What It Really Means to "Be Brave Enough to Suck at Something New"
12/16/20 • 24 min
Many people who teach about confidence and taking action toward your goals, including myself, promote the fact that you HAVE to take action in order to gain confidence about something.
And while that's true, we often hear about the butterflies and rainbows that come afterward--you did it, you were brave, it wasn't that scary, everything is awesome, etc.
What we DON'T hear often enough...is the reality that the first time we do something, it's probably going to SUCK. It might be awful, enough to where we don't ever want to try again!
OR...it could go like the story I'm sharing with you today. The first time I did this new thing (teaching a group exercise class), I was so pumped, so excited! And the thing is, class actually went really well! I had a couple of flubs, but people had fun, and I didn't receive any negative feedback...
But instead of feeling happy and accomplished...emotionally, I felt like CRAP!!
And I found I wasn't alone in that experience.
So listen in--you might have had a similar experience as far as the emotions go. And I wanna hear about it if you're willing to share! Hop into the facebook group or DM me!
Let's talk about the REALITY of what it means to be brave enough to suck at something new!

What Reiki Is and How It Helps With Confidence
...Can I still blame the full moon for not being able to get this posted at the usual time? ;) Good grief. The up and down energy shifts these last couple weeks, I tell ya...
You may have heard me talk about my Reiki journey a little bit in the last couple months as I've gone through my Level I and Level II certifications.
I wanted to take today to tell you more about what Reiki is, some of my personal experiences with it so far both as the receiver and the practitioner, and how I believe...or rather, KNOW, it can help with confidence!
If you have more questions, feel free to reach out to me.

Goal-Setting: How to Make 2021 Light Years Better Than 2020
You certainly don't need me to tell you that 2020 was rough.
2021 HAS to be better, right? Where else can we go but up?
Here's the thing, though. 2020 showed us that no matter what our plans are, the universe can throw us a HUGE curveball at any time!
It reinforced the idea that we have to take our power back and take control of the things that we DO have control and choice over.
That starts with determining what we want, setting the steps in motion to make it happen, and COMMITTING to taking continuous action, NO MATTER WHAT!
Listen in today for some steps to help you take charge of 2021 and really start designing the life you desire!!
