305: Day 26 of 31 to Thriving: Nerves aren't a bad thing

So many people let nerves mean something about them.

They make it mean that they're not good enough.

They make it mean that they can't do something.

They lean into that feeling of nervousness and use it as a way to hold themselves back.

I still feel nervous quite a lot in business.

I feel nervous when I host an event, and I've hosted so many events over the years.

I feel nervous on the morning of my retreat, and I've hosted nine retreats.

I feel nervous when I start a new free experience, like 31 to Thriving.

I feel nervous when I start a new program.

I feel nervous when I launch a new program, when I invest in something, when I'm trying something new, when I'm doing something new with tech.

I still feel nervous.

And the truth is this.

Nerves prove you care.

I think if I ever get to a point where I stop feeling nervous, it's almost like I have stopped caring.

And I actually think it's a really good thing.

But I want you to be really mindful around how you feel when you feel nervous and what story you tell yourself.

Because nerves are completely normal.

Nerves are a good thing.

Nerves are your mind and body's way of preparing you for something.

It doesn't mean you can't do the thing.

It doesn't mean you shouldn't do the thing.

And it definitely doesn't mean that you're not good enough, not capable, not worthy, any of those mindset funky things that come up.

It very simply is you care.

You care so deeply about the clients coming into your world.

You care so deeply about the event going well.
