The Confidence Series:Stop trying to fit in & Start Standing Out
We are so programmed and conditioned to tone it down and fit in. We are programmed to do it right, not the best.
We are concerned about getting "likes" or being liked.
We focus on pleasing others rather than pleasing ourselves
It is time to stop putting yourself last, and condition yourself to strive to be great.
Isn't it time for you to start shining and be what you were destined for?
Start with these steps, and then post your results below. Let me know what comes up for you.
1. What is your goal? What is it that you were afraid to do, and have been keeping under the radar? What is the best version of this story? (HINT: take your dream and amplify it by 10)
2. Outline the steps towards doing what you did not think you could do. (And do it)
3. Notice what comes up for you (we need to get rid of those negative Nelly's)
4. Now that you have the awareness of your "go to" thoughts, start imagining the opposite.
What is the opposite - How does that work?
Well let's say that your default thought/story is "If I do this, people won't like me anymore"
Do it..
And guess what - do you really want to be liked for a person you are not? If people back off, awesome - you just found out who is really a true friend. And I don't know about you, but I would rather have less people around that love me for me, than a bunch of people around who do not even know who I am!
Let me know how it goes and if you find yourself getting stuck along the way.
