Pod Spam | Spamming the Blockchain one Episode at a Time.

For this week's episode, I talked about Perfectionism and how we can handle it as content creators. Now I know it is hard to be your own critique thus it is nice if you can give yourself a pat on the back once you are done with your content.

On a side note when I recorded this podcast, I wasn't able to prepare for a script and I just realized that there's no word such as perfectionalism. The correct word is perfectionism. I realized that when I was creating the title for the blog, wherein after the editing part. 

Since I cannot edit it anymore I just leave it as it is.

A rainy Wednesday to everyone and I hope that you are well, safe, and dry. For today's episode, we talk about ways to overcome self-doubt. 

There will always be a point in our lives wherein we will be asking ourselves if we are doing enough. I mean, you may be wondering "kaya ba today?" 

Self-doubt is a feeling of being uncertain about ourselves. More often it attacks our confidence and we tend to curve in our shells. Some will relate that introversion is equal to self-doubt but there are introverts that have full confidence in the field that they are in so that already nullifies such claims.

Speaking of self-doubt - before releasing this blog and podcast I always have this mental battle wherein I talk to myself asking " Who am I to share stuff about personal development? Empowerment to others where in fact I also struggle to such?"  But I still did it, because #1 if I will not be creating such content then I will not be getting any money on the side ( Sa totoo lang tayo) then # 2 Is I actually have some listeners already that leaves wonderful comments on my contents. 

According to what I have read, one of the factors that affect self-doubt is trauma and experiences from childhood and sometimes with concerns about attachments. 

A child that was raised by parents that supports them and were natured well without any judgment tends to do well and have very little chance of self-doubts. Versus children being told by the primary caregiver that they are not good and their efforts are not enough.  

Have you experienced such remarks before when growing up? It doesn't matter if it is from your parents or other people.

Our Mistakes in the past sometimes haunt us.

More often we just shrug off the experiences that we have in the past but not the tragic ones. Bad experiences always leave a bad taste in everyone so as our confidence. Imagine yourself stuttering in a report that you had prepared for days when you are studying at school. Your classmates laugh at you get ridiculed for how you speak and how you mess up. 

These such instances create a mental scar in someone's life wherein hinders the growth and if there's a chance to report again more often than not you will just volunteer to write everything in the manila paper or just hold the props but never - ever again try to speak in front. ( True experience yarn?) 

No normal person will be immune to doubting oneself ( unless you are a narcissist ) and now we are going to talk about how we can get the best stuff still while we are doubting.

Doubt Your Doubts. 

Will you believe if I tell you that self-doubts are something that our mind processed to protect us rather than harm? However, such doubts start to take a toll in our lives and we are eaten by the fear of trying new stuff. Always remember these doubts are not the truth and probably these are the scenarios that were played in our minds multiple times until these become our shackles to accept what we are capable of. 

Ask yourself rather than doubt what if I am thinking the opposite? 

What is your biggest "why"?

Start whatever you have right now. 

Welcome to Pod Spam - Spamming the Blockchain one episode at a time. This is your host @tpkidkai and for today's episode, we will talk about How to Stop Comparing Yourself to Others? 

> Envy comes from people's ignorance of, or lack of belief in, their own gifts.  - Jean Vanier

Have you ever caught yourself in a scenario wherein you compare your life and the lives of others to yourself? I think this has been common for some and I myself isn't free for such a habit. 

We sometimes compare stuff like finances, successful relationships, houses, and even social media reach especially us content creators.  We wonder are we doing enough? Is there something wrong?

In most cases, after digging into the rabbit hole our mindset and self-esteem tend to go down beyond saving. We stop and produce a ton of pessimistic remarks on ourselves. Sometimes we bad-mouth other people in our minds. Knowing that it is "safe" because no one's listening except yourself.

So how can we fix this? I am using we because I still experience such and currently working on it. 

Today I will be sharing some tips that at the very least helped me to minimize myself on comparing others. 

