I’ve Been Protecting Myself From What I Want
[VIDEO]
I recently came to the devastating conclusion… that I’m riddled with fear!
For years, I’ve unknowingly carried the weight of fear and self sabotage. Not the obvious kind… but the type that shows up as perfectionism, procrastination, overthinking, or “just staying safe.” It’s the kind of fear that looks like control but is really just protection… from disappointment, rejection, & failure.
And while I thought I was being smart, I’ve come to realize I’ve actually been protecting myself from the very things I desire most:
A meaningful relationship
Creative expression
Fulfillment in every area of life
It’s wild how we can want something so badly and still build walls around ourselves to avoid the risk that comes with wanting it.
In this video, I open up about how this has shown up for me in dating & in my creative work. I’m not sharing as someone who has it all figured out, but as someone finally willing to name what’s been holding her back.
If you’ve ever felt stuck…
If you know deep down you’re meant for more but can’t seem to let go and go after it…
If you’ve been hiding your full self out of fear of being “too much” or “not enough”…
Then this video is for you. You’re not alone !!!
Let’s stop protecting ourselves from the life we actually want. Let’s start choosing courage, even in the discomfort. Vulnerability might hurt, but regret hurts way more.
If you end up watching, I’d love you to ask yourself -
How has fear or self-sabotage shown up in your life?
Let me know and comment below!
