I had a coaching session yesterday. I was preparing to meet a friend who said she could introduce me to someone for an opportunity to go on TV. I had serious doubt about myself, so I talked to my coach about it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She and I worked through some of the thoughts in my mind, and processed through some very strong emotions I had within me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Near the end, I shared with my coach on this one belief, one I held onto very strongly since I was young: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Do your best. Hope for the best but expect the worst.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I lived by it since I was in my highschool years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I know I believed it because I was very much against feeling disappointed. It was a feeling I constantly have because of my high expectation of myself.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What this belief does, is that it would make me try new things, do my best. I would keep making things happen, BUT it makes me doubt myself, deep down, I refuse to believe that things will happen.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So my coach asked, what if you believe that what you want will happen? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started crying, because I realized how scared I am of that thought. I mean, can you imagine? You want it so bad and if it doesn\u2019t happen! I\u2019d be so disappointed! But I realized what this belief is really doing is that it holds me back from truly believing in myself.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To explain it in another way, this is the imposter part of me, always believing that I\u2019m just a fraud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it happens, it is just a fluke.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because when things happen, I didn\u2019t actually believe that it was me and my efforts. I didn\u2019t believe that I am actually capable. All of this was just a fluke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For her to ask me that question, it was like, wait a minute, you mean I am this powerful version of myself? You mean this is real??<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this is the belief process, from not believing to believing, stepping into the next version of myself.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it\u2019s ok. changes happen from within before it can be seen on the outside. I know it\u2019s still a long road ahead, but I am excited to see all the changes in my life.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to create changes in your life, it all starts with this: What if it\u2019s possible for me too? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It all starts with the awareness that it\u2019s possible, and the willingness to try. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a while, you may feel like you\u2019re an imposter, but it\u2019s all part of the transformation process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you\u2019re scared, you don\u2019t have to do it alone. If you believe that you\u2019re ready for a change, but have no idea where to start, what you want, or how to get there, I\u2019d love to offer you a free 60-min Jump Start conversation<\/a> with me.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even just to have a glimpse of what's possible. What if it's possible? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Book one now<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
