Breathe.

Your anxiety is lying to you.

Everything’s going to be ok.

Don’t allow your fears or overthinking to hold you back.

"Meditation for those who think they can't meditate"

| Thread
The first thing is the mindset towards meditation. There's a specific image that people have in their heads.

The sitting upright, cross legged on the floor image with absolutely no thoughts in your head is what people think meditation is.
It is meditation, but it's pretty advanced, & not good for beginners.
Number one, to meditate upright, u need perfect posture, which isn't going to be possible for the average person.
Ppl who do sports or some other athletic activity could sit like this, but not the layman.

"If you sometimes feel you have low self confidence, read this"

Thread
Confidence is not ‘they will like me’.

Confidence is ‘I’ll be fine if they don’t’.
If you know who you really are, what you are capable of and where you headed to, you’ll never seek for validation.

1. Know Your Goals

It’s much easier to make decisions when you're abundantly clear on:

- What you’re trying to achieve.

- Why you’re trying to achieve it.

- & how you plan on achieving it.
2. Don’t Rush, Take Your Time

Try not to rush into making a big decision that comes your way.

Follow your deadlines but if you need more time to meet them ask for it. Be sure you are not procrastinating.
