HAVE YOU EVER FELT INSECURE?

Have you EVER felt insecure? Of course, you have. Everyone has, even Champions have insecurities. You can replace the word champions with billionaires, moguls, entrepreneurs, models, actresses, lawyers, teachers, housewives, etc, etc.

There is no one who is perfect. The only difference between you and someone you admire is how the act when insecurities arise.

How a champion reacts when insecurities pop up and how someone who isn’t a champion reacts makes ALL the difference.

I was watching Total Divas on the E Network. Natalya is a WWE professional and one of the stars of the show. Nattie (as she affectionately called) has been doing what she does for 15 years.

BADASS WOMEN HAVE INSECURITIES TOO

Process that… FIFTEEN … 1 … 5 YEARS.

Natalya is the definition of BADASS! She does the DAMN THING! Well, guess what even though Nattie is one of the best at what she does, she allowed a much less experienced wrestler to get into her head. That wrestler, Lana, is talented in her own right but inexperienced nonetheless.

Lana made (and kept making) shitty comments about Nattie’s acting skills or her “ability to cut a promo.” She alluded that Nattie wouldn’t achieve success until she “learned how to act better.”

Lana hit below the belt because she felt triggered by Natalya.

Natalya allowed these criticisms about her acting abilities to get into her head.

Here’s the thing….no matter how amazing you are…when you have insecurities (which we all do), you will manifest someone to reflect that insecurity back to you so that you can make a choice. When the insecurity comes to light, you have a choice… stand up and acknowledge the insecurity and then acknowledge the truth or fold into the insecurity and feel sorry for yourself.

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO SHIFT

For a little while, Nattie allowed Lana’s criticism to get into her head. She started to doubt her speaking and acting skills until she finally decided it didn’t feel good.

Once Nattie decided that she wanted something different, she decided to go to a vocal coach. Even when she first started working with the coach she was still not allowing herself to let go. But the important part is she kept going.

Nattie watched her friend/colleague let go and she gained more confidence to do the same and just be her. Then she finally stood in her voice and started to speak more boldly. Then finally when Nattie was ready, SHE LET GO.

And you know what?

Nattie kept letting go. Then she continued to practice letting go and being louder with her voice and trusting in her abilities. She practiced and became more confident.

Here’s the thing….no matter how amazing you are when you have insecurities (which we all do), you manifest someone to reflect that insecurity back to you so that you can make a choice.

SHE LET GO & SHE WON

Shortly after she broke free and let Lana’s comments float away, she won the Women’s Diva’s Championship. She became the first woman to hold both the Diva’s Championship and the Smack Down Championship at the same time.

8 Steps To Letting Go Of Your Insecurities

HOW TO GET OVER YOUR INSECURITIES

What did Nattie do that You can IMPLEMENT in YOUR LIFE? How did she BREAK FREE and WIN? How can you use what Natalya did to get over your own insecurities?

1 – AWARENESS

Become aware of a specific insecurity. Natalya allowed herself to finally become aware of what as going on inside.

2 – DECISION

Make a decision. Nattie decided she didn’t like the way it felt and choose to do something about it.

3 – LISTEN TO GUIDANCE

Listen to your inner wisdom. When it came down to it, Natalya listened to her gut. She allowed her Soul to Speak to her. She knew that her passion to become champion at doing what she loved was the direction that she should go. So she kept moving forward. She listened to her Soul. She didn’t let her insecurity stop her from doing what she felt led to do.

4 – GET HELP

Hire a Coach. When Natalya knew that there was something she wanted to get better at, she hired a coach. It wasn’t that she couldn’t have taught herself how to do promos better, but by hiring a coach she allowed herself to learn quicker, become aware of places where she could shift more quickly and she was able to uplevel faster.

5 – TAKE ACTION

Take Action and Keep Moving Forward. Nattie used the tools provided to her, listened to her guidance and despite feeling insecure and scared she kept taking action.

6 – LET GO AND ALLOW

Let Go, Surrender and Allow. Instead of trying to control every single aspect of her growth, Natalya let go and allowed. She allowed herself to be HEARD and SEEN.

7 – REALIZE THE TRUTH

Realize the Truth. Nattie realized the insecurity was ridiculous and recognized the truth of her brilliance and mastery.

8 – CHOOSE TO BECOME CONFIDENT

Make the choice to become more confident. Natalya became confident in herself and her abilities. By choosing to become confident, she upleveled to a place she had been wanting to be for a long time.

WHERE HAVE I ALLOWED INSECURITIES TO RULE?

When watching the show and any show, I always love to allow myself to become aware. I used this as an opportunity to ask questions of myself. The question that I asked myself “Where have I allowed insecurities to rule?”

The answer to this question made itself known very easily as it always does when you are ready to hear.

At the time, I had a huge insecurity about taking pictures and being seen. I wanted to hide. Because of this fear, I didn’t want to be on my about me page for my organic scrub business. I used the excuse that it was unprofessional. But the truth was that I didn’t think that I was pretty enough or skinny enough to put my pictures on the site.

However, I continued to hide from the insecurity. Finally, once I decided that I was letting this go, it took me following the steps listed above to do something about it.

I finally chose to acknowledge my feeling of not being enough and sitting with that feeling for a moment. Then, I chose to align with what I really wanted by journaling. In my journaling, I asked myself how it would feel to be more confident and happy within myself?

DID IT HAPPEN OVERNIGHT?

It took awhile for me to allow a picture of me to be taken in reference to my business. Then I finally started to allow a picture be taken and uploaded here and there. Slowly, I started to feel more and more confident.

One day, I put together my photoshoot (yes all the pics are ones I took myself! …gotta love a bluetooth remote! The pics came out great.

Sure I had a ton of resistance come up while I was doing the photoshoot. I cried, I laughed and I criticized myself all the way through it.

Then once it was all over I looked at the shots and they came out amazing. It took me stepping away and then going back to look at the pictures to realize that they really were GREAT. I took me actually doing what I feared and then walking away from it to realize that I was beautiful and the resistance was bit ridiculous.

AM I FINALLY THERE?

If by THERE you mean all the resistance is gone and I am now snapping pics and videos every chance I get…then NOPE.

I will tell you this…I am getting better and better every single day. I recorded my first FB Live which went well in late December 2017 and I have recorded many many more since then.

I have become more and more comfortable with being visible. I admit that took longer in the beginning because I was doing this on my own. A few months after my first live stream, I hired a coach who reflects back to me the same visibility and confidence I desired to exude. By hiring this coach, I began to step into what was ALREADY INSIDE of me.

This is fully possible for you. Whatever you can recognize in others is also inside of you. Don’t think that a coach or mentor is saving you. She or he is just helping you to connect with who you ALREADY ARE and what you ALREADY KNOW.

JOURNAL PROMPT

What are you not doing that if you were completely confident in yourself and your abilities you would be doing more of?

In your journaling have fun with it. Remember to dig deep. Keep asking yourself why you responded in a certain way. And get to the bottom of the reason why you aren’t doing whatever it is now. THEN, shift to what you want to do. Write about what you desire it to be as if it has already happened!
