The Fear of Being Ourselves:
Last week I gave a presentation to roughly 140 people on a zoom call under the premise of "what has living in hospitals really taught me." It was a message of hope, during our most trying of times. And hope comes from confronting our fears.
There's 2 core fears for all humans. We are afraid we are not going to be loved and we are fearful we are not enough.
My friends, there's good news today. We are loved. We are enough.
"But coach, not with my flaws! If you saw how my business is in shambles, or how I've been a bad parent or spouse, and if you only saw me for who I really was ----" ... you may be thinking.
And I know that thought all too well, because I've been there. I've been where I hate who I am because of my looks, my business, my wifey skills. I question whether I am enough, doing enough, have enough, being enough. I question what enough really even means!
And then one day, I got over my story in my head about who it was I thought I needed to be and sighed that, I am who I need to be already.
And here's how I got over it. I realized I do not have to live with the thoughts taht do not serve me. And if I am enough already, then there is hope regardless of circumstances. If we all believe we are not enough or are unloved, we also simultaneously have hope that we are perfect in who we are already. We can be both. And then I just needed to choose the thought that served my goals. And that thought was that I am who I am because someone needed me to be myself. I can't help people if I'm not myself and don't believe in my own worth. And helping others was why I had to go through what I went through.
And for you, there's a primal thought that helps guide you to go through what you need to go through. There's a future on the other side better than the negative thoughts that you have. Choose that future.
Coach Klyn's Action Plan:
Be gracious with yourself when the voice in your head shares the fear that you're not enough or that you're not loved. Recognize everyone feels this from time to time. When in the middle of these thoughts, take the time to do something to take care of yourself. The reason flight attendants tell you to put your oxygen mask on first, is because it saves lives.Friends if this show today inspired you, encouraged you, gave you hope or made you feel less alone - I’d like to invite you to leave a 5 star review here and share it with a friend.
