3 Ways to Play Bigger in your Life and Work
I have been over here thinking about you and wondering something. Have you ever wanted to PLAY BIG in your life orwork? Have you ever wanted to feel more confident in everything you do or take bolder action and have a greater impact in the world through your work? Do you ever get tired of feeling “too old” or “too young” or “too lacking” in know how to do what you want to do? Are you exhausted with trying to please everyone else and you just want to do things for YOU for once in your life?
ME. TOO.
About eleven years ago I stumbled across the work of Tara Mohr. I was smack dab in the middle of a Dark Night of the Soul point in my life and she was literally one of the life lines that saved me back then. I took her course, applied all of the tools and then launched my business back in 2014. I now am a trained Playing Big Facilitator and use – and teach – the tools that I learned in Playing Big with all of my clients, students, and people in my life.
I occasionally still find myself wandering aimlessly in Playing Small so then I dust off my tools and apply them and VOILA… PLAYING BIG activates and me and my Wild Woman self are expanding and beaming light and lifting others along the way.
Use these tools when you are being called to do something outside your comfort zone and you are feeling TERRIFIED and even PARALYZED to make even a tiny step towards said thing.
If you relate to any of this, here are THREE TOOLS you can use TODAY to start playing big:
1. Get Curious: one of the very first tools you can implement is to get curious about the fear you are feeling. What is at the root of this fear? Do you feel like you don’t know enough? Do you feel like an imposter? Getting curious takes the charge out of the fear. It neutralizes it enough so that you can begin to manage the fear so that you can do the thing in spite of it.
2. Tap Into your Inner Mentor: I have a great guided meditation that I do with my workshop participants and my clients on how to visit your inner mentor – YOU 20 years into the future. There’s something very magical about visiting “future you” because they have already been through everything you are going through. They have 20 years of wisdom and they have 20 years of navigating life and work that they can share with you. It is an incredibly powerful exercise and will also neutralize the fear and make you feel quite fearless actually.
3. Reconnect with your Desire to Serve: This is such a huge one! I learned this from a few teachers along my journey of being an entrepreneur and just, well, being a person in the world. When we shift to being of service it takes the pressure off of us feeling like we have to perform. For example, if you wanted to be a public speaker and you want to start going to Toastmasters you might be terrified and your inner critic might be trying to stop you. This is a classic example of the inner saboteur or inner critic stopping you from playing big. If you shifted to a service mindset – in other words how can my speeches or my inspirational talks truly help others? If you really stay there in your intention suddenly it’s not a scary anymore because it’s not really about you! AMAZING!
These are just 3 tools from a loooooong list of others to help you and support your Playing Big Journey.
