EIP and Max learning, achieving some goals

[mat422]

Hola Mat,

You have a pretty good ability of self-reflection as you realize accurately how you act and react emotionally and psychologically. Came around to notice a clear pattern in your wording and described attitudes though, that may hold the hidden key to unlock one door on your path to find your true power.

You often use the wording 'have to' or 'should do' and additionally depict that perfectionism is holding you back at times. Anxiety while doing something comes along. Fear of failure and a few others.

Producing music is what you aim for (Great goal btw!), thus you want to be perfect in undertaking this awesome adventure. But perfectionistic demands lead often to fear of failure which leads to some procrastination which leads to self-criticism which leads to anxiety and depression which leads to the loss of confidence which leads to a greater fear of failure which leads to stronger need to use procrastination as a temporary escape which leads to ... you get the picture.

I see this pattern because I stumbled upon this book. It opened my eyes and I do not intent to let anyone else suffer from this shit any longer if I can help it. Please consider giving it a try.

Kick 'have to' from your list of words and replace it with 'I choose to'. This is where the magic starts.


Spread power with words.

Thanks Raz. You're completely right about the perfectionism. I've been battling with it for a while now. I'll definitely check out that book. I really do need relief from this perfectionism. I can power through the procrastination feelings, but it takes tremendous willpower and eventually I get way too worn out.
