74: Fake it Until You Make It - Defeating Victim Mentality

"If I fall asleep at this exact moment... I will get 5 hours of sleep. Okay I can function on 5...  An hour later... Okay, if I fall asleep right now, I will get 4 hours of sleep. Better than nothing... Okay, its 6:00 am, can I please just get an hour nap? No? Oh, okay..." Have you ever been there? Battling with insomnia, depression, anxiety, or something similar? I get it. If you have been following my journey for a little bit, you know a little bit about my struggles with debilitating insomnia, anxiety, and depression. (to here my full journey to health, listen to episode number 1, Deidra's Journey. Things are much better now, but I am no where near a perfect record for consecutive nights of sleep. Of course, whenever a big launch, one-on-one session, or presentation is coming up for me... I...DON"T...SLEEP. Period.  I didn't sleep the night before my online live masterclass - where over 600 women had registered to learn my tips to looking polished and pulled together. I wasn't energized, I wanted to quit, and I wanted to be a VICTIM.  It is so easy for me to slip into victimhood, feel sorry for myself, and want to just curl up in a ball on my bed with a blanket and pillow. Have you ever felt that way?  Listen to today's podcast to hear my 4 ACTION steps and tips that you can implement to help fake it till you make it, defeat victimhood, and SHOW up for those around you as the person you need to be.
