      You should starting from creating filters to ban bots which trying to impersonalizing you. Because it so funny to see how you talking about billions of dollars and could not do anything with the bots. Who even could believe you if you couldn't clean bot on channel with 3KK subscribers. I have reported more than 10 bots from your channel and you still not able to ban them

    I'm scared of lifting weights at my gym. Yesterday I played around with dumbells and kettlebells (I was shaking) and two "gym bros" just gave me warm smiles when we made eye contact and continued focusing on their own workout like everyone else. It was encouraging, felt like they were saying, you can do it, keep going. NOC!

      That’s amazing! As somebody who used to get picked on for his physique, and is now considerably stronger than anyone of the guys who used to give me crap, just know this. Everyone in the gym is EAGER to help you learn and improve, because they were once in your place. They know what it’s like! So please don’t hesitate to ask for help. It’s a great way to improve, and make some friends along the way

    I understand that the fear of getting started can be overwhelming. However, the first step is often the hardest, and once you take it, the rest becomes easier. Remember that progress, not perfection, is the goal. Break down your tasks into smaller, manageable steps and focus on completing them one by one. Celebrate your small successes along the way, and don't be too hard on yourself when things don't go as planned. You got this!

  • @farukcankaya
    @farukcankaya Год назад +77

    Problems -> solution suggestions:
    - Social disapproval -> Unlike ancient times, diversity is the thing that makes people more powerful than ever before nowadays. Do not hesitate to show up yourself.
    - Spotlight effect -> No one cares: people are not thinking of us, their main focus is their lives.
    - Perfectionism (keeping the bar high) -> Lower the bar to get started until you gain consistency, embrace the crabs e.g. just showed up at the gym.
    - Overthinking -> - Analysis/action should be greater than zero. Means that as long as you produce something and take an action then overthinking is okay. otherwise, thinking is garbage.

    I'm shit scared of posting things on Instagram because I don't think my story is that important or 'influencing' but the spotlight I give to people makes me set the bar as high as them. I'll try to lower the bar and embrace the crap of my doings and raise the bars for the things I'm starting to get the hang of. I love the analogy of the analysis over action, it helped me change my mind on overthinking. Thank you!

    Thanks for this great video Ali, another technique that can help is to force collecting information before analysis.
    Trying to simulate and predict all variables can drop us into the overthinking square, to avoid that it's better to get out to the real world and collect only the variables that are actually relevant.
