You're not waiting to feel confident. You're waiting to feel safe from embarrassment or failure. Ask yourself what you're protecting yourself from when you hesitate, not whether the next step is right.
You don't lack confidence. You're just waiting to feel safe enough to do that thing you've been wanting to do. And you know what? You may not even realize that that is actually what's happening. And sometimes we call it just being strategic. I'm being strategic. But what it really is doing is protecting you from doing it in front of other people, protecting you from disappointing other people, protecting you from failing in front of other people. I know this because that was me for a long-ass time. Here's the question that I didn't even think to ask for a long time. Instead of asking, is this the right next step to take, ask yourself, when I'm hesitating from taking that step, what am I actually protecting myself from? Let me know in the comments, my peeps. Where do you notice yourself waiting for permission or proof instead of doing that thing?
