Are You Jumping in The Deep End? Stepping Outside Your Comfort Zone

Today, like many days recently, I have been jumping in the deep end.

Finishing courses, inviting women to my networking events, saying YES to DJ gigs and not backing down on my prices.

Allowing my body to just feel it. Feel that fear. Allow that inner child to get freaked out. Just like she did before going on that big fat ride.

Today… I went to a networking event, well out of my comfort zone. I had no time to work with my body on it, so I had a shower and went anyway.

…Sh!tting my pants scared

In the session, I allowed myself to express this feeling as I started my pitch, I allowed myself to feel every trigger word in that room, listen to praise given, and any feelings around not chosen too.

I allowed my body to shake and my jawline to tremble (just like when I started doing videos).

Then as the session ended. I allowed myself to feel that sense of relief as I left.

With tension burning in my mid and upper back, I decided to sit with my body, I allowed her to get upset with me taking her there, I allowed her to feel tears, and I allowed her to express that she felt out of her depth, that people probably didn’t like nor care for her.

I also allowed her to share what she was most afraid of…

Which was… being seen.

Being seen as she is (in that moment), and being seen like this is not confident as she felt it was a sign of weakness (a belief she holds).

As I listened and allowed her to speak, a clearance was felt in my body as my mid (around rejection) – upper back (connected to worry) eased.

At the same time, an inner voice came through…

‘Trina you did great today and you have done great as you are.’

What I was really afraid of, like many women (or men) was stepping outside my comfort zone.

Being seen and accepted as ourselves… no mask.

Just… we are doing this, I am not going home.

That, just for today, we show up risking rejection and that in itself is pretty brave, bold, confident and powerful.

Her reward for this bravery is…

A hot bath, blankets, a bit of TV and sleep
