fear of judgment

Today, I interview Matt Mueller, who talks about how he went from being a very creative child to facing the tough rules of grown-up life that often stop us from being imaginative. He shares important times when the fear of what others would think made him quiet his own new ideas. 

This story of change is not only about Matt; it's something many of us can relate to when we think about how often we've had to hold back our creativity because of the pressure to fit in.

Matt delves into the challenges he faced in his professional life, struggling against the urge to conform and reclaim his voice and creative spirit. He offers invaluable lessons on innovation, emphasizing the importance of mindfulness in the creative process, and introduces a simple yet profound framework for innovation, anchored in identifying real problems, crafting impactful changes, and securing acceptance for these solutions. 

Matt’s approach not only revolutionizes how we think about innovation but also serves as a guide for anyone looking to make meaningful changes in their personal or professional life. His journey from suppression to expression offers hope and inspiration to those feeling stuck in cycles of conformity.

What would change if you started treating your own wellness, aliveness and vitality as if they were really important things to nurture and to care about? 

Many of us go through our weeks and lives acting like our own needs don't really matter- that we don't really matter. 

We focus more on just getting things done and just getting through, instead of actually enjoying our time, tasks, activities and our lives.  Navigating life's ups and downs has definitely taught me that life needs to be more than just surviving- we need to be able to love our lives, so that when everything gets knocked over and the rug gets pulled from under us, we already know how to take care of ourselves, how to dig deep and how to rebuild a life that is worth fighting for.

 I've come to strongly believe that joy, ease, and authenticity aren't just lofty ideals but necessities for a truly satisfying, fulfilling life.  Join me as I open my heart and share how these experiences and share how they've shaped my approach to every day living.

Show Notes:
We often will consider our own excuses to be reasons because we don’t want to admit that we aren’t doing what we should be or that a mistake has been made. 

But honestly, it doesn’t matter what you decided to tell yourself to mask the truth, it’s still an excuse you are trying to pass off as a reason to avoid something you need to just find the courage to face. 

In the book of Joshua, God is raising up Joshua to take the lead, now that Moses has died. And God is telling him several times to not be afraid, to believe that God has led him to this point & has his back. God also reminds him to follow in the ways Moses taught him because these are instructions God gave to Moses. Basically, do what God tells you to do & everything will turn out as it should.

Joshua 1:9, “This is my command-be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

If you stay still too long, you might lack the experience & abilities needed to move onto that next season, the next level in life you’re supposed to ascend to. God is going to be there to help you with everything, but you STILL have to do the work.

Proverbs 13:4, “The soul of a lazy man desires, and has nothing; But the soul of the diligent shall be made rich.”

Desire to have something will only get you as far as your mind can take you. But that’s not enough to make it happen. You have to take action.

Here are your top 5 reasons that are actually excuses for why you’re not seeking any personal growth:

1. Blaming External Circumstances
   1. It’s common to blame the environment you grew up in or the environment you’re currently in for why you’re not pursuing personal growth.
   2. We also can blame other people in our life that we claim are getting in our way of seeking personal growth.
2. Lack of Motivation
   1. Instead of developing discipline we often lean on motivation to always be there to pick us up & keep us going.
3. Past Failures
   1. It’s reliving the pain that happened in the past & allowing those experiences to prevent us from trying again, whether it’s the same thing or something new.
4. Fear of Judgement
   1. It’s fear of judgment, other people’s opinions, and being rejected that prevent people from working on themselves because they are so wrapped up in worry & anxiety of the worst-case scenario happening.
   2. Proverbs 29:25, “Fearing people is a dangerous trap, but trusting the Lord means safety.”
   3. Galatians 1:10, “Obviously, I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant.”
5. Lack of Awareness
   1. Some people really aren’t aware that they should be working on themselves to become their best selves.
   2. Or they aren’t sure WHAT to work on.
   3. We should try to be working on something we know will benefit us. Just because there isn’t anything that is broken doesn’t mean there isn’t anything that couldn’t use a tune-up.

In this episode, I dive into the topic of failing forward and starting regardless of being bad at the beginning. I had some epiphanies while I was in my Zumba class… 

When have you stopped yourself from doing something because you were afraid you would look bad? Or afraid you could do it? Or afraid that you would fail? Or afraid that others will judge you? 

I have been afraid of all these things! I have extreme expectations for myself and I strive for perfection. This mindset has shifted for me but it is a work in progress. At Zumbia I had many interesting thoughts that turned into beautiful lesions. I had to suck at something in order to become better (the thing is referring to my dancing skills😂). 
 

Today I am going to talk about doing things while you are uncomfortable and that you might fail at but the importance of moving forward despite the result. WE all let our fears stop us from living our dreams. We are so afraid of failing and what others will think about you. It’s so IMPORTANT we don't let these fears block us from LIVING. Ask yourself what those fear are present. And what are things that I really want to do but haven't done because I am afraid? Make the choice to tackle these fear! You have to start the conversation within yourself and then take action! 

Topics Discussed: 

- Fear of judgment 

- Pushing yourself out of your comfort zone 

- Perfectionism 

- The importance of sucking

- Starting the thing

- Fear of failure 

- Comparison 

- Open Mindset 

- Failing fast and forward 

- Failure is important for success 

- Process of healing 

- Reflection and Action 

- Life is a choice

Welcome to the Limitless Mindset podcast, where we believe that your possibilities are truly limitless with the right mindset and outlook on life. On this episode, Blake is talking about something that's holding so many people back: fear of judgment.

This is the reality: You're going to be judged no matter what you do. Whether you play small or you go all out, people are going to talk. So stop letting other people's opinions and fear of being judged slow you down. You're not doing yourself or anyone else any favors by holding back.

You have value to offer the world, and it's your duty to share your skills, knowledge, and experiences with others. When you go big and push yourself to achieve greater results and goals, you inspire those around you to do the same. Don't let the fear of judgment limit your potential and impact. Remember, the people who are really killing it in life are too busy focusing on their own growth and success to care about what others think. So take that as a lesson and go out there and do your thing.

In this episode from The Sara Shabana Show I shared a personal story to hopefully resonate with you.

We are all born creative but fear holds us back most of the time. That’s why I discussed the major fears that accompany creativity and how we can live a creative life. 

Below are the key highlights from the episode:

• How we are all creative beings and have passions and ambitions to create.
• Why we let fear hold us back and how fear of judgment paralyze us from moving forward. 
• What are the common limiting beliefs when it comes to creativity and how we can reset that.
• What it really means to live live a creative life and how choosing curiosity can be our day to day choice.
