Not care what other people think (read all 4 entries…)
Untitled 13 months ago

I decided to write out a technique I use when I can’t overcome my mental block about something I want to do. So let me know if it works well for you, I would love to hear about it.

Here it goes… When you find yourself in a spot where you are worried what people may think of you for wearing something silly or whatever it might be. Imagine for a second, yourself in third person, and then mentally separate yourself from everyone else. It gives you the confidence not to care, because you see you are one person, not the star of the show. It should no longer bother you, at the least it should give you the confidence to follow through with you, rather than someone else.

As long as you face it, your good to go and on the right track. You just need to give yourself some perspective before you dive into it. The technique is pretty much a way to rev yourself up before you go for it, and then I suggest the following… If I catch myself for even one second pondering what another may think of me, I immediately remind myself that I don’t have to answer to anyone but myself. I then switch my thoughts to the present, and what I am doing.

You won’t have to do most of this after you get used to doing these things without caring. It will soon be automatic, and you will be free to say and feel as you please without caring one iota about what people may think about you.