Going back to the first quote from Jean Vanier at times we tend to belittle our strengths, what we are capable of, so let's start writing down at least things that you love about yourself. This stuff is what you can always brag on. Sometimes we are afraid to show off our strengths because we are afraid to be judged but we can always still be humble and recognize that we are good at something. 

An example would be I love helping out people. If there's something within my capabilities I would always invest my time to be available because I know that it takes courage to ask for help from others and I myself received a lot of help from other people too. 

Be mindful and avoid the one that triggers the comparison wheel.

What triggers you? Is it your friend's social media account? In this day of age, the majority of the triggers are social media posts wherein someone is posting that they are "living the life" that you want to have. 

Have you considered the word "unfollow" / "unfriend" or even "block" at times?  I am guilty of such before. I always think that "unfollowing" and "unfriending" someone on social media is something dangerous and can create a gap with the person but now I find it easy cause I understood that most of them do not even notice that I did it. Maybe because I have a very low social media presence and seldom use the platform lately. Welp, I really don't know. 

Because Facebook knows that I am interacting with the people that I am envious of. Its algorithm plays a joke on me daily and I get notifications that add more to the trigger. Thus I decided to unfollow and unfriend some to further avoid the damages.

Compare yourself to yourself. 

Rather than comparing yourself to other folks why not compare yourself to yourself?

Lastly, be grateful. 

As we tend to see what we lack at times have you ever tried to look at some good things that you have in life instead? I know it is hard, especially nowadays that it is a challenge to find good stuff happening in our lives but take time to appreciate things you have. Try to develop peace in your life and be content with what you have today. Still continue with building your goal celebrate success and failures and hope to achieve better results in the coming days.

Welcome to Pod Spam. Spamming the Blockchain one Episode at a Time. This is your host @tpkidkai for today's content we will talk about why it is hard to start at something.

May it be blogging, learning a new hobby, and exercising more often than not we tend to stop for a while. Ponder and then forget about the plan. 

We tend to act within our comfort zone. Each time that we try to do something that is not within the normal program that we have, our brain will send signals to either delay the process or stop it. Also when we are in our comfort zone, we feel safe and no one's gonna harm us in that space.

We also emphasize the idea that everything should be perfect on the first try. We are more scared to look like a fool if we fail in our attempts.  

At times when we think about expectations, we give 2 expectations. The first one is our own expectation about our work and the second is how the world expects something from us.  When we plan, more often than not our expectation is equaled to the world expectation but truth be told, the world isn't expecting that much from us especially you are new no one will even care perhaps. 

We are also distracted about the end product, we can only see the struggles that we may face while doing it, the reception of other people, and positive feedback from them. When we start especially on the creative side we are allowing people to criticize our work maybe they wouldn't like what they read, saw, or heard we always focus on the negatives. 

Now how can we fix this? 

Start small. I would always remember the plan of getting fit by going to a gym. Never happened for the past years however, I am trying to do some basic exercise like running and walking now. As you try to build a habit you will be able to do more in the future. According to what I read, before you can create a habit you need to do it for 21 days straight, and to further evolve to a lifestyle you need to do it for 90 days. One great example that I can use is my manga reading at times I will find myself typing the manga website on my phone each time that I am not doing anything. Been reading manga for more than years and I think I already built a lifestyle because of that.  

Jot down your plans on a piece of paper. Categorize which is important that needs to have a deadline and which are the ones that are just there because they are there. 

Allow yourself to be a beginner that learns the ropes of everything.

Lastly, try to enjoy everything and let go of your fears. You don't want to have regrets in the future saying "what if I tried doing such right?"

Conclusion: 

Doing something that is not within our sphere is truly frightening however, we need such to grow if you fail at least you tried. In that way when you start over again you will have the experience to do more amazing things in life.  You have to start with what you have and what you know. 

I believe in you, you are doing great each day!
