The Lies Your Fears Are Telling You | BE Moment
I don't know if I can do this.
That's what was going through my mind Tuesday night. The night before I was recording my first LIVE, in person podcast. I was a bit freaked out about making sure my tech + equipment was right. After all, I'd had to record my first episode THREE times because I couldn't quite figure out the sweet spot of my mic.
I was nervous because the stakes had just gotten a LOT higher. Normally, I reach out to my guests. This time, they reached out to me.....for a collaboration with one of the highest end outdoor shopping malls in the country. I felt some serious imposter syndrome.....would I be good enough? Would my listeners like it? I was the opposite of relaxed, joyous and abundant - my ideal BE state.
A few weeks ago, I heard Sarah Pendrick of Girl Talk Network speak - dreams are the truth, fears are the lies
Claim Your Dreams Despite Your Fears + Triggers. Be in RELATIONSHIP with your fears. You don’t overcome your fears, you learn how to work with them!! See your triggers + get curious. Instead of allowing it to freeze you.
Ask, what lie are you going to tell me today? That lie is what is going to allow us to play small!!
And I thought about this podcast -.....about my mission and vision. It's the idea of getting clear on who we are meant to be, how we want to feel and then designing our life around that. And that includes a LOT of uncomfortable growth. And I know you are all growing...
YOU are SO worthy of these dreams. There is a reason they are given to you!!
So I did the podcast!! And I'd lie if I said it went perfectly. Life never will. But I moved forward in messy action (though I did my best to minimize the mess apparent to anyone else) and I did it. And the reality is that the fear, the uncertainty......it disappears pretty quickly once you're not only committed to taking the step but you're mid stride.
I finished the interview and on my drive back home, I was elated. Not because I had done it perfectly but because I had done it. And I know I'll continue to improve. But most importantly, because I didn't buy into the fears of what could have happened.
Instead, I borrowed the belief of my future self until I became a little bit more of her that day.
Our future self…..is the self where it is all possible. When we get into a heightened state, we are stepping into that future self and make decisions as her. SHE is our BE state!!
