075: Yapping to Camera Why 'Just Do It' Doesn't Work for Everyone

But it can be really difficult for people who are... either introverted or lack some of that confidence on camera or just you know the sorts of people who just dread that kind of thing and that can come out in the strangest of ways so for example you may be a bit like me I've never really had a confidence issue with doing it but I've definitely struggled sometimes with almost like overthinking it and even wondering like well why why do I even need to do it or you know I'm not very good at just doing things because it's what people do like following a jumping on a bandwagon I'm really not like that way inclined at the best of times and it's something I've battled with and I'm pretty confident if I've battled with it other people have so I really hope that this episode and this message helps some of you and myself as I actually go through this so what I'm thinking here is It's not that getting a microphone and putting your phone in front of you and sharing your message is necessarily that difficult.

Yes, I appreciate it really is for some people.

But if you're like, no, that's not the hard part, then welcome to my world.

That's not the hard part.

And I think I've identified why it can be really, really easy for us.

And we can also make it really, really difficult for ourselves.

And if you're like me, that comes and goes.

And so you'll have times where you just flow and it is easy.

And you have times where you feel so blocked up, it's like writer's block and you just can't squeeze any of it out.

If that resonates, then...

I see you.

And I think for people like us, there is a little bit of a step before the just do it.

Because just go and do it anyway.

I get that.

You know, yes, feel the fear.

Yes, I know it's difficult, but just going to do it.

And as they say, put in the reps and you just go and do and do and do.

And it gets easier and you get better at it.

That's true of anything, right? If you're learning to play a musical instrument and you...

practice every single day, even for 15 minutes, you will get better at it and then you'll be able to play that tune.

I get that.

That makes total sense.

But the big but here is we almost don't...

We get frozen up because...

We don't do this preliminary work.
