I went to a great women’s event and was fine talking to everyone EXCEPT for one woman, who was intimidating to me because she did such cool things. She was empowering women by helping share their stories.When I got home, I reflected on why I felt so awkward and why the conversation didn’t flow as easily as with the other cool ladies I chatted with previously (whom I also admired.) I came up with The Power of “Too” Thinking to help me and you flip feelings of being intimidated or feeling like an imposter when you’re in spaces and places with super cool, impressive people you admire! Rephrasing the sentence into a positive, affirming statement PLUS adding “too” allows you to create a bridge for your brain to see how it’s possible for you as well. I’m cool, too.I can figure it out, too. I can be that, too.I can do that, too.Once we realize that what we see and admire in others is often a reflection of the characteristics and traits we have ourselves, we can use this tool to create more possibilities in our own life and be kinder to ourselves.[Note. Please excuse the low-quality audio in this episode. It was not my intention. I was editing it while still sick, pushed an incorrect button, and voila...it is not my normal goal and I realized upon upload. I do love this content and concept and have chosen to keep it for that reason until I can re-record.
