This call is about going all in. Today's caller, Trevi, is uncomfortable taking risks because she fears she will not live up to her high expectations. I offer her tips about how to remove the obstacles that are getting in the way of her going all-in and stepping fully into her dreams.

Children need their parents and other people to feel proud of them. It isn't an ego thing. We all need validation. We need the feeling of pride. And, as children, we needed it from mostly our caretakers but if we didn't get it, it is imperative that we give it to ourselves.

 

You will be amazed when your little one inside, or that part of you that feels insecure, feels pride. Hope and possibility will fill you up. If you want to feel inspired, feel proud first. When you give your inner child what you need they will feel satiated and not hold you back.

 

It's okay to take risks and it's okay if you need reinforcement and reassurance before you take the risk. Some of us don't like risk and a lot of that has to do with our natural tendencies and our childhood. But if we don't take risks, if we don't keep trying, then we may never have awesome experiences. Don't be afraid to try or to be afraid of your future self and your high-expectations.

 

The last weekend of August, we are offering another Virtual Inner Child Workshop. This event is for those ready to do deep, internal work. The early bird discount of $100 off is available until July 31st. Visit ChristineHassler.com/innerchild or email Jill@ChristineHassler.com. If you can't attend the workshop in its entirety you will have access to it for 30-days.

 

Consider/Ask Yourself:

• Did you have something you want such as a career, relationship, or a move but you're scared to go all-in?
• Are you afraid of your high-expectations because you don't want to fail?
• What is your relationship to risk? Do you prefer to play it safe?
• Do you feel proud of yourself, not just for your accomplishments but for who you are?

 

Trevi's Question:
