Your Unstuck Anthem is:

“Shake It Off” by Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift

You’re caught in the spotlight effect, worrying too much about what others think.

You’re passionate about helping others, but that fear of judgment is holding you back.

It’s time to let go of the spotlight and focus on making a difference. Shake it off and shine bright!

Your Unstuck Anthem

While you might not have as many “haters” as Taylor Swift does, the Spotlight Effect can make it feel that way. It’s time to live these lyrics so you can make a bigger impact: 

“The haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate

Baby, I’m just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake

I shake it off, I shake it off”

Remember that you have and will continue to help people so it’s a disservice if you don’t share your gifts with those who will benefit and appreciate it.

Signs You're Stuck:

  • Famous Fallacy: You’re worried that by sharing your thoughts/ideas/services with others you’ll have to put yourself out there in a way that celebrities do. 
  • The Inner Critic: You constantly worry about what others might think/say/do, leading to fear of judgment and social anxiety.
  • Rumination: You replay social interactions in your head, analyzing every word and action.
  • The Perfectionist Trap: You avoid putting yourself out there because you’re afraid of making mistakes.
  • Excuse Machine: You procrastinate on tasks due to fear of being in the spotlight.

LET'S GET YOU UNSTUCK!

Confident Action Step 1:

Create what I call a “Smile File”.

It can be a folder on your computer, a note in your phone or whatever you want. The key is that you capture kind words and compliments so you have them ready for when Imposter Syndrome kicks in. Any time someone says something nice, screenshot it and put it in your Smile File.

Confident Action Step 2:

Ask yourself “what is the smallest step I can take today to get me one step closer to my big dream?” 

This is a micro-step, something you can do in the next 10 minutes. The key is to take action immediately so you can kick-start your momentum. 

Examples: 

  • Telling someone else about your big dream and actually saying it out loud
  • Declaring a launch date for your podcast & actually committing to it
  • Buying the website URL you’ve been thinking about 

Small steps lead to big results but you have to get started, you can’t stay stuck worried about what others will think or say.
