How To Stop Spending Time In Your Head
Start Focusing On Your Strengths
Imperfection is the crux of being human. We all have things we don’t like about ourselves, our job, our country, and the world at large. But time and again, every great stoic from Marcus Aurelius to Ryan Holliday has shown us that suffering doesn’t arise from our imperfections but from the wrongful attachments, we place on them. We can learn to channel our focus on our strengths, and at the same time, accept that imperfections are a part of life. One great way you can change your mindset is to realise that it is much better to love than hating yourself. Start recognising yourself for the strengths you have, accept that you have imperfections, work on any if you can, and ignore the imperfections you cannot control.Get Comfortable With Failure

Start embracing your humanity today by taking steps that will enhance your life even though they may have the potential of failure.

When you start caring more about things that add purpose to your life, you’re less likely to be bothered about less important matters, especially when they go wrong.
