How to feel confident when you feel like phony

Image
I never felt more fake. My earliest memories of working in sales were more of a nightmare than a daydream. I was sitting in my car trying to psyche myself up for a cold call in this dump of town we’ll call Mullberry. Before me was a nice, welcoming “no solicitation” sign and a guy who had a face so sour, it could make a lemon look sweet. He was eyeing me down with apprehension, like how you watch your neighbor’s dog after it drops a nice juicy shit on your front lawn. And there I sat, sweating, wondering how in the Hell I was supposed to cold call him. I was scared out of my mind. My manager gave me the vanilla-ass-advice “just be confident”, but how can you be confident when you feel anything but? I stepped out of my car and gingerly approached the door like I was feeling for a landmine with each step. And when I reached the door, I exploded. That man gave a tongue-lashing so bad, he probably should start a second career in OnlyFans. But in the pain and embarra...

Cal and carrot

Image
    Denise had two things on her            mind: carrots and Carl. Carl loved carrots. Carl hadn’t talked to Denise in two weeks, three days, and 14 hours, and the only thing on Denise’s mind was to bake a carrot cake that would make Carl come back to her.  Where did their problems begin? Well, when they first dated, Carl seemed like the catch of the season, and she was almost beyond her season at 42 and unloved. Denise was a successful engineer with a degree from MIT and a job that paid her well enough to own a sensational top-floor condo on Boston’s Seaport. curvy woman, But money did not attract a good man. Looks and curves and flirtations seemed to do the trick, though. Denise found a great spa for facials, an expert cosmetic surgeon to add some curves and take away others, and joined a gym that she frequented religiously at 6 every morning. And that’s where she met Carl, her trainer. All went wel...

An ordinary day

Image
How’s your week been? I write a lot about how my life feels, the abstract, metaphorical ramblings of how I see this world. But this is something of what it acts day to day, as a kind of ode before these days change forever. ORDINARY DAYS Sometimes I think that I don’t write about the ordinary day because there are so many of them. It always feels a bit cheesy to open my journal and write about what I did, preferring much more to talk about how it felt. But as this semester evaporates behind me, I’m getting nostalgic over the little things. I’m realizing that they are little moments that I will want to look back on, the ones I always love when flipping through old journals because I forgot about them. You don’t forget the big stuff, it’s the mundane, everyday stuff that falls out of reach. But the everyday days are only mundane until it’s noteverydayyanymoree. Then it becomes crystallized as a period of life that you cannot return to, making it all a bit more romantic than it perhaps fe...

According to philosophical observation

Image
We’re told by philosophers to “live one day at a time.” To not worry about the future or think about the past. These admonishments ring true, but that’s not how we humans seem to be wired. I often hear family and friends reminisce: “Remember when we…,” and “I wish we still could…”  Conversely, I hear, “In a few years, I’m frightened I won’t be able to….” Or “What will happen if…?” I used to do this useless worrying also, but thanks to meditation and, as Carl Jung would imply, my current stage of life, I find it easier to release the past and the future (of which we have no control anyway) and live one day at a time. Jung implies that we live in four stages of life, commencing with the sunrise (childhood); then as the sun rises higher, youth; middle life at the highest peak of the sun; and then old age (sunset). Well, gosh darn it, my sunset is as bright as a red rubber ball, slowly descending into the ocean. Red-yellow and as strong as positive energy. So, how do I get from this me...

MohBad Was Killed, Lived In Fear After Meeting Naira Marley – Mother Mother of the late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad has broken silence over the death of her son, saying he did not die…   Mother of the late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad has broken silence over the death of her son, saying he did not die a natural death. While expressing deep grief in a viral video, the woman said Mohbad lived in fear ever since he met the owner of Marlian Records label, Azeez Fashola, widely known as Naira Marley. Mohbad’s mother started by debunking speculations that her son’s death was due to natural causes. She said, “I’m aware my son has been living in fear and having sleepless nights ever since he met Naira Marley. “He didn’t die a natural death; he was killed. Whoever killed my son, that person’s home will become troubled. They will face war and curses. The glory of the child in their home will diminish because of those who ...

SUCCESS IS THE SUM OF SMALL EFFORT REPEATEDLY DAY IN DAY OUT

Image
I have a bit of a problem, one I have been trying to get a handle on for most of this year. Despite many approaches and different methods, I always seem to end up back at square one with too many irons in the fire or balls in the air, whichever rocks your boat. My recent ploy was to tackle just one thing every day, and although jobs were getting done, the effect on the pile of jobs was minimal. On a good day, I can manage to clear quite a few jobs, which has me feeling inordinately proud of my achievements. I seem to be quite efficient at the day-to-day routine tasks; it is everything else that I have trouble with. All of this is what I call the snowball effect, and most of you will probably know what I mean. How just drafting a book can unleash a never-ending stream of jobs that keep on coming. Calling it marketing is how the experts describe their prowess, but this is something I haven’t been able to master. Maybe I never will. I have read all the advice on this problem, ...

WHY BLAME OTHER FOR FAILURE

Image
Fear of taking responsibility: shortcomings and taking ownership of their failures. Ego protection: Blaming others helps protect one’s self-esteem and prevents them from feeling inadequate or incompetent. Lack of self-awareness: Some people may not have the ability to recognize their own mistakes or shortcomings, leading them to blame others instead. Need for control: Blaming others allows individuals to maintain a sense of control over their lives by shifting the blame onto someone else. Avoidance of consequences: By blaming others, individuals hope to avoid facing any negative consequences or repercussions for their failures. External locus of control: People with an external locus of control believe that external factors, rather than their actions, determine the outcomes of their lives. They are more likely to blame others for their failures. Projection: Sometimes, individuals project their insecurities or failures onto others as a defense mechanism. Scapegoating: Blaming others can...

WHAT IS MINDFULNESS MEDITATION?

Image
What Is Mindfulness Meditation? One type of meditation that helps people to concentrate on the present moment is mindfulness meditation. It entails impartially observing ideas, feelings, and experiences while letting them come and go as they please. This technique was secularized and adjusted for different cultures and religious beliefs, yet it is inspired by Buddhist traditions. The Benefits of Mindfulness Meditation 1. Stress Reduction Stress reduction is one of the advantages of mindfulness meditation that has received the most research.

A stronger sensation of peace and relaxation can be attained via regular mindfulness meditation. 2. Improved Mental Health Numerous studies have demonstrated the potency of mindfulness meditation in treating a range of mental health issues. It has been used as an ...
