I noticed that I cache a bunch of negative self-image thoughts related to things I think I’m supposed to be good at. For example, I’ve gotten pretty good at a sport but I don’t practice a lot while I’m in school. So during the time that I didn’t train, I internalized that I’ve gotten much worse that I used to be which made me less inclined to start training again. But then I went to practice during the holiday break, I noticed only a very manageable rustiness that was nowhere near the horrible failure I was projecting in my brain. So I’m going to try and not trust my negative self-estimates too much when they stop me from doing productive things.
