Dishita: A journey from being a Self Criticizer to self Cheerleader!

As a Child, I suffered with very low self confidence, poor self worth and let’s say, I was my very own biggest criticizer. I grew up hiding from compliments, attention and any sort of recognition because when you don’t like yourself, others pick that energy and reflect it back to you. My self insecurities led to a point that I was hesitant to express myself to anyone, made 1 or 2 friends, never participated in anything out of my comfort zone and remained to be a people pleaser for the longest time. I remained average in all facets of my life, unknowingly kept becoming the victim of my own poor self image. As time passed, I tried hard to overcome all these emotions and experiences. In 2015, one of my colleagues introduced me to the power of imagination, gratitude and goal setting through visualization. Initially, it didn’t make any sense to me but I was intrigued to know more about it. Thus, I started practicing it, and surprisingly I received an offer from my dream job.

I was in seventh heaven and absolutely amazed to know what my mind could build. After that, I decided to get into this field, and in 2018, I started coaching with personal development guru, Bob Proctor. It was the best gift that I could give to myself. While living in four different parts of the world, I got the privilege to be mentored by legends like Bob Proctor, Marisa Peers, and Jose Silva. I ultimately decided to leave the finance industry after serving for 7 years to help people heal and seek happiness in the most insignificant things.

However, my family didn’t endorse this idea. They thought I was crazy to give up a successful corporate career. But, I was determined to do what I wanted to. I realized, I had to be in my team and cheer for me. So from being a self criticizer I became a positive self cheerleader. So far I have impacted thousands of lives across 23 different countries and published 3 books altogether.

The people that made fun of me were the same that later choose to compliment me as the Miss India Canada finalist in 2016 & showered me with love & affection as a Published Author. After coming this far, I’m glad that I chose to stay put through it all. I have also taken a pledge to impact 1 million lives and I’m sure one day I will reach there because life never wrenches the one who toils for their dreams! Be your own cheerleader because that’s all really matters.
