Tricking Yourself Into Doing Tasks That Make You Nervous

tricking yourself into doing tasks that make you nervous

you know the situations. when you get wrapped up overthinking and suddenly, this seemingly easy task seems horrible and daunting. here are some tips to help you trick your brain into completing the action.

visualise success. imagine how good it will feel once the task is completed. this can boost your motivation and reduce anxiety.

pair the task with an enjoyable activity - for example listening to your favourite music or having a nice cup of coffee while working.

promise yourself a reward for completing the task. it could be something small like a treat or a break to do something you enjoy.

tell yourself that you're just excited. you're challenging yourself. this positive gaslighting will help you feel more positive about your nervous energy.

Hi there, really like your page. So soft vibes.

Nice to find you here. I am INFJ too.

thank you angel 💕 have a nice day

whenever you feel like you're not doing enough, remember all the little healthy habits you've successfully incorporated into your routine and remember that good things happen little by little.

OKAY but why paperwork for students it's SO STRESSFUL? i'm literally a 19yo girl, no one tells me what to do and when i ask they treat me so bad like i'm stupid? i mean– sorry if i don't know what these damn acronyms means. can someone please make this easier or at least give me some damn instructions ??

so useful 💞 everyone needs to read this

signs of self-sabotage, a.k.a. inner red flags 🚩 (and my tips to fix them!)

🚩 you set up unmanageably big goals and short deadlines for yourself. (the fix: set up daily, small goals that are in accordance to your skills and possibilities instead of your desires.)

🚩 you beat yourself up whenever something goes wrong, and label yourself as a failure. (the fix: understand that the path of progress demands mistakes so that you can learn, adjust and level up, and that the only way you can fail is by stopping your work.)

🚩 you're constantly comparing yourself to the people around you, and expecting their opinion on you. (the fix: playing the protagonist role in your life doesn't mean performing for an audience, it means writing your own story for yourself. nobody is watching over you, unless you're inviting their gaze, and most people will try to bring you down rather than lift you up because they themselves are insecure and lost. you're risking placing your self-worth in the hands of losers.)

🚩 you complain about your life all the time. (the fix: you're alive, which means you're in charge of the endless project that is you. complaining is just self-pity, and your "poor me" mentality is an excuse you use to not put in effort and hard work.)

your life is your responsibility. your life doesn't "happen" to you, you're in charge whether you like it or not. if you're unsatisfied with your life, it's up to you to find out what you need to do to change it!

be willing to reinvent yourself
