tricking yourself into doing tasks that make you nervous
you know the situations. when you get wrapped up overthinking and suddenly, this seemingly easy task seems horrible and daunting. here are some tips to help you trick your brain into completing the action.
visualise success. imagine how good it will feel once the task is completed. this can boost your motivation and reduce anxiety.
pair the task with an enjoyable activity - for example listening to your favourite music or having a nice cup of coffee while working.
promise yourself a reward for completing the task. it could be something small like a treat or a break to do something you enjoy.
tell yourself that you're just excited. you're challenging yourself. this positive gaslighting will help you feel more positive about your nervous energy.

guys idk what you think about hindu culture, but we think healthy fat, rolls, thighs touching and full breasts and thighs as auspicious. not beautiful by the way, auspicious. we think it is godly. we think it is lucky.
please, if any of you are struggling with your weight, looks, height or whatever, always remember that some culture, somewhere out there believes that that is pretty. that you are what is lucky.
