Hey seeker5 and Rose,
After re-reading what I wrote, I realized it sounds a bit 'snooty'. My apologies!
I guess what I'm really trying to say is that in my case, (I understand different strategies work for different people) I found it more productive to come up with what I choose to believe about myself and what I'm capable of and implement it, rather than let any past mis-guided beliefs, whatever they were or where they came from, stop me. I think I saved myself a lot of time and energy. I understand that not everyone benefits from this method. |
