EP246: You’re Not Bad at It. You’re New at It.

from Create Your Fate

“The reframe didn’t magically make me capable. It made me willing to find out what I was capable of.” — MegIn this episode:Recognize when “I’m bad at this” has become an identity instead of a factUnderstand how comparison can make being a beginner feel like being a failureLearn why action often creates confidence—not the other way aroundReframe the way you talk about yourself so you’re more willing to tryGet your free 7-day trial to the FateCreator life coaching app!How many things have you decided you’re bad at simply because you weren’t immediately good at them? We’re quick to label ourselves—bad with money, bad at working out, not creative, not flexible, terrible at public speaking—and then we unknowingly start making choices that reinforce those labels.In this episode, we’re looking at how the way you identify yourself can shape what you’re willing to try, why being a beginner can feel so uncomfortable as an adult, and how comparison can convince you that you’re failing when you’re actually just learning. You’ll learn a simple mindset shift for separating your current ability from your identity, why you don’t have to wait for confidence before taking action, and how giving yourself permission to try can reveal capabilities you may have already written off.Connect with Meg:Free 7-day trial to unlimited coaching tools!Follow Meg on InstagramFollow The Create Your Fate Podcast on InstagramTake your FREE Enneagram TestSubscribe to Meg's newsletterDisclaimer
