How to stop overthinking and face your fears
4Qtrs Media
A lot of people avoid facing their fears. Overthinking situations is one of the reasons most people have fears and talk themselves out of doing what they desire. Going into something with confidence and owning the room is one way to not be controlled by fear. Fear eventually turns into regret and regret turns into frustration.

A failure doesn’t define who you are as a person. You won’t know if something is for you if you don’t try. You...

info_outlineS1 EP 6: Importance of Saying No
Saying no protects your peace. When you start saying “no” to certain people, their perspective about you changes, and causes conflict. But, consistently telling people “yes” begins a pattern of enabling that is not sustainable; and when things change issues occur. There are different ways to say no. And you should be telling yourself no as well. You can self-sabotage when you don’t know when you should be telling yourself no. Sacrifices for the bigger picture are necessary and accountability should be a priority!
QUOTABLES:
“Know your limits … Don’t allow anyone to abuse your peace.”
“Trust your gut. Block out all the noise. Be confident in your decision. Everyone does not see the seeds you have planted.”
