Alright, this is gonna be great! Alright, guys. So this week, I wanted to talk about something that is constantly plaguing me almost every minute of every day of my life. Okay, that's a bit of an over exaggeration, but it happens every day and it's just something I deal with regularly and I wanted to share so that maybe if any of you are dealing with something similar, it might be helpful. And so the big beast that I have been waiting to name is Self-Doubt and it is a big, ugly monster. And I don't know if I struggle with this a lot because I have interesting short-term memory. We'll just put it that way. And so sometimes, you know, I literally cannot remember if I've done something or not. And so, you know, there are situations where, like, example, Self-Doubt is like, I won't be sure if I did something or not, even if like I did it already. Like, maybe I think I left and I'm like, did I lock the door? Even though I always lock the door, I definitely lock the door, I lock the door, then I'm going to be like thinking about, I can't remember locking the door, did I lock the door, did I lock the door, did I lock the door, did I lock the door, and the rest of the door, and the day I'm thinking about, did I lock the dang door? And that's like, Self-Doubt. Or in a work setting, and this is where it gets me more and anything because I just, this perfectionism, I just want to get things right, I just want to be a good employee and I want to be good at work and my job. And so, you know, it's like each and every email, like if I am emailing someone or a client, like, after I hit the send button, I always have this initial, like, gut feeling of panic, like, you didn't proofread enough or you sent a wrong person or did you just hit delete and send or did you just like, there's always something when I send an email, especially if it's an important email to a client or someone or just, I just like have this moment where I have to go back and relook at it after I've sent it to make sure it was right, even though I made sure it was right before I sent it, like, I probably looked at it like a hundred times before I sent it. And then I still, after I've already sent it and it's too late, have to go back to the send folder and look at it again to make sure it's still right. You know, it's frustrating and see, that's where I'm at now and that's an improvement because where I was before would be I wouldn't be able to hit send on the email because I was just so paralyzed, I would get it, like, like, terrified, like, that misuse of the word paralyzed, terrified, that I would get it wrong. You know, I would just get, oh, I guess, stuck. I would just get stuck, you know, right before hitting the send button and I would just be like, I can't send it, I can't send it, I gotta read again, I gotta get it. And it's like, no, eventually you just have to say, tell yourself, it's all okay and send anyway. Even when you have that feeling like something's still wrong, something's still wrong. You just have to push past it because otherwise you'll never act. It's kind of a similar thing I realized, like, when I'm doing something creative or art, it just never is good enough. I always find something to dislike and to hate about my own art. So I had to get to a point where I could just say, okay, this is reasonable. I just need to stop and just stop. Because there's always, I could always find something else wrong. And so it's just kind of finding that piece and that balance with yourself because if you are just too much of a perfectionist, you will never, like, finish any project because you will never be able to find a stopping point. And it's detrimental. And I had a lot of issues with this, especially in school. And sometimes I just, you know, with certain like homework projects, I just wouldn't even turn them in. Yeah. So, you know, this really was a thing for my, a long time in my life. And I guess it's still a thing now, it's just a different thing now. It's getting better, I'm working on it. But those are, that's just my thoughts, my, my revealing truth about self-doubt. And you know, I get the same thing at the end of every video, like I've shot a video and I feel like it's probably garbage and I go back and watch it and I'm like, okay, it makes sense. And then I post the video and then after I publish it, I'm like, it's this crap video, nobody, you know, it's nuts. And then I just, I don't know. I just, until something has been confirmed otherwise that I assume it's probably not that good. It's, I don't know why. That's just a pattern of thinking that I'm trying to make better. Anyway, guys, let me know your thoughts. Do you kind of get stuck in this kind of a loop sometimes? What are your strategies most importantly for dealing with kind of a bit of a destructive thought pattern? How do you get yourself out of it? Thank you guys so much.
