This is Philo. I met him at the park. He says he deals with rejection by knowing that he is inherently worthy. He has self-love for himself. He knows his worth. By guiding his self-worth through compassion he is able to brush off rejection. He does not rely on outside sources to create his worth, he goes from within to create it. @team_pachamama

Leah stated that she overcomes self-doubt by becoming aware of our Ego.🌞
That part of our brain strictly seeks to keep us in our comfort zone.

It’s our inner critic, the voice that tells us not to try because we’ll never make it.
It isn’t the truth. Once we become aware that the negative thoughts are just the Ego trying to keep us safe, or in our version of “normal”, we can separate it from our truth.
Our truth is what our heart is calling us to do, before the Ego thoughts shut it down.
Practice following your heart, telling the Ego to screw off, and you’ll start overcoming self-doubt. ❤️

Are you aware when you’re experiencing unhealthy self-doubt? 🤷🏼‍♀️ How do you overcome it?

In a society that values the extraordinary, it’s way more common for self-doubt to become a chronic state. When it does, we often begin to “stand in our own way” and have a hard time seeing that there are also good things about ourselves. This is unhealthy self-doubt.

Truthly, it’s difficult for myself to maintain motivation when I am in the state of self-doubt. My unhealthy ego hijacks the way I see myself. It makes me feel that I will never achieve my goals, that I don’t have any good talents, nor worthy enough for my position or partner. The small failures began to justify my unworthiness. But this only occurs when I feed into these thoughts.

Throughout the week I will share my/others perspective on how we overcome unhealthy self-doubt. ☀️

Begin where you are ~
Use what you have ~
Do what you can ~

Getting caught up in the idea that you’ll start once you obtain that “thing” then you’ll began – will hold you back.
Use the resources that are right in front of you. If all you have is a string and a rock figure out how to use that string and rock to build you.
And do what you can – don’t be so hard on yourself. There is no such thing as perfect. Though through time and practice you do began to build the skill.

There’s a huge amount of suffering that is generated not by the actual challenges of life but by the fictitious problems that the mind generates. @eckharttolle⛰️

I catch myself experiencing this with my romantic relationship. I have seen people cheat on their partners and I have been cheated on as well. So the fear that my current romantic partner will cheat on me appears in my thoughts. But that is my mind and my ego trying to protect me but it is creating a story that is not true with my current relationship. This only happens sometimes and it happens typically when I am feeling insecure with myself and my relationship. When my ego comes in and tries to create this story to scare me away; which then creates fictitious problems and then I take it out on my partner. I’ve learned to identify a fictitious problem versus an actual challenge by observing my thoughts & triggers.

Adapt to the situation to get the best situation. ☀️

You either accept it or change the situation. There is a lot in life that we can’t control. Those situations that you can’t control why not accept it and release yourself from resistance.
