Instagram is packed full of content so much so to the point it can provide all types of entertainment for pretty much anyone till they grow to become sick of it. When it comes to self development it only takes liking a few self help posts before my entire feed gets flooded with influencers who appear to have a firm grip on the whole concept of DIY personal growth.
Recently I stumbled upon a post that did a very good job at illustrating how the thoughts we entertain in our minds really have an influence on the decisions we choose to follow up on. One of the things that I’ve heard frequently that I’m a fan of is: “If you think you can, you’re right, and if you think you can’t, you are right also”. This is what this post did very well at illustrating.
In relevance to this, lately I’ve been allowing the positive thoughts to flood my mind. For some reason the positive thoughts don’t seem to pour as freely as the negative ones, almost as if the positive thoughts are made up of a thicker and more viscous consistency. In truth though I’m a little more clued on than what I’m allowing myself to admit, and the truth is likely to be that I’ve developed an unsavoury taste for negativity. It’s an addiction.
Despite that though this latest change of mine has pushed me to do things that I find uncomfortable, but very rewarding in the end. One of these things is becoming bolder in the practice of sending messages and becoming more frequent in my replies.
My mind was constantly filled with thoughts that discouraged me from reaching out to new people, but now it seems as though I’m finally beginning to make a dent in breaking that bad habit, and building greater relationships with people that I know will grow to value my enthusiasm.
