Confidence is all about task completion

Its not about how many task you begin, but how many you finish from beginning to END

Condition your behavior that way

Finishing a small task is better than leaving 10 big tasks opened

Close loops & watch the confidence radiate like FIRE

☆Opened loop thoughts = Anxiety

☆Closed loop thoughts = Confidence

Understand this principle & your life will change...

What is your anxiety made up of?

'Um... like a lot of what if situations.'

What are what if situations?

'Uh...idk.'

Let me explain

'What if' moments typically happen for a:

1. Past situation
2. Future situation

1 influences 2.

You got a lot of skeletons in your closet.

A lot of moments that you haven't made peace with

You go thru experiences, but never learn from them

Pain - introspection = Bitterness & fear

Pain + introspection = Wisdom & hope

You haven't closed the loops of your past.

So its turning your naturally wild mind, into a beast that is difficult to tame.

'What do I do?'

You learn via introspection.

'How come more people don't introspect if that's what will build confidence?'

Plenty of reasons:

☆They don't wanna go thru short term pain for long term results.

☆Introspection requires conscious effort.

☆Low awareness etc.

Learning HOW to think is much more important than learning WHAT to think.

That's why people who were raised in the school of hard knocks typically rise up no matter which environment

They learned HOW to think

They can adapt

You gotta realize this:

☆You are the product of your nervous system & past experiences...for now.

The nervous system is what processes data from the outside world to design your perceptions for you.

The past creates conditions & rules for the nervous system.

So the past has a strong influence on your future.

Unless you do something about it...

'What do I do about it??'

You control the present to hack the system

I get it, it's not easy to rewire thinking.

Controlling the mind is very difficult.

People think learning to meditate is easy, but it isn't.

Most people who start, quit.

'So what do I do?'

You take action.

Teach your intangible mind to close loops by closing loops in the tangible world.

This is where Task Completion beats Task Creation

External motivation or shame can cause you to pick up a lot of tasks.

You'll want to:

Learn to diet
Pick up meditation
Start a blog
Socialize with everyone
Pick up a hobby

You're creating a lot of tasks.

But ask yourself If you're completing it?

Finish the tasks.

Condition your mind one rep at a time.

And when you are beginning a task, that is ALL that exists.

Finish it from beginning to end.

So if you started a blog, then you know a few things required are:

1. Keyword research.
2. Content creation.
3. Editing.
4. Add pictures.
5. Add links.
6. SEO optimize.
7. Publish.

Do steps 1-7 without any interruption.

'No phone or responding back to emails?'

Correct.

Identify the core steps of your task & do it till completion.

Don't start a blog & leave it on draft.

Task completion is a form of meditation.

And it allows you to rewire your perception

Start of light & condition your mind.

You'll realize most of the game comes down to not checking your phone when you're about to hit flow.

It's no coincidence that anxiety is on the rise once smartphones went on the rise.

It's because people begin a task, break the loop with their phones & lose focus

When you have momentum behind a task, KEEP it.

Micro moments of momentum leads spills over to all parts of your life.

Whatever task you do, try your best to close the loops.

There will be times that you take an L & get distracted.

All good

Make yourself aware & do better next time

Your subconscious mind doesn't remember how many times you fell.

It remembers how many times you rose back up. As cliche as it sounds.

Getting back up requires conscious effort. A lot of feelings...

And those feelings play a big role in your future

Whether you're aware or not

Finishing one small task seems like a small thing...

But nah.

The PRINCIPLE is what matters.

You're reconditioning new rules for your nervous system.

Break it down if you have to.

But set the intention to close loops.

Beginning to end champ.

☆its easier to take action into a new form of thinking rather than thinking your way to a new form of thinking

Leverage the mindset of a doer.

The self image will rewire.

And confidence will be in your present & future.
