It took me years to learn how to overcome regret. If you're letting past mistakes define your present, this is for you:

I used to suffer from social anxiety until my early thirties. Now I’m more confident than ever. Here’s how I destroyed anxiety with Self-Help and Fitness (so you can do the same): For years I suffered from social anxiety and felt uncomfortable in my skin. Have you ever felt this way? New people, unknown situations - left me feeling nervous, uncomfortable. “I`d rather be somewhere else” became a prominent thought. It took years until I got into action. I got tired of suffering and knew something had to change. So went to find solutions… Where? The Self-help industryI became customer number 1 of the self-help industry. A small number of books I read • The Power of Now • Psycho-Cybernetics • Think and Grow Rich • Creative Visualization…they delivered on their promises Which promises? • Fight my inner voice • Boost my confidence • Expand my comfort zone Daily visualizations and affirmations became my best friend and they helped. Ever tried any of the relaxation techniques? Here`s how I did it: Every morning and evening, I would sit on the edge of my bed , closed my eyes, took a few deep breaths and started to visualize the day ahead…..seeing myself doing all the things without resistance, feeling self confident and also at peace with myself. It was shocking to me how much of a change it made….it felt like I had done these things before (which I had in my mind). Me, feeling confident, that was new. On some days I felt a level of confidence I never had before. On other days I was my old self. Off. You know the feeling of being a ball of tension, it is exhausting. I kept looking for other ways of self confidence boosters. My dad was heavily into running back then. I remember sitting in the back of the car, reading trough a book on jogging. How much it increases your life quality, your life expectancy. The usual stuff. But then….I was glued to the book. The author presented study after study on how exercise calms the mind, decreases stress... I was 18 or 19, that was new to me. I was hooked…..the next day I started running in my big ass Basketball boots. What can I say, the beginning felt uncomfortable. Why? Because I started walking and felt like a grandpa escaping from the nursing home. You see, my self consciousness was in full effect. Think of one thing most adults are scared of? Correct, giving presentations…in front of an audience. I was scared of these…. days before. Maybe you can relate. You know that tension building up to the event. But wait, how about doing exercise before? Going for a run before any anxiety-provoking event became my natural remedy. Presentations, dates….you name it. Of course my body changed along the way, which helped me become more self-confident. I realized that exercise is a magic pill. I could not see myself not exercise. As I got older, social anxiety was not too much of a thing anymore…I did not need exercise to be calm, but did I stop exercising? Of course not…and I never will. It was only the beginning. Studying sports and Public health while working as a personal trainer followed. Health became my passion See, if you are struggling in your life, exercise will not always be the answer. At least not the only answer. But I can guarantee one thing: Making exercise part of your identity will change you on the inside and outside. It doesn`t matter what your initial motivation is. Is it a strong body that you want, do you want to be respected by other people or become more self-confident. Maybe you enjoy the motions, the team aspect….whatever it is. Exercise can do all of that for you. Do not make the mistake to believe that it is only about a nice physique, there is so much more to it. • Low energy, exercise • Feel stressed, exercise • Want to live longer, exercise • Want to sleep better, exercise Want……you get the idea. Exercise is one of the greatest boosts you will find.

@mindsetmachine Having honor matters.

Do the right thing, even when no one’s watching. Your character is your legacy. Build it with honor.

@Motivateme247 Realise your own worth, and set boundaries accordingly.

Your worth doesn't decrease based on someone else's inability to see it. Don't settle for being undervalued and unappreciated. Know your worth and surround yourself with people who respect you, appreciate you, and support your growth.

@liftyourmind Having focus is a superpower.

@liftyourmind Discipline is the most important-

@itsdangoldfield We live in the most comfort ever.

most stuff people complain about would've looked like literal magic to their great grandparents.

@RohithKaliyur Details matter!

Taking the time to dive into details almost always pays off massively. Everyone knows the generalities. It's the details and the nuance that pave the way for true opportunity.

@PhilMaerz Self-care is a par of self-improvement.

Self-optimization can become a burden • Everything can be optimized: Your work, your appearance, your health • If you don't constantly improve yourself, is it your own fault? • This leads to a disregard for yourself Self-Care is one answer.

@_Pammy_DS_ Cut of people who don't show respect.

Distance is my new response to disrespect. I don't react, I don't argue, I don’t dive into the drama. I simply remove myself.

@MindTendencies2 Soulmates don't always have to be romantic

Soulmate friendship is a real thing. Your soulmate will befriend you, see you, hear you, understand you, appreciate you, respect you, support you, love you, be honest with you, be loyal to you, grow with you, heal with you, and break dysfunctional relationship patterns with you.

@LAWOFATTRACTlON Gratefulness is the key to happiness.

You don't need to be happy to be grateful, but you need to be grateful to be happy.

@VexKing Healing yourself means healing others

Mood: I'm genuinely sorry some people received a version of me that lacked awareness and was held down by pain. I was hurting, and I shared that hurt with you. Yet, that version of me no longer exists. I've been healing and working on myself. So, respectfully, please let go of that image of me and take me as I am in the present.

@LAWOFATTRACTlON Having positive thoughts influences your life.

You can raise your vibration immediately by thinking of something joyful, singing, being with friends or remembering a happy experience.

@VexKing Trust your intuition

Some people are spiritually literate. They read energy. They can sense true intentions and feelings, despite what’s coming out of someone’s mouth.

@RyanHoliday Struggle now, enjoy later.

When you're lacking motivation, remind yourself: discipline now, freedom later. The labor will pass, and the rewards will last.

@UpSkillYourLife Spreading love is key to happiness.

@mindsetmachine The people who stay with you at your lowest, deserve you at your highest.

At your lowest, you realize a lot.

@mindsetmachine Prove them wrong.

Turn their laughter into your ladder; climb heights they can't even dream of.

@mindsetmachine If it'd be easy, everyone would do it.

The harder the struggle, the more glorious the triumph. What they see as obstacles, see as opportunities.

@AlexHormozi The real work happens when noone's looking

Regular people will never understand just how many times champions practice in private before they perform in public. Once they do, they stop being regular people and become champions too.
