3 Things you do that makes your mind your worst enemy

The mind is designed to be an object or entity that we control. In order to control your mind, you need to know that you are not your mind. For example, people say I am so angry today. This is wrong, you are supposed to say that I have anger in my mind. This is because you are not your mind, you are the boss over your mind. The mind is like a horse that likes to run wild but you have to tame it with caution and show it that you are the boss otherwise, the mind can become your greatest enemy if you do any of the following:
a.  You are Your Own Worst Critic


Although it’s good be a strict judge of your own character, a huge problem arises when you take it too far by constantly criticizing and finding faults with what you do and who you are. This act will make you reach a necessary level of satisfaction and thus, you will never be truly content with yourself.

If you tend to judge yourself too much, you effectively hold yourself back; if you sell yourself short, you’ll never experience the full value of your potential. Get to know this voice that criticizes you, try to understand where it comes from and why it is that you listen to it. Don’t beat yourself up over every mistake – after all, experience through mistakes is a perfectly sound method of learning. Constantly over-criticizing yourself will hold you back, hamper your confidence, and make you dwell on things that may not even matter.

b. You Doubt Yourself

Self-doubt is, in itself, unwarranted. If you’ve failed at something and ultimately doubt that you can do it, it’ll only prevent you from progressing. Oftentimes, self-doubt may just be an unwillingness to do something.

c. You Assume 
Projecting certain assumptions onto certain situations can be disastrous. Our brain works to fill in the gaps however it can, forming answers on faulty presumptions if necessary. If you assume your spouse is mad at you for something you may have done, it’ll lead you towards developing a defensive stance or counter-attacking when no concern may even be warranted. Don’t assume that someone may be mad because XYZ happened when you’re unaware of ABC. We make this mistake countless times, all because we subconsciously fill in the blanks with answers that are incorrect.
