Has anyone ever said one of these statements to you?
"Just get on video"
"Just make the call"
"Just ask for the raise"
"Just invite them to the event"
"Just send the proposal"
"Just publish the sales page"
"Just share your pricing"
"Just ask for their support"
"Just tell them what you're feeling"
"Just ASK for what you WANT."
Have you ever talked to yourself like this?
How'd it go?
Did you "JUST" do it?
Or did you freeze, procrastinate, change your mind, talk yourself out of it, and/or wait til the deadline passed?
WHY?
Because those things you're JUST trying to get yourself to do aren't JUST simple things.
Here's what you're really being told to do through those statements:
* JUST let yourself be objectified*
* JUST stop being humble*
* JUST embrace potential failure*
*JUST be vulnerable with someone you don't fully trust*
* JUST feel comfortable handling success*
*JUST be willing to be disappointed*
* JUST open yourself up to judgment, rejection, and persecution*
* JUST let people misunderstand you*
* JUST decide you are worthy of receiving*
JUST let other people SEE and KNOW you, without having CONTROL over their response.
And that, my friend, is not JUST anything.
That is some deep, dark, scary stuff.
The terror of getting visible and then being HURT is the core reason most people don't show up as their full selves.
Whether it's on social media, in bed with our partner, in our boss's office...
Or even in our own journals.
Letting others really SEE us...
Heck, even really looking at OURSELVES.
It's one of the scariest, most vulnerable things we can do as humans.
So we don't ask for what we want.
We don't let ourselves be exposed to the uncertainty of it all.
But here's the rub...
Connection to ourselves and with others happens through being SEEN.
It's how our deepest desires are realized.
It's how the experience becomes more important than the outcome.
It's how life is truly LIVED.
So... how do we feel safer being seen?
Glad you asked -- because I want to show you.
