For the last few months, I have been
dealing with a lot of stress around my final exams of my undergraduate
degree. A lot of this stress is not
sourced from the exams themselves, but more of the “What comes after them?”
question. What I chose to do is to put my thoughts down and express how I feel
about this state I am in. In my head, I
believe that there are many of you that may be going through the same thing, so
I decided to share how I deal with this situation – I say to myself:
You can and you will!
The road will be hard as hell (like now), the view may not always look
promising, and the people you meet may act like total assholes, but it is
possible to conquer that battle you’re dealing with right now.
As long as you keep pushing!
Self-doubt is an unavoidable enemy of the mind, something we have each
endured during times of both triumph and failure.
Conquering self-doubt takes time; it’s no easy task and requires persistence.
I wish I had the magic answer, a cure for decompressing the stress and ambiguity
– like Xanax, but the truth is I’ve had to learn how to own it.
What comes naturally to us as humans is to feel down after we take a
hit. However what I found is that the best way to deal with it is to own the
struggle, the heartache, the mistakes, so you can focus on the mission at hand.
Self-doubt is laced with insecurity, and to be honest that’s a normal thing to
experience in life, we just have to be comfortable with questioning our ability
to achieve goals. Question everything, and believe that no matter the outcome
there is a lesson to be learned. You have to fight to make shit happen in life,
if it were all easy we would never find value in obtaining what we’re seeking.
Conquering the battle of self-doubt starts with the acceptance of life’s
ambiguity. When we accept and embrace the unknown we open the door for
opportunity. Defining our future starts with being unafraid to take grasp of
the situation at hand.
Have faith in the actions you take toward
accomplishing your dreams, they’re worth
it, and believing in yourself is the first step.
