“I want to try, but I can’t.” “I’ve tried, but it doesn’t work.” “Despite my attempts, I still cannot make it happen.” “Despite my best efforts, it seems I am unable to achieve my goal.”

That’s happened to you before? Have you ever been in a similar situation?

Unless you can honestly act on what you think, it may not be so easy. Taking thought-out action is the key to making progress.

There are restrictions on “action” , there are “things that mustn’t be done,” and there are also things you can’t “do” in terms of your ability.

This is similar to a car that is restricted from going over a certain speed limit in order to protect the driver’s safety. Even if the driver wants to drive faster, the speed limit is in place to keep them from going beyond their capabilities.

Most of the time, we’re “acting” while balancing these constraints.

It’s weird how those “constraints” are so strict and often stifle our own actions, hindering our lives and work.

It’s usually a “psychological constraint”, sometimes called a “mental block”.

Mental blocks are thought to be caused by a person’s negative beliefs or attitudes about themselves or a particular task. These beliefs can prevent a person from taking action or solving a problem.

” Self-denial” is discounting oneself, like thinking that something is what you want, but you’re unworthy of getting it. This type of thinking can lead to feelings of guilt, shame and anxiety. It can also diminish one’s self-esteem and undermine their ability to take risks and make decisions that could lead to success.

Behind this is often “perfectionism” or “black and white thinking”. This type of thinking leads people to believe that something must be done perfectly or not at all – that there is no middle ground.

When you’re about to do something, and you’re discouraged by what you’re doing, what kind of “murmurs” do you hear in your head? For instance, someone with perfectionism might hear “If I can’t do it perfectly, why bother doing it at all?”

It’s like deciding whether to wear recently purchased clothes immediately or store them as manure.

When you buy clothes, you think you’re buying them with positive thoughts.

As an example, you bought a dress with a positive feeling in your heart.

When you take it home and wear it to work, don’t you think it’s a waste?

and…

By choosing not to wear new clothes this way, you’re probably maintaining a sense of self-denial.

An act like this indicates the “worthless self.” It is a feeling that they are not valuable or worthwhile, and this lack of self-worth can manifest in many ways, such as choosing not to wear new clothes or other similar acts of self-denial.

It’s okay to “listen to your heart” without losing out on “discount tweets

Take the time to think about what you’re going to do. When you take the time to consciously think about what you’re going to do, you’re more likely to follow through on the decisions you make. This helps you to stay true to your values and to stay focused on your goals, rather than allowing yourself to be swayed by external pressures or “discount tweets”.

Let’s focus on recognizing reasonable value instead of discount tweets.
