Dealing with Self Doubt

My mantra this week:

Prove you are who you say you are with Action.

I fucking hate Imposter Syndrome.

The feeling that you’re not enough.

The feeling that you don’t deserve the life you have.

The feeling that no matter what - you are inadequate.

But I have a way of dealing with it.

This is something I’ve learned from Alex Hormozi.

The best way to deal with feelings of self-doubt and fraudulence is showing the actions that prove you are who you say you are.

Feel like you’re not progressing in fitness?

Look at your body 6 months ago. Look at your lifts 6 months ago. Look at your diet 6 months ago.

Feel like you’re a shitty writer?

Look at the fact you spend 30 minutes a day writing. Look at how you research. Look at your speech.

The best way to disprove self-doubt is action.

Not affirmations.

Not bullshit “rituals”.

But by doing.

📺 What I’m Watching - Why Revolutions Fail

As ya’ll know - I LOVE Fantasy, Sci-Fi, and Dystopian literature.

A common theme among these texts is Revolution.

We’ve seen many revolutions in real life.

And in fiction.

And here’s a video explaining why most fail.
