Stick your middle finger to your “self doubt”. Just do it. Take immediate action! And watch your pitiful “self doubt” evaporate.

Self doubt is a habit. We are good at self doubt because we have been practicing self doubt in the past. What we practice a lot of we become good at.
It feels intellectually and emotionally easier to simply think the same thoughts and do the same things. When we keep the old patterns, why are we shocked that we get the same old results.
I would assume that anyone who is 100% blissed out by their status quo are very lucky to be 100% satisfied that they will be happy getting the same results and logically by repeating what they have been thinking and doing would repeat the satisfied state. They probably don’t need to investigate this further.
For the rest of us who want to change for the better, we logically need to do some tweaking.
It’s a good starting point to accept that we can develop our infinite potential by doing some inner work. Doing something with our thoughts.
I for one am now accepting that my limiting thoughts and beliefs are what are getting in my way. Because of my own limiting thoughts, I have been scared of stepping outside my box into the unfamiliar (meaning anything new and untried), and so it goes on endlessly being played out all the negative noises in my own head. That is, until I realised that I was the one getting in my own way!
We don’t realise we internally create our own limitations and allow our own negative programming to run unquestioned.
In short, we are experts at creating and selling to ourselves self doubt. We set up mental and emotional roadblocks like there is no tomorrow.
Guess what folks, I have no remedy for these. But I have discovered a simple way of sticking my middle finger to all my own self doubts and road blocks. That is, “Just do it!”
The moment we take “ACTION”. Self doubt takes a back seat.
The moment we take action, I feel the euphoria of getting out of my own way, seeing my self doubts and negative self talk shrink, feeling progress, and feeling that I am doing something I truly want and yes, fulfilment and peace.
Well, that’s how I started writing this daily blog. I am still at it and sticking my middle finger to my self doubt!
Folks, shut down your thinking right now, and “just do it!”
