Mind Universe#85 Overcoming Self-DoubtI know how easy it is to get stuck in your own head, second-guessing everything you do or say. The fear of being wrong, of not being good enough, can quietly shut you down. But you don’t have to be perfect to show up. You don’t have to be certain to take a step forward. In this episode, I talk about self-doubt, the weight of overthinking, and why you deserve to express yourself freely—flaws and all. Let yourself grow. You’re allowed.

2025-03-0622 minMind Universe#80 أنت فريد، لكنك لست وحدكالمشاكل اللي تواجهها اليوم ما كانت ضمن الدروس اللي توقعت أنك تتعلمها. يمكن تحس أنك مختلف عن غيرك، أنك منعزل عن المجتمع، وأن مافي أحد يفهمك فعلًا. كل ما حاولت تشرح مشاكلك، زادت تعقيدًا وصارت أصعب في التفكيك.
لكن في نفس الوقت، لو تبعت الطريق اللي حددوه لك الناس والمجتمع، راح تحس أنك تفقد ذاتك. بين هذا وذاك، في حقيقة مهمة: أنت شخص فريد من نوعك، لكنك لست وحدك في هذه الرحلة. الصعوبات جزء من الحياة، والتحديات اللي تواجهها، رغم خصوصيتها لك، إلا أنها في جوهرها شيء نشترك فيه جميعًا.
استمع، فكر، وخذ ما تحتاجه.

You’re not the catapult. You’re the boulder. Wherever you send your problems, you’ll eventually land there too. And when you do, they won’t be lighter—they’ll be heavier.
In this episode, I talk about the weight of avoiding what needs to be faced, the illusion of ‘later,’ and why the future version of you deserves better than being left with what you don’t want to deal...

But what if you chose a different way? What if you met yourself with kindness instead?
In this episode, I talk about the weight of self-imposed expectations, the negative thoughts that creep in, and why taking care of yourself—truly—isn’t a luxury, but a necessity.

In this short recording, I touch on the subject of having an "Energy Dynamic" between what exhausts you and what energizes you. Clarifying that the first happens naturally while the latter you must bring about yourself. (Sometimes, if you're lucky, what energizes you is present in your life without much effort of your own, but that isn't always the case.) I also highlight that you're likely to get sucked into the things that exhaust you, and you end up abandoning what energizes you.

It's important to recognize that this resistance comes from internal factors, driven by self-criticism and fear of negative outcomes. You may be engaged in a battle within yourself, worrying about your abilities, how others will perceive your efforts, and the potential for failure. These concerns can hold you back from fully embracing the things you desire, creating a cycle of self-doubt.
