your own head
Listen to your inner self and what it has to say and share your troubles with him as well
It& #39;s important
Too often we don& #39;t stop to listen to ourselves and give ourselves a break off external stimuli

If you want to keep your mind healthy you need to start putting more effort into this
Vomit your thoughts unto paper
Establish a better relationship and communicate with your inner self
If you do these two, you& #39;ll notice it will become a lot easier to stop doing dumb shit

And not only that you also stop getting in your own way
Too often I see people not doing the things they know they want to do because they get caught up in mental negative feedback loops
The only way to stop is to attack the problem at its root, the mind
