Showing up.
Showing up is a skill. It is built with practice. By showing up, day after day after day.
Showing up is difficult because when we start there is no one we are showing up for.
And it’s so much easier to hide or put it off for another day.
Why write a blog today when no one will read it?
Why record a podcast today when no one will listen to it?
So we wait. We wait for people to show up. We wait for permission.
The culture of Instagram has made this worse.
The first thing we ask is how many views did our story or our reel get.
Is that relevant? Does that mean that our video was good?
If that’s the case, then pornographic content would be the highest quality content.
Hopefully, we agree that that is not the case.
So, how do we build this skill of showing up?
How do we counter the voice inside our head?
It’s simple but it is not easy.
Write the blog for the privilege of writing the blog,
Record the podcast to give your voice and your opinions a way out.
Keep doing that consistently, preferably daily.
What about the quality, you ask?
If you do it daily, you will learn through iteration,
you will keep getting better,
Moreover you will become aware of the things that you need to learn
You will become very specific about them…
Also, you will start noticing more.
You will start doing conscious consumption…
You will start picking up the best aspect from different creators and start adding them to your work.
If you write a blog daily, within 3 months, you’ll have almost a 100 entries.
So don’t worry about entry number 1, get to entry number 100 and then we can talk about how you can level up.
Can’t wait to see what you show up with.
See you soon.
