How to Stop Killing Your Dreams

One of the reasons we don't pursue our dreams in  life is that we shut them down before we even let ourselves have them.Why do we do this? When we don’t go after what we want, it’s often because we want to avoid potentially painful emotions or situations. Staying where we are means we get to feel in control. We don’t have to feel vulnerable, and we don’t put ourselves in new situations where we’re not 100% sure if we can handle what comes at us. It’s much easier to stay the same, even if it means we are bored or unfulfilled!  Today’s episode is all about exploring what you want and catching yourself before you talk yourself out of it. Some questions for exploration: What’s something you may want in life, but haven’t pursued yet?What are some reasons you’re telling yourself that you can’t pursue it? If those weren’t the real reasons, what else might be going on? What are you afraid of or worried about? How could you normalize those fears for yourself?Why would it be worth it to go forward, even if you might be afraid?Want to explore this more with a coach?
