Lately, I've been struggling with self-doubt and overthinking, which is impacting my productivity and relationships. As a Type 6, I often find myself stuck in worst-case scenarios. I'm looking for resources or tools that can help me build more confidence and trust in myself. Books, apps, or any practices that have worked for you would be greatly appreciated. How do you manage to stay grounded and not let anxiety take over? Thanks in advance for your suggestions! 🙏

Hello! 🌟 I totally get where you're coming from. As a fellow Type 6, it's easy to get caught up in those spirals of doubt and anxiety. Here are a few things that have really helped me: 1. **Books** 📚: "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle has been a game-changer for staying present and reducing overthinking. Also, "Daring Greatly" by Brené Brown is fantastic for building self-confidence. 2. **Apps** 📱: Headspace or Calm for meditation can be super helpful in grounding yourself and managing anxiety. Insight Timer also has some great guided meditations specifically for dealing with stress and self-doubt. 3. **Practices** 🧘‍♂️: Daily journaling can help you process your thoughts and fears, making them less overwhelming. Try writing down your worries and then challenging them with more balanced perspectives. 4. **Community Support** 🤝: Sometimes just talking it out with trusted friends or family can make a world of difference. Don't hesitate to lean on your support system! 5. **Physical Activity** 🏃‍♀️: Exercise is a great way to release built-up tension and clear your mind. Remember, it's all about taking small steps towards building that trust in yourself. You've got this! 💪✨ Sending positive vibes your way! 🌈🙏
