Feedback Thoughts

I read the article "Seven Ways to Crush Self-Doubt in Creative Work" . This article was reassuring to read, he introduces the article by talking about his own moments of self doubt which was interesting as it shows how no matter the age or occupation you have that, at some point everyone goes through this insecurity. I was able to relate to this article more than I thought and found myself reading tendencies which I do frequently. 

The first point which he covered was to stop comparing yourself, I find myself doing this a lot and it therefore grows my insecurities and self doubt, I want to strive for this perfection immediately and give myself unrealistic goals to achieve in short time spans. He also covers a point that talks about abandoning perfectionism. A problem which I also do, I strive for this ultimate level that I sometimes abandon what I'm doing because I don't feel like I can accomplish this unrealistic goal that I have set out for myself.

Self destructive words

Continuing on I read an article to Rewire your self-critical brain. I felt as if this article would go hand in hand with some points from the previous one. Knowing that perfectionism and comparing yourself is holding me back but what I needed to tackle know is how to get out of this thinking routine to do with that. To summarize this article talks about the individuals own experiences and how he justifies his failures. You can relate to him in this aspect but at the end he basically talks about how we should congratulate and award ourselves on even the smallest of accomplishments.
