Thank you for the critical reminder. The self-doubt during job search in this environment is paralysing. Also, I recently read "The Courage to be disliked" based on Adlerian Psychology. I recommend it to everyone along with this article...

I have not commented before, but better late than never! Your insights and suggestions for approaching life and the every day challenges are second to none. Thank you for what you do.

Means a lot, Laura! Thanks for taking the time to write back.

I know this is true, but knowing it doesn't stop the pull toward the negative meaning every single time. My default reaction is always to file things under "proof I'm not good enough" first, and it takes real effort to catch that and reframe it. Feels like something that has to be trained, not just understood.

That's it exactly. Understanding it is the easy part, catching yourself in the moment is the actual work.

Amazing article! I always stuck in the memory of my failure in the past. And your newsletters always remind me what really matters. Reading your newsletter every week is a definitely good exercise for me. Thank you!

Thanks, Yui! I appreciate that. And that’s the best feedback.

Thanks for the reminder! Suffering is not created all the same it seems.
