A few weeks ago I wrote about life changing subjects to consider incorporating into ourselves this year in the blog post It is a New Year. The eighth key action step is working on “Removing Gossip, Negative Thoughts and Self- Doubt from daily life”.
Removing Gossip, Negative Thoughts and Self-Doubt:
Start With Creating Peace, Love and Joy. When I ask this question: What do you really want in life? People have expressed all they really want in their lives is peace and love. How do you find peace and love in your life? I believe before you can have peace, joy and love in your life. You should reflect peace and love within yourself.
How do you reflect peace? By realizing, yes, you have made some mistakes and those mistakes sometimes follow you. Everyone makes mistakes and it is time to let go of that baggage which loads you down and forgive yourself. Once you learn to love and respect yourself your heart will open to receive love from others. You will begin to treat others with love and kindness and love and kindness will circle back to you. Peace and calmness will come into your life as well as those around you. Walking away from gossip and speaking bad about others will improve your relationships and discontinue negative thought patterns.
How to Halt Negative Thought Patterns:
To stop those negative thoughts about yourself and others. Begin by obtaining a small journal and writing down all your good qualities and the good qualities of people around you. Make a list of the good qualities you want to reflect in your life. Anytime you start to feel the self-doubt or negative thoughts. Pull out that small journal and reflect on those words you written and read them. Perform this exercise to open your heart to receive love and peace within.
Being Confident and Removing Self-Doubt:
Back in January of 2014 I had created this poll.
The number one reason was Self-Doubt or Confidence.
Why do you think Self-Doubt or Confidence was number one?
Why are people afraid to pursue their dreams or aspirations? Isn’t it better to go after your dreams? Absolutely! Have a plan, it will take time and perseverance. I recall sometime back I had read an article which discussed when people were close to dying they wished they took more chances and didn’t worry about what others thought of them.
Can you imagine how many happy and satisfied people there would be in this world, if they pursued their goals and dreams?
How do you live the life you imagined?
Start with creating an action plan. Ask yourself the following questions:
- What do you really want in your life?
- What do you need in your life to accomplish it?
- What steps will you take?
- What may prevent you from achieving it?
- How will you move past those obstacles and achieve what you want?
Right now! The life you’re leading:
- Is it acceptable or satisfying to you?
- Is there something more you want?
- Can you imagine how different your life would be if you followed these steps to accomplish the life you imagined?
Self-doubt hinders you. Be passionate, persistent, patient and flexible. Keep moving forward. It will happen! Life is an adventure where are you taking yours? – Patti
