A couple months back I had a conversation with a potential coaching client where she made the statement “I don’t think I could do what you do when it comes to being on video.”
Say what? What I do? Like…make a fool of myself and only show myself from the chest up?
OOOoooo she probably thinks there’s something different/better/right with me that she is lacking – therefore she can’t do what I do.
I think this is the first time I became aware that because of the business I have and the amount of followers I have and the success I’ve achieved – that someone would put me on a pedestal and think what I have – is unachievable for them.
Maybe this is not news to you – but it hit me like a ton of bricks after she made that one statement.
“I can’t do what you do.”
How many of you have ever thought that about someone you admired or looked up to or aspired to be like?
“I can’t do what you do.”
The F*** you can’t?!?! Who told you that? Your overly obsessed about what other people think of them mom? Your psycho narcissistic ex-boyfriend? Your broken and damaged alcoholic father? Maybe those labels don’t resonate with your upbringing specifically – but somewhere along the way – if you think you can’t do something that you really want to be able to do – that is a learned belief that someone else implanted on you.
You were not born with the fear of attention.
You were not born with the fear of judgement.
You were born with the fear of falling and the fear of loud noises. THAT’S IT.
Every other insecurity, fear, belief was taught to you based on your environment.
Cool fact about that – if you learned it – you can unlearn it.
You can challenge it.
If that fear doesn’t serve you – you can take fear and tell it to sit the F down – cause I’m in charge now. And we’re gonna do this Reel and we’re gonna have fun and ridiculous and then we’re gonna PUBLISH for other people to see! 🤭🤭🤭
Cause here’s the thing – you think about 60,000-70,000 thoughts a day. Guess what…
NOT ALL THOSE THOUGHTS ARE FACTS!
You have the ability to choose which thoughts/beliefs/feelings/experiences serve you in your goals and dreams – and you can just let all of the other 59,000 random thoughts just go.
On this week’s podcast episode – I share about my own insecurities especially when it comes to my body and showing it on social media for all to judge… and the mindset and thoughts I choose to have that empower me and motivate me to show up online anyways.
I think it would be incredibly valuable for you to get a sneak peek into my thought process when it comes to those not so favorable self-talk thoughts that sneak in – and how I show up anyway.
Episode Highlights:
- Empowering mindset that motivated Tara to show up confidently online
