Advice On How To Conquer Self Doubt

#Message on #SelfDoubt — Have you ever found yourself inches from the finish line only to start doubting yourself? 😕

I don’t think I can do this…
I might fall short…
I won’t meet expectations…
I could fail… ❔

…Like many people I find myself drowning in self doubt from time to time. One of my biggest vices is asking for help when I need it most …Ms. Independent-I-don’t-need-no-help is my stupid idea of protecting myself but thank goodness for good friends. After sharing my insecurities with a dear friend he was quick to remind me that when we work hard towards any goal best believe the devil will get inside your head and work just as hard to steer you from achieving it, it is best to acknowledge self doubt comes from fear and FEAR IS A LIE/aka the devil. 😈

After marinating is this advice I’m learning to separate the doubt in my mind from the will in my heart. I think this is a common battle many of us can relate too. So I’m sharing, from one friend to another …when self doubt attacks learn to follow & be guided by what’s in your heart and ignore the negative distractions in your head! And! …be sure to smile, YOU GOT THIS! – Lita xox 💪❤👍

After Earth Excerpts

“If we are to survive this you must realize that fear is not real. It is a product of thoughts you create. Danger is very real but fear is a choice. ” – After Earth 👉 #movie 🎬

My anticipation for this movie was at about a 7. With Will & Jaden together (given Pursuit of Happiness was awesome) I had to bump it up to an 8. Buttttt if the excerpts above are a reflection of the dialogue than I’m rating my anticipation at a 9.5! Wait …😑 I hope y’all appreciate the transparency I show exposing my sad & lacking social life 😐 lol 🙊

Forget It, Forgive It

…Forget it, Forgive it…❤

”To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.” – Louis B. Smedes 🙌

“When you choose forgiveness, you commit an act of love to yourself as well as the person you’re forgiving. To forgive is to liberate yourself from the poison of anger and resentment, as well as release the individual who has wronged you from the guilt that may be weighing them down.” 👐

My wish today is that this helps you. Let it go. Love yourself. Look forward. Smile. Create. Lift! 😎 – Lita xox

Less Is More, but a Smile is the exception

I’ve always agreed to less being more, but a smile you can never get enough of. When you share a smile you share a gift of grace. 💕 – Lita

Excellence Over Good

If you stop when you’re satisfied with good you may never know what excellence feels like. Sometimes a little accomplishment distracts us from excellence! 👐

My old track coach once said “the only thing that separates the good to the great is, the great never become complacent, they continue to push the finish line back & test their limits”… Amen!

Although I’m happy with my progress I still have plenty of work to do. Good?! Nahh, I’ll pass – working towards EXCELLENCE! 👍

IT’S NEVER CROWDED ALONG THE EXTRA MILE! 😉 #KeepPushing ✊

I have learned that those that chase money are nowhere near as happy as those that case SUCCESS! 😉

“Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you too, can become great. When you are seeking to bring big plans to fruition, it is important with whom you regularly associate. Hang out with friends who are like-minded and who are also designing purpose-filled lives. Similarly be that kind of a friend for your friends.” – Mark Twain.

EMBRACE YOUR BODY, YOUR SHAPE & YOUR BEAUTY

My mother said… You’re thick, you’re solid & you are beautiful, stop dieting and just redefine what a healthy body looks! (and if we had this conversation in person she probably would have smacked me on the back of the head too haha) …man, I love this woman!

The point my mother was making has more to do with health, dieting in moderation and not trying to fit into a cookie cutter mould that society is labelling as ‘healthy’ or ‘beautiful’ …For me however I’ve made a choice to be a Figure competitor so my specific goals require a specific diet/training …for a Samoan mother, this is difficult to understand, lol. She’s more concerned that her daughter is simply healthy and not in the kitchen weighing all her food like a mad scientist. 😂

But this conversation got me to thinking 💡—

Many of you, myself included are following people on IG for motivation & inspiration. This is all wonderful but never should we become overly obsessed with trying to mould ourselves into mirroring a body ‘type’ that is not our own! Reaching your own personal goals is an amazing thing, owning your beauty, taking control of your health, being comfort in your own skin is an incredibly thing! 😊

To all women, of all shapes and sizes – EMBRACE YOUR BODY, YOUR SHAPE & YOUR BEAUTY – after all, we are all unique and perfectly created. – Lita ❤
