Summary

Insecurities can pop up at any time. We all have them and some of us use certain strategies to keep them at bay. One insecurity that can rear its ugly head, especially when we are in a group setting, is that around contribution. Sometimes we may hear our inner critic exclaim, “you’ve got nothing to contribute. Be quiet.” Typically, this is stemming from a fear of rejection or judgment. Working to fight off this insecurity can be hard but it’s essential to do so because we ALL have something to contribute. No, not in all situations or in all arenas. But we were all made to contribute to this world and it’s important to operate from this position so that your mind and self-esteem remain as healthy as possible.

LESSONS:
Remember, you are vital to the web of the world and positive affirmations can help you internalize a more stable and healthy sense of self.
Work on reminding yourself that what you have to contribute may impact those around you and the absence of your contribution could be felt as well.

0:00.0	Hey Spartans is insecurity getting in the way of your contribution.
0:05.0	What's up Spartans?
0:10.0	Dr. L here, your chief mind doc for Spartan?
0:14.0	We're at Spartan Mind, part of the Spartan Up Podcast Family,
0:18.0	and I'm here to get into your mind and clear it of all that junk that's in there so that you can perform better. your about insecurity and how that's impacting your contribution to the world.
0:36.0	Now we all have insecurities, right?
0:39.0	Some of our insecurities are just little, some of us have really big insecurities, but insecurities can
0:44.7	absolutely get in the way of how we engage with other people and how we engage with
0:49.8	the world and most importantly and related to today's episode how you contribute.
0:56.2	Because if you begin to believe a story that you're telling yourself that your contribution
1:01.1	to the world doesn't matter, then you are not going to show up fully.
1:06.2	And if you're insecure about your own voice and if you're insecure about your own position, then your contribution is going to hide, and you're not
1:16.2	going to let the world see what you have to offer.
1:20.0	So let me give you an example of that.
1:22.1	Let's say I'm sitting in a conference room
1:25.2	with a bunch of other psychologists
1:27.3	and we're all just sort of going back and forth
1:29.9	about a specific topic and maybe trying to develop a workshop or something of that nature.
1:35.2	And I'm noticing something about the workshop that I don't think would be a really good fit.
1:40.3	But if my insecurity around that is, well, I don't know that I should say this out loud
1:47.0	because they're not going to care or I probably don't know what I'm talking about or they're just going to think that I'm crazy or
1:56.6	laugh at me or maybe not do that outright but they'll definitely be doing it inside.
