I remember one moment so clearly. I had just gotten amazing feedback at work, something that should have made me proud. Instead, my first thought was, They’re just being nice. They don’t actually think I’m that good. And that’s when it hit me. It didn’t matter how much external validation I got, if my own mind didn’t believe it, I’d never feel it.

I had tried therapy, self-help books, journaling, none of it really changed the way I felt. Then I found Self-Master Academy. At first, I wasn’t convinced. How could something as simple as answering a few questions shift a lifelong belief? But within a couple of weeks, things started happening.

I caught myself saying thank you when someone complimented me, without downplaying it. I spoke up in a meeting without overthinking every word. I let myself relax without feeling like I had to “earn” it first. And the biggest shift? I realized I didn’t need to prove anything to anyone.

I can’t even explain how freeing that is. I used to think confidence came from achieving more, but now I see, it comes from finally believing you’re already enough.

For years, I carried things I thought I’d never get over. I told myself I had moved on, but certain memories would still hit me out of nowhere, like a weight pressing down on my chest. No matter how much I tried to rationalize or “let go,” it felt like my mind wasn’t listening.

At one point, I started avoiding things that reminded me of the past. Songs, places, even people. I convinced myself I was fine, but deep down, I knew I wasn’t. I just didn’t know what else to do. Therapy helped me understand things, but it didn’t change anything. I still felt the same.

I came across Self-Master Academy when I was at a breaking point. I was skeptical honestly, I wasn’t sure anything could help at this point. But I gave it a shot, and within the first couple of weeks, something shifted. A memory that used to send me into a spiral came up and for the first time, it didn’t hurt. It was just… a memory. I didn’t have to fight it, analyze it, or push it away. It just didn’t have power over me anymore.

I can’t even explain the relief I feel. It’s like my mind finally let go, and I didn’t have to force it. I didn’t expect it to work this well, but looking back, I wish I had done this years ago.

I used to think I was just lazy. No matter how much I wanted to be productive, I would put things off until the last possible second, then panic and rush to finish. I told myself I worked best under pressure, but the truth was, I felt out of control—like I was watching myself make bad decisions and couldn’t stop.

It wasn’t just about work. I delayed everything—texting people back, going to the gym, even doing things I wanted to do. I would make all these plans in my head but never follow through. Then I’d beat myself up over it, promise to change, and repeat the cycle all over again. When I joined Self-Master Academy, I wasn’t expecting much. I’d tried every productivity hack, every planner, every self-discipline trick out there. But after a couple of weeks, I realized something weird, I was just doing things. No forcing, no negotiating with myself, no waiting until the last minute. The resistance I was so used to feeling just wasn’t there anymore.

It was the first time in my life that being productive actually felt easy. I’m not wasting hours overthinking or dreading things. I start projects without that sinking feeling in my chest. I finally feel like I have control over my time—and honestly, I never thought I’d be that person.

After my breakup, I felt like I was stuck in a loop I couldn’t escape. I’d wake up feeling fine, but by the end of the day, I’d somehow ended up on their social media, overanalyzing everything. I told myself to focus on myself, to let go, but my mind wouldn’t listen. It felt like part of me was still waiting for something, closure, a sign, anything to make it hurt less.

I tried everything people say to do—blocking, journaling, keeping busy, but nothing stopped the random waves of sadness. It wasn’t just missing them; it was this deeper fear that I’d never feel that connection again, that I’d never fully move on. 

I found Self-Master Academy when I was desperately searching for something to help. I wasn’t expecting much, but within two weeks, everything felt different. I wasn’t waking up with that heavy feeling in my chest. The random thoughts still came, but they passed quickly instead of pulling me into a spiral. It was like my mind had finally processed everything instead of clinging to the past. I never expected to feel this free so soon. I thought moving on had to take months or years, but now, I finally feel like me again, and I’m actually excited about what’s next.

I’ve been into manifestation for years. Vision boards, affirmations, scripting... I did it all. Sometimes things worked, but a lot of the time, it felt like I was forcing it. I’d try to “trust the universe” while secretly overthinking, doubting, and wondering if I was doing something wrong. When I saw Self-Master Academy had a bonus course on manifestation, I was curious but also skeptical. I already knew how manifestation worked, what could they possibly teach me that I hadn’t already tried? But after going through the course, I realized that my biggest blocks weren’t in my actions, they were in my subconscious.

I started using the QPH process, and within weeks, things shifted in a way I cannot explain. I wasn’t “trying” to manifest anymore, it was just happening. Random opportunities, unexpected money, even little things I had wanted for months but had forgotten about. It was like everything was flowing instead of feeling like a constant battle with my own doubts.

I always believed in manifestation, but now I actually understand why it works, and for the first time, it feels effortless.

For years, I told myself I just needed to work harder. Wake up earlier, stay focused, push through. I read books on productivity, tried habit trackers, even paid for expensive coaching programs. But no matter what I did, I kept running into the same cycle, I’d start strong, stay motivated for a bit, but then something would happen. A bad week, unexpected stress, or just that slow, creeping loss of momentum. Before I knew it, I was back in the same place, frustrated and stuck.

It wasn’t like I was doing nothing, I was busy all the time. But at the end of each month, I had little to show for it. I’d see other people making things happen, growing their income, hitting their goals, while I felt like I was running on a treadmill, putting in effort but not moving. The worst part? Deep down, I started wondering if maybe I just wasn’t the kind of person who could be successful.

I signed up for Self-Master Academy almost as a last resort. I didn’t need another system, I knew how to make to-do lists. But I wanted to understand why I kept sabotaging myself. Why I’d avoid tasks that mattered, why I’d get stuck in overthinking, why I couldn’t just follow through. The first week felt... almost too simple. I was answering these questions, going through the QPH process, and part of me thought, 'How is this going to change anything?'. But something weird happened. I didn’t feel the usual resistance to starting things. I didn’t waste an hour trying to ‘get in the zone.’ I just... did the work.

A month in, I realized I had accomplished more than I had in the past six. Not because I was forcing myself, but because the blocks that used to slow me down weren’t there anymore. I wasn’t overthinking every decision. I wasn’t putting off emails for no reason. I wasn’t stuck in my head, questioning if I was doing the right thing. And then came the real shift. I closed my first high-paying client. I finally launched the project I’d been “working on” for years. My income doubled in three months, not because I worked myself into the ground, but because I was actually doing the right things without all the mental resistance.

I used to think success was about working harder. Now I know, it’s about getting your mind to stop fighting you. Everything becomes so much easier.
