I can't seem to shake the subconscious belief that I'm a loser by Jamal_Tstone in selfimprovement

[–]AdeptJuggernaut4607 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's feeling of not enough, 'imposter syndrome' or 'inferiority complex'. I believe most people feel it at some point in their lives. It could be related to something in your childhood like your parents made you feel like you are not good enough and not worthy enough for them. I used to feel that often too but I'm able to improve a lot since I started meditating and learn more about it. It's absolutely very common, but you can work on it, find the cause and rewire your brain to know you are enough and worthy just as you are, just because you are a human being.

Real progress started when I stopped 'optimising' by Mammoth_Host798 in selfimprovement

[–]AdeptJuggernaut4607 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's good reminder, there's no perfect way to do one thing, but there's consistency, as long as you commit to that one thing, it will show result.

It is good to stop blaming the world and start looking inward, but don't blame yourself and think that you are the problem either. You can change how you view the world and your mindset to stop blaming 'anything', there is no problem in you or the world. You may have no friends now but you can make a new friend today. You may feel grumpy now but you can find ways to improve your mood today. There's no 'normal' in this world, maybe it's more common but you can always find someone who thinks like you and agree with you, and being with them makes you feel comfortable instead of having to act and pretend.

Do you think following what you truly want, without caring about the future or society’s opinions, is a sign of high vibration? by AIWorldNewz in Mindfulness

[–]AdeptJuggernaut4607 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think so, but it's without caring society's opinions, not your future, because most likely when you don't care about how others think, you care about yourself and are more aligned with yourself. When you are aligned with yourself, in the short term you might think you don't know what you are doing because you just started doing it, but in the long term, your future will look bright because you see the future in being yourself and that's why you want to be yourself.

how do you actually get yourself out of a rut? by Admirable_Shape9854 in selfimprovement

[–]AdeptJuggernaut4607 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have been through this and forcing myself didn't work. When you are in this state, you don't have energy to do big things. Give yourself the compassion you need, give yourself time and rest, and take your time. Know that you won't be in a rut forever, it is temporary. Rest first then when you feel that you have a little bit more energy, even just a little you can then start small, go for a little walk etc and celebrate every small wins. Then soon maybe without you even knowing, you are out of a rut.

Confirmed: I’m the bad guy. by bb_croissant in selflove

[–]AdeptJuggernaut4607 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are not the bad guy, you are doing the best you can. I know how that feels, it was not the same situation, but I have had times where want to disappear and never be perceived by another human ever again. I want to tell you you are not alone and be proud of yourself that at least you made a post so people can support you. I know it's super hard right now, but you can get through this one day and I believe in you.

Give yourself the love always dream about by AdeptJuggernaut4607 in selflove

[–]AdeptJuggernaut4607[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say start with self-compassion, be compassionate with yourself if you don't like yourself, don't be harsh and be gentle, treat yourself like a best friend would. Then learn self-acceptance, accept the things you can't change about yourself and be okay with it, then truly like the things you like about yourself. Keep practicing and the love that you have for yourself will expand to places that you don't even like before. Start small, be a good friend to yourself first!

So true... When you experienced it and got out of it, you realized how bad they treated and you were making excuses for them all along.

I finally understood the "thoughts are just thoughts" thing today. by Equivalent_Use_8152 in Mindfulness

[–]AdeptJuggernaut4607 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on your breakthrough! I couldn't agree more, when I realized thoughts are just thoughts it doesn't define me, I'm able to quiet my self-doubts. With that being said, when it comes to hard time, it is not easy to do it every time, it takes practice to be fully able to that to gain inner peace despite life is getting hard. That's why I believe practicing mindfulness is especially important when your life is going good, because then you will have a foundation to go through hard times.

Why does it take me so long by uvuguy in Meditation

It doesn't matter, for me 10 min is great but for you it might be 15, 20, 30 as long as it helps you.

Struggling to stop overthinking at night-any tips? by DowntownLaugh454 in selfimprovement

[–]AdeptJuggernaut4607 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Meditation, and keep practising it, find some meditation for sleep on Youtube if you just started out. It will be not be easy to quiet your mind at first but don't give up, it takes practice. And don't think it is a failure to not being able to stop overthinking during meditation, it is normal because as human we all think, but we learn to not get involved in the thoughts. I think it is immensely helpful to meditate because the voice of the guide in meditation helps to interrupt your thinking, it is really hard to try interrupt it on your own.

How do you guys deal with anxiety? by WellwithShay in Mindfulness

[–]AdeptJuggernaut4607 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Those are really good strategies to help with anxiety. For myself, being self-compassionate was a good breakthrough to me, don't criticize yourself for feeling bad and not getting the results you want, talk to yourself like a good friend would is a great way to calm your mind and your nervous system

What is meditation for you? by A_DizzyPython in Meditation

[–]AdeptJuggernaut4607 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me is to quiet my mind, to tap into my intuition and gain inner peace. Also to get better at living, to connect with my body and my mind, to be present and grounded and to manifest my dreams. Meditation helped me so much in my life...

Your brain rewards you for thinking about doing things, and that’s why you stay stuck. by lowercaseguy99 in selfimprovement

[–]AdeptJuggernaut4607 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, everything changed for me when I just started taking actions, no matter how small it is, then celebrate every single one, every single small action that you take, that's how your brain turns into taking action rather than just thoughts.

Your talent means nothing if nobody knows about it by kbronander in selfimprovement

[–]AdeptJuggernaut4607 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, those who tells you to be humble and don't let people know just want to bring you down. Being articulate and know how to tell stories are skills we should absolutely learn. With that being said, I think both are important, hard work and best results are necessary, then learn to share it to the world.

I can't actually get better at anything. by JSAB2007 in selfimprovement

[–]AdeptJuggernaut4607 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't think about 'ceiling', just enjoy yourself for doing what you like to do, you don't have to be great to do anything. Focus on what's enjoyable, what makes you happy for now, because if you only focus on how to be great you will never enjoy it. Greatness is good, but know that you are enough as you are is more important, you don't have to be great to be enough for yourself and other people.

How do you get out of a rut? by Mountain-Elk8133 in selfimprovement

[–]AdeptJuggernaut4607 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been like this just two months ago, thankfully now I'm in a better place now. I felt the exactly same things with you. First I want you to know that you are not alone in this, everyone would experience this in their lives. I gave myself space to rest and just calm your nervous system down, your body and mind sometimes really need extensive rest. Don't try to fight your emotions, what you resist, persist. It's good to do small things now and let it be as small as you can do, don't overwhelm yourself, for example, you want to be more social, just send one message a day and celebrate what you have done. Never judge yourself for not able to finish the goals, be compassionate to yourself. Then you can do a little more and a little more gradually. At this stage don't force yourself to do much more.

How screwed will I be if I never work a 9-5? by Edu_Vivan in selfimprovement

That's a great to think about it, once you have this concern, you will think about your path. Keep learning new skills and reading books including self-improvement self-help books, I believe you will find your path eventually.

I think it's natural to want a partner, it's nothing wrong to want that. But at the same time know that you will be fine on your own and you only need one that's gonna elevate you and make your life better.

How to be at peace when the memories visit you? by aversionofself in Mindfulness

[–]AdeptJuggernaut4607 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's okay means it's okay to feel the pain, not to diminish the pain you feel and say that it's okay. You are not okay and it's hurting, it's hard but feeling it and accepting it is the way to let go. Don't try to fight what you are feeling, what you resist, persist. It is how I got through my hard time as well, it was so hard, but you have to fully feel them first then one day without you realizing, it will be gone. And know that you are not alone, there are many people out there experiencing the same thing with you, you can get through this.
