I'm tired of taking myself so seriously

Your harshest critic lives in the space between your face and your pillow: your big, beautiful brain. It controls all of your innate emotions, fears, and doubts.

We can't help thinking what we think and it's no use in pretending that we do know. There's something that keeps us from resisting our urges or totally forgoing them.

How come I can talk myself down from posting a blog post or a video and in the same breadth wolf down like 5 chocolates. I think the difference is in the Emotional Return on Investment (EROI).

Here's a breakdown: I'll invest 20-30 minutes on a reeeally good heartfelt post, be super confident in it and then totally talk myself down from hitting send. The chocolate, I'll think about it for 2-3 seconds, unwrap it in 1 second, and devour it immediately. Boom, instantly happy.

I've been taking myself so seriously and I need to stop doubting who I am and what I love to make. I have amazing skills that I've fostered and I continue to doubt myself. I am better at this than I am willing to recognize and it's time to have some fun.

Stop looking to others for approval or admiration, focus on your own happiness, and create whatever the fuck you want to create.
