🌻5 Little Reminders That Will Help You Feel a Lot Better About YourselfStop searching outside yourself

At your core, you already have everything you need to be successful.

So, when you reinvent yourself, you don’t do it by filling a void. You do it by understanding you are already whole and that you just need to remove the BS layers of your life to be able to see that.

You’re good.

Read through these points and remind yourself.

One Thing About You Sets You Apart From a Ton of People

The fact that you take time out of your day to read self-improvement posts tells me one thing. You’re at least trying. Trust me, I’ve been there. You read all of these self-help posts and they make you feel kinda sorta motivated for a moment then it fades away. So, you do it again, and again, and again.

You’re hoping that one day one of the messages will just land well enough for you to have that spark needed to change your life. It can take a hell of a long time for that to happen. There’s no guarantee that it will happen. But it definitely can happen.

I spent a lot of time mindlessly daydreaming, but I always kept my dreams alive. And at one point in my life, for whatever reason, I followed through. It happens. Keep yours. And know that the mere act of doing so sets you apart. I’ll never knock someone for trying in a world filled with people who don’t try at all.

You Hold The Key To Escaping Your Mental Prison

It’s all in your head.

Nine times out of ten, your worries are overstated. Ten times out of ten, that voice of self-doubt in your head is flat out wrong. Whatever you’re afraid of or whatever holds you back, is almost entirely in your head. And the moment you step into doing those things you’re afraid of, you realize it isn’t so bad after all.

The things you see as your flaws, are just things you see as flaws. Someone else can have those same characteristics and brush them off or even appreciate them. You didn’t have to interpret certain past experiences the way you did. And whatever happened in your past doesn’t have to define you.

You could decide to change the stories you’re telling yourself about your life and about yourself just like that.

Everything You’re Not, Makes You Everything You Are

My life changed for the better when I leaned into the gifts I was given.

I’m not going to sit here and pretend that all gifts are distributed evenly. But, you have to be you, so you have to work with what you’ve been given. The good news? You don’t need an insanely abundant amount of skill or natural talent to create a pretty damn good life. Most skills are learnable. And you’ve been given something. Many things.

You can lean into the gifts you came with naturally and get better at areas you want to improve over time.

Leaning into my gifts first gives me the energy to work on other skills and it makes me more authentic because I’m not trying too hard to be someone or something I’m not. Think of that person I mentioned earlier, the maxed-out version of you. That person has a hell of a lot to offer to the world. And it’s selfish to keep your gifts to yourself.

Our collective self-consciousness keeps us from getting to enjoy what we all could offer to each other.

You Know How to Win Already

We’ve all had flashes of brilliance.

Think about some of those moments in your life. I refuse to believe you’ve lived a life with zero victories. In fact, you have had a bunch of moments where you’ve won, where you’ve done things you’re proud of. But your mind has a tendency to delete your victories and distort your perception.

It helps to take time to think about all the times you’ve won so you can feel motivated to win again but win bigger. What is it that you want in your life? Think about how you can translate your past experiences into fuel.

Remove that thought in your mind that comes up when you face a real challenge. That thought that you’re incapable. Nope, you’re more than capable. You’re a winner. You’ve won. You just need to win again. Not to get esoteric on you, but your DNA is made up of generations of people who somehow made it long enough to pass on their genes. Try living life with the attitude of a generational champion.

You Have Thoughts That Serve You, Follow Them

For all your doubts, you also think you’re pretty awesome, too.

We all bounce back between those emotions, bouts of doubt and bouts of extreme optimism. You already like yourself. You probably just need to like yourself a little bit more so you can do some of the things you want to do, that’s all.

How do you like yourself more?

Continue to remind yourself that you already have everything you need to be successful and that pushing yourself to succeed is just a process of doing things that help you understand that you already have what you need.

You don’t need anyone else or anything else but you.

You definitely don’t need me.

But I’ll be here as long as you need to help you remember.
