I find I am my own worst enemy. Self sabotaging before I even get started. Doubt. The cycles of starting and then quitting jobs or healthy habits.

What are your tricks to get out of your own head?

That doubting voice in your head that tells you why you’ll fail? Ask it back: “is this helping?”

If it doesn’t answer “yes”, tell it to fuck right off and then keep on doing what you’re doing.
