The Word Shift Series: TRY: Why Trying Keeps You From Doing | Ep 47
from More Than Dance · host Krissy Phillipino
When you use the word “try,” you’re giving yourself an out. It sounds like commitment, but it’s really hesitation in disguise. “Try” helps you avoid failure. It gives you permission to play it safe. It also keeps you from going all in and from learning what you’re actually capable of.Most of the time, try comes from fear of failure, fear of success, or fear of what it means if you really do it. It’s a soft no. It’s a question mark. It says maybe when what you actually mean is yes or no.In this episode, we’ll talk about: ⭐️ The difference between “trying” and committing ⭐️ How “try” masks fear and uncertainty ⭐️ What it means to replace “I’ll try” with “I will” or “I won’t” ⭐️ How showing up without leeway builds confidence and integrityI share a few real moments where I went into something with try energy hesitant, unsure, already doubting myself. My body didn’t believe me. When I shifted into do energy, I was grounded, focused, and fully in. Once you take this word out of your vocabulary, everything changes because now, you’re not half in. You’re all in.Follow:Krissy: @krissyphillipinoKDFSTUDIO: @kdfstudio
