Welcome back lovelies! I hope you all had a fab Christmas and New Year! Last week, I decided to join twitter (follow me! My username is @emtreadwell) where I came across this tweet. Now this tweet consisted of the dreaded words 'what if' and my immediate thought was 'do it'.
When I saw this post on twitter, my first thought was go for it! You have absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain. This tweet was from @Abbeygaillittle (check her out here and subscribe to her youtube!), follow me on Twitter here!
'What if' is a common branch off of overthinking. We analyze WAY TOO MUCH ….often over stuff that isn’t even important enough to warrant a second thought, let alone an all day “obsession session”. When we do analyze and question, in our minds it always turns out BAD! Every single time. We never ask the question “What if?”, and then give ourselves a positive answer. For example: “What if I get to work and I am not able to give my presentation without my nerves showing?” How are we going to respond to ourselves? A. It will be okay. I will get through it. I will just keep a sense of humor and remind myself that I know what I am talking about and am very competent. or B. It will be the worst ever. I will look like a complete fool. I can only imagine what they will say when I leave the room. I will die of embarrassment and I just know they are going to start looking for somebody to replace me. Then what? What if I can’t find another job? Its not like I will be given a good reference. What if I can’t pay my bills? What if I can’t feed the kids? etc., etc. I mean, let’s be honest here. I think we all know that option B is where our minds are going to go. It’s always worst case scenario: “What if this happens?” “Well then, obviously, my world will fall apart and then my sanity will probably follow.” We go straight to catastrophe every time. Once we get to the catastrophe part, we don’t move past that. There is no planning what we will do when the catastrophe strikes. There is no pep talk, telling ourselves that we will get through it. Nope, we just start the cycle over and go straight back to “What if?”‘ing again. We get stuck in this loop, and it is this pattern…this habit of thinking that is a HUGE contributor to panic disorders/anxiety disorders. Now I'm not saying you should just give up, not by any means. What I'm trying to say is that if it's important to you then go for it! Keep striving forward, improving and growing. Achieve your dream! Don't let the possible thought of failure put you off. You might fail, there's a small chance of that happening, but there's an even bigger chance of you failing if you constantly think you're going to fail. You got this! That's all for today! I hoped you enjoyed reading this! Thank you for the love and support recently, don't forget to subscribe! See you soon, Em x
