Negative thoughts and how to overcome


“Our mind is like a garden.If we plant good seeds flowers will grow .If left unattended, it will be weeds and bugs”.

Negative thoughts

You are not good enough.You are ugly.Nobody likes you.You will certainly fail, why try.You are not worthy enough to be friends with good people.You are too thin.You are a menace and a shame to your family.You are a loser.


These are some of the negative thoughts that come to mind when one is about to meet new people or start something new.The origin of this voice of negativity lies not in your past failures but in your fears -fear to own situations, fear to get hurt, fear to fail, fear to grow.This is because you are too comfortably stuck in known zones of utter comfort.

How negative thoughts affect us
  • We stay stuck
  • We stay small
  • We do not take action
  • We do not love ourselves
  • We hide and run from positive change
  • We end up having distorted self image
  • We take easy way out
  • We avoid things,situations and people who challenge us
  •  

How to overcome
  • Decide to change
  • Grow your self worth
  • Own your fears
  • Start the process in small steps daily

Insecure Boss Syndrome and how to deal

Hello everybody, This is my first post today and I thought i'd start with a super-common yet extremely important topic-an asshole /insecure boss . We spend a large part of our lives at the workplace and are often plagued with horrible managers.Also, it is extremely unfortunate that we do not choose our managers but they are assigned to us. A good manager can lead to motivation, growth, skill improvement and promotions while a bad one can create unhappiness, tears, emotional pain, anger and frustration. Lets first delve into the characterstics of an insecure manager: Micromanages Does not trust you Does not stand up for employees in front of clients Is overtly critical Requires updates every 5 minutes Cannot appreciate good work Feels threatened by employees who are better than him Creates and fuels team politics Plays favorites Openly insults employees Uses control as a means to feel secure Creates artificial sense of urgency Is never at peace The most im...
