Loserthink

Loserthink talks about the sabotaging thinking habits that run our minds and paralyze us when it comes to taking charge of life, and how we can overcome them with small, incremental steps that drive powerful change.

There is a lot of unproductive thinking that goes on in the world. Most of us fall victim to it at one time or another. The first step in dealing with this problem is recognizing that we are not victims and that there are certain habits we can change if we want to stop being so negative.

Have you ever wondered why certain people always look so well put-together, so content, and professional? Well, they might be wondering the same about other people! The truth is, we’re all putting up a show.

Successful people, like anybody else, have gaps in their knowledge, moments where they doubt themselves, and deal with the impostor syndrome at times. However, they don’t let these negative thoughts take charge of who they are.

Naturally, the decision we draw is that we won’t engage in new and exciting situations, due to past failures. Another negative thinking cycle we engage in is thinking that big projects are exhausting or undoable, which is why we never start them. However, psychology suggests that this is yet another brain mechanism that we use to stay in our comfort zone. If we break down big projects into micro-steps, the chances of achieving the end goal grow significantly. Why? Because as humans, our readiness to start working on small, achievable projects is much bigger than if we’re facing a huge objective. So, next time you have a bigger goal to target, think of it as a series of small projects with a deadline. You can use this approach to any project, big or small. Whether you’re trying to wake up earlier or open up a small start-up, this trick will…
