Mindset
And I still wonder, if my mind has this much power over me – if it has the ability to completely alter the way I think about myself, why does it always choose to take me to the darkest sides?
Why is it easier to choose doubt over confidence, or fear of failure over some willingness to take up a challenge? Why does my belief of not being enough, feel a lot more natural than internalizing I actually deserve better? Why does it make more sense that someone at the other end of the room must be judging me, when I never assume anyone’s admiring me instead? Why is jumping to the worst case scenario always so effortless, yet imagining a more favorable turn of events just isn’t?
Why would my mind continue doing all that in the name of protection, when really, that’s the most paralyzing act of defense?
