Unless my little despite, he was always by my side, he was not my rival, but a good contestant.

Cultivating a positive mindset is crucial when dealing with self-doubt. Instead of focusing on what could go wrong, visualize successful outcomes. Remind yourself of past successes and the value you bring to your library. Affirmations and positive self-talk can also help reframe your mindset.

I think positive mindset it's so close to emotional intelligence actually, because there so many situations that happen every single of the day, that makes you to consider left everything and runaway, right now I can say that I am on a dilemma, I just want to hide myself and non be founded. In fact, my mental state it's nos pretty good for now, but I will try my best, that positivism makes to believe that I will be better, maybe not now but soon. Whenever, wherever I know that I will able to get well.
