Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

Are you nervous about something that's coming up?

Maybe you have to give a presentation,

maybe you're about to be interviewed,

maybe you're about to have a difficult conversation,

maybe there's just something that's been looming and the date is

nearing your calendar and you're like, ah, I'm nervous about this, I have nervous energy about this.

I can lie and say it's anticipation and excitement, but that's not how I feel

I feel scared.

Let me tell you this, my friend, unless I'm constantly a little bit scared, I think that

I'm probably coasting, unless there's stuff on my calendar coming up that makes me go oof got a repair for that oh I feel like this flutter of nerves in my body I don't know if I'm really going for it.

So my fear, that kind of constant always on,

feeling of anticipation, definitely feels like nerves,

is a great presence in my life

because it reminds me that I'm always expanding.

I'm not comfortable. I'm not just kind of kicking back

lying on the sofa eating, you know, nacho cheese joritos, much as I love to do that, I'm going for it, I'm stretching myself,

I'm uncomfortable because growth is uncomfortable, right?

Anything in nature, there's a growth phase, there are growing pains when you're growing up as a young kid. So this feeling

of not feeling completely relaxed, completely it is, it's good, it is a positive sign.

And I'm guessing that if you're attracted to the Let It Be Easy Podcast,

to my work in the self-help world,
