Here’s What You Can Do When You Feel Incapable Of Doing Anything

Sometimes things just don’t end well.

You try and try and try, and, in the end, you still end up failing.

Your failures lead to negative experiences and your mind uses these experiences of proof that you are incapable.

You begin to doubt yourself, which then starts a cycle of self-defeat.

Self-fulfilling prophecies for failure begin, which lead you to believe that you really are incapable, and from there your confirmation bias tries to uphold that belief while cognitive dissonance keeps any proof of the opposite outside your conscious mind.

In the end, you know you are incapable of doing anything at all.

First of all; It isn’t the whole truth.

Sure, you have probably failed at some point, but that does not mean that you are incapable.

You were incapable of doing what you set out to do, at that particular time, in that specific way.

Your failure was in that one moment.

That one moment is not a reflection of who you are.

It’s your mind emphasizing certain experiences over others, but both exist.
