I’m a happy-go-lucky person!!

Blind Spot

I’m shy! Something that I just discover from CK, my group mate.

Refer to your Personal Inventory and write down 5 affirming statements that you can make about yourself?

I'm a very HAPPY person, for sure!
I'm very outgoing!!!
I'm SELF AWARE!
I'm principled & i hold on to MY BELIEFS!
I'm DAMN CHEERFUL!!

What are some of the limiting beliefs that you hold? Take a few minutes to reflect on the impact it has on your self-esteem, your relationships, and actions.

I used to trust the people around me easily. Not until after a few experiences, i believe that we shouldn't trust other people easily. Sometimes, the one you are closed with is your greatest enemy. Though in some relationship like friendship etc, trust plays an important role but there's a limit to it to avoid yourself from being hurt at the end of the day. Due to that, I've never trust anyone fully now. It takes a whole load of efforts to earn the trust, but it takes just one negative action to destroy it.

I used to think that I'm useless & that people around me are so much better than me.Due to that, i felt belittled. It was then I started to come out of my comfort zone & be as good as what I thought of other. & now, I'm proud of where I am now because i finally feel who I am really now & are more confident of myself. I'm not easily swayed & have my feet planted firmly on the ground of what i believe in.
