@aliabdaal: One thing that has really helped me in my life is understanding that thoughts, feelings, and actions don't have to be linked. Here's how this perspective can empower you: 1. Thoughts vs. Actions: You might think, “I shouldn’t make YouTube videos because people will laugh at me,” or feel embarrassment before hitting "record." But those thoughts and feelings don’t need to dictate your actions. You can still create and share 📷 2. Daily Responsibilities: Even when I dreaded going to work as a doctor, on Monday mornings and waking up at 6:30am, I still drove to the hospital 🚗. The thoughts and feelings of reluctance didn’t stop me from taking action. 3. Challenge Your Narratives: Often, we create stories that link our feelings to inaction. For example, feeling embarrassed about posting on social media🤳🏼can lead to the belief that we shouldn't do it. In reality, those feelings will pass, and you’ll likely find that nothing bad happens. Remember, you have the power to choose your actions regardless of your feelings. Recognising this can drastically change the way you do things in your everyday life ✨ By the way, if you want to improve your focus, you can join my completely free 7-day email course all about the science of focus with evidence-based techniques to improve your productivity 🚀 The link for the Focus Crash Course is in my bi0 :)
