The road to self discovery can be very challenging. There are a lot of factors to take into consideration, which include: anxiety,eliminating self-defeating behaviors, and finding your purpose. I have found out that the best way to start on the road to self discovery is to identify your fears and what triggers your anxiety. Once that is identified attack them! Yes, I said, attack them! Fear will hold you back from what you are destined to do. It is important to master fear and use it as power.
Now, here is a step to do so. Gradually expose yourself to what causes you anxiety. Don't over do it! For example, let's say you fear reading out loud. The first step would be to read to yourself daily. Getting use to the sound of your voice will help alleviate the initial anxiety. Some people feel that their voices sound dumb. Unfortunately, unless you have surgery or choose to speak in a different voice, which would most likely make you read worst, your voice isn't going to change. Addressing your anxieties or fears head on instead of running from them will improve your confidence. Running from fear and/or trying to find temporary coping mechanisms will make them worst. Trust me I have tried and failed miserably lol. But, keep fighting, because it is worth it! Make it to your promise land!
