On the other side of fear is FREEDOM ❤️
If there is something you want to do but doubt, fear, or anxiety is holding you back, this is your sign to go for it!
This opportunity was not something I went after, it was manifested. ✨
I knew what I wanted my life to look and I knew what it wanted to feel like, so I meditated on it.
Days later this opportunity to do back-up singing found me.
The thought of being on stage frightened me like you wouldn’t believe! But I thought okay backup singing isn’t as scary as being the lead singer, so I said yes. I love singing, but I didn’t think I was good enough to be on stage.
After hearing me sing the band asked me to do a solo and even though the thought made me shake in my socks, I said yes.
I used my Nervous System Regulation tools to help my body feel safe with the idea of being seen, of being heard, of making mistakes.
So was I perfect on stage? Did it all go as planned?
NOPE!!
My mind was excited but my body still held some of the stories of fear (after all this was something I’ve never done before) and my mouth was SO dry I didn’t think I could sing. Until the very last moment I thought, “how can I get out of this?”
But I couldn’t do that to the band and I couldn’t do that to myself. I needed to show up for me.
So I did it scared.
And it was one of the BEST experiences of my entire life!
Fear is not a sign that you shouldn’t do something or that it’s not right for you. And it’s not something you can eliminate before the event.
It’s feeling that buildup of fear and doing it anyways! Because you know in your heart that you are exactly where you are supposed to be.
And facing that fear? OMG! It changes you! ❤️ It doesn’t even matter if you made mistakes or things went differently than planned.
You did it!!
And you will never be the same. You’ll meet the new version of yourself that overcame something really hard!
That’s where confidence is created. ❤️
You are capable of everything you’ve been dreaming of 💕
