- 0:28Good morning from the chicken coop.
- 0:31Question. Do you believe in yourself?
- 0:34It's a very deep question when you actually stop and pause and
- 0:37think about it. Most of us would answer a very
- 0:39quickly. Yes, of course, I believe in
- 0:40myself. That's why I'm here.
- 0:42It's, why I'm doing all these things but the reality is when
- 0:45we start to check in with it and we start to say, well okay, I
- 0:49believe in myself, but how do I know that?
- 0:51How does that show up? What are the things I do to help
- 0:54me believe in myself. You might be surprised at what
- 0:58you find most of the time. When I am working with people
- 1:02and I asked that question, I get interesting answers.
- 1:06And I even with myself, sometimes I get very interesting
- 1:09answers. Like, do I believe in myself?
- 1:12I'll say, alright, do I believe in myself when I do this?
- 1:14It's like, well yeah, I'll see what happens.
- 1:17But is that really believing in yourself when you just answer
- 1:20the question? Well, see what happens it could
- 1:22be, but it is all dependent upon the intent of which you come at
- 1:27it, meaning the emotion behind it.
- 1:28So, if I answer the question and I I say yeah, I believe in
- 1:32myself. Like I have a project that I'm
- 1:34working on right now I'm like, okay, do I believe in myself to
- 1:38do this? Get this done.
- 1:40Have it be of quality, I'll be like, yes, but I have to check
- 1:45in with the intent of where it's coming from.
- 1:47So how am I measuring that belief in myself?
- 1:51Is it going to be based on how many people end up participating
- 1:55in it? Is it going to be?
- 1:56Because I'm where I'm working on demand.
- 1:58I don't want to be cryptic, I want to be truthful about it.
- 2:00I'm working on it. Right now.
- 2:01So if I'm working on a course to go out and offer to the public,
- 2:05is My Success on, that is how I feel about.
- 2:08It is my belief in myself at the core to get this thing done and
- 2:14have it be a success coming from my excitement about it?
- 2:18Is it coming from my fear? Is it coming from?
- 2:22I wonder if anybody's going to like it and you have to really
- 2:27dig into your head, go into what your You're consistent, thoughts
- 2:32are and you're constantly telling yourself about it and
- 2:36it's okay to say, well, I'm going to see what happens if
- 2:39behind-the-scenes the true feeling as well.
- 2:43I'm detached from it. I'm just going to see what
- 2:45happens. I'm okay, I'm having fun, doing
- 2:47it and we'll see what happens. That's great.
- 2:49If you're a detached from it at that level, it's really hard to
- 2:53be at that level because we always have these little hooks,
- 2:56these little tiny little hooks that get us And they hurt like
- 3:01hell because we didn't realize they were there.
- 3:05To the point of this conversation is to help you
- 3:07realize that they're there and pull it out.
- 3:10So as I'm working on this course and we're moving into week two
- 3:15and I'm running it through a test group now I'm like okay how
- 3:20do I feel about this? How are how do I feel about it?
- 3:24Not do, am I like because I'm getting great feedback from
- 3:27people but in my head it's like okay.
- 3:30Well, do I believe in myself to get this finished and actually,
- 3:33get it out there to help people? And the reality is, I have a
- 3:38whopping intent to go out and help people.
- 3:40Like it's a burning thing for me.
- 3:42It's why do this podcast? It's why coach, it's why I write
- 3:45books. It's something that I can't
- 3:48explain where it comes from and how intentional it is.
- 3:51It's why I will answer text late at night to clients.
- 3:54It's why I don't walk away from helping somebody when they need
- 3:59it. The reality comes down to, okay?
- 4:03When it comes to me and I'm saying, okay, do I believe in
- 4:07myself for this piece of it and getting it done and out there?
- 4:13Yes, I believe in myself to get it out there.
- 4:15But do I look at it optimistically and say, hmm, I
- 4:18think this will be a success and it caused me to pause and I do
- 4:22this all day every day. So I had to go.
- 4:25Wow, that's interesting because it's very vulnerable when you
- 4:28try something new and you push yourself out There.
- 4:31Now I'm super Brave when it comes to growing plants and
- 4:35trying things with my chickens and everything else, I mean, I
- 4:37will just jump in and I always expect the best, believe the
- 4:41best and put it out there. But sometimes when it comes from
- 4:45something else, when you're doing something that's super
- 4:48creative, and you're really on the edge, you find that, you
- 4:52don't have a clear path in your head to what that feels like on
- 4:57the, on the inside, you're just like tentative.
- 5:00Not studying it and saying, hmm, is this a piece of it that's
- 5:04going to hold me back because remember I love to use the
- 5:07analogy of the hook because when you get hooked you're not able
- 5:11to walk forward, you're being stuck where you are or you're
- 5:13being pulled backwards and that's the whole purpose of
- 5:16using the intent and saying hook because I don't want to get
- 5:20hooked and hold myself back. So I have to stop and pause and
- 5:23say to myself. Yes.
- 5:26I absolutely 100% believe in myself to make this go out.
- 5:30There and change lives and sell. And get everybody out there
- 5:35knowing it. Keeping it available for
- 5:38everybody doing this. Yes it is going to be helpful
- 5:41saleable all those things and I recognize I actually have to
- 5:46keep programming myself for that because it's a vulnerability.
- 5:51So I thought well this is really interesting.
- 5:53This is happening for me. I know this is happening for
- 5:55everybody else. So actually check in with
- 5:58yourself. Do you believe in yourself?
- 6:00Are you doing it? So you understand where those
- 6:03little hooks are? Because you might say in
- 6:05general? Yes, I believe in myself, you
- 6:07know, to this point I have 50 years of success but guess what
- 6:12it's more about digging in and seeing those little tiny hooks
- 6:15because we all know what it's like when you get a little tiny
- 6:18paper cut, it's annoying and holds it hurts and it gets your
- 6:21attention and it takes you off of whatever whatever you're
- 6:24doing. But those hooks they can
- 6:26actually pull you hurt you and pull you back, so pay attention
- 6:30to it. It actually asked the question
- 6:32and see what you come up with. All right, my friends.
- 6:35I will see you tomorrow. I hope you have a blessed day.
- 6:37Bye.
