This is why it's so important to be supportive as a parent. There's so much stuff I remember from growing up like being excited about something and having my parents shut me down if it wasn't a sure thing
I like the idea of micro-risks... it sounds like it's just doing something you wouldn't normally that doesn't have a huge amount of consequences if it goes wrong
Thank you! Yeah, taking action can be something simple but easy to achieve. The key is consistency and allowing the steps to build on themselves, getting you closer to your goal and psychologically supporting yourself. For me, little wins have a big impact in encouraging me to keep going. Good luck in your journey!
Don't raise your hand in class, don’t start exercising, what if you fail? I never realized how much I’ve been living like that, avoiding things out of fear. Time to make a change!
I loved this! Powerful message and great delivery- thank you for sharing your story. I am so sorry to hear about the accident and your struggles, but it's really inspiring to hear what you have been able to take away from these experiences.
I like what he says around the 6:00 mark, about action being part of the learning. I think that's why it doesn't work when other people try to tell you about the lessons, you have to experience these things yourself
So true! Hearing about it versus experiencing are worlds apart. The difference is akin to a signpost telling you where the destination is versus experiencing it for yourself.

Yes, absolutely. What I found effective was to keep making the risk smaller until it felt small to me. For some people jumping out of an airplane is a micro-risk (I actually know people like that) but for me, that would be entirely overwhelming. It's important to honor yourself and your risk tolerance.
I remember being fearless as a kid too... then I fell off a fence, landed on my face and chipped my front tooth. That's literally the exact moment my fearlessness went away lol
I hear you. In the past, my inner critic helped me to not settle for mediocrity and get the most out of myself. However, now I've noticed that it keeps me from celebrating the wins. I always feel behind and not enough. It doesn't serve me anymore. Time to give that voice another job! hahaha
