I used to be full of fear and so concerned about what others thought of me. I would presume I knew what others were thinking and create a narrative in my own mind that many times wasn’t true. As I worked hard to recognize what the voice of love was saying to me vs. the voice of fear and self-hatred it helped give me new language to release over myself. I began to use mantras and positivity to change my thought patterns. Here are some examples of what I may say. I am like-able. I am friendly. People like me. I am powerful. I am fearless! My future is full of good things. Good things are coming. The best is ahead!

We all have thoughts that run through our mind day in and out. If our self-talk is negative it is DEFINITELY having a negative affect on us! I used to walk into a room and not feel comfortable in my own skin. I wondered what people thought of me. Did I fit in?

But it’s not that way anymore!!! I walk into a room feeling confident, significant and valuable. I go in with a mindset that affirms the belief I hold that I am needed and contribute something to the space that no one else can bring.

You are also needed. You are significant! You are valuable. You can contribute something to the environment that no one else can because of your uniqueness. If we grab a hold of these truths and begin to verbally remind ourselves of what IS true, it will begin to feel more true.

Now, if I say I am fearless but never face the things that make me afraid I will never grow into the full potential of being fearless. It's in the saying AND doing that I become who I want to be, the most authentic version of myself. When I first recognized that I needed to become fearless in order to achieve my full destiny I knew I had to be convinced of it. I didn’t know how to be fearless so I started saying out loud, I am fearless!

It felt so untrue when I first heard those words come out of my mouth! I had conquered many things that used to enslave me. I had overcome many things I used to fear. But actually walking fearlessly?! I knew I wasn’t there yet. Fast forward just a handful of months, when I spoke out I am FEARLESS I began to feel tears fill my eyes, because I realized I actually FELT it. I am becoming fearless!

Do I have more progress to make… farther to go… more scary things to look in the face and take them on? Yes! But it’s in the action that I have been able to move forward. I have stepped out many times; I have faced what scared the shit out of me, and I have conquered it! It's in the doing that we grow.

 You are equally capable of becoming fearless. The possibilities for where you'll go as you live a life uninhibited by fear are astounding and beautiful. Let's do it together! Let's become the truest, most glorious version of ourselves.
