Do you ever feel inclined to do something but can’t follow through?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are you putting too much thought into what other people think about your art or craft? Then this post is for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Often at times, when we start doing something we are passionate about, the focus is inward meaning we are acting upon how we feel about a certain thing. However, as soon as we gain a following or an audience, this focus tends to shift outward where we start thinking how other people would respond to our work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don’t get me wrong, there is no harm in receiving feedback, but this should be done once you are done presenting what you think would add value to the world. Now there are many ways how to go about it:
1-Notice how your energy changes when you speak about something that excites you. This particular thing stands out for you and you really want to work on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2- Focus what you’re focusing on. Is it the number of likes and comments or is the satisfaction that you are deriving from adding value in another person’s life?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3- Accept the fact that there will always be criticism even if you are putting out the best work available in this world. So why not invest in something that you truly care about?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Self-worth<\/strong> is a widely misunderstood concept. It should be defined by how you and only you perceive yourself. It is a static view of oneself that is unconditional and must not change on a day to day basis as circumstances take a different turn in your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unfortunately, we have started to confuse our self-worth with how others view us, especially with the advent of social media. Everything we do today is measured by how others respond to it. From the number of likes and comments we get on our pictures to how others view our capabilities, we find ourselves constantly trying to pander to their likings and bringing ourselves down when we miss the mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But have you thought, who has put them in charge of your life? Who has allowed them to take control over how you feel about yourself? Remember self-worth is an internal state of being and it stays protected as long as it remains within you. It\u2019s time you snatched that power right back and took charge. Here\u2019s what has worked for me and I hope does for you too:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Table of Contents<\/p>\n![\"FIXING](\"https:\/\/reasonstolivefor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/20210108_144140-1024x639.jpg\")
