We hear this one a lot. And, it’s half the story…⠀⠀
⠀⠀
But question often is, if there’s a clear direction we want to go, and a particular area where we want to be confident, what’s going on?⠀⠀
⠀
Why is the original “action” that’s required not happening?⠀⠀
⠀⠀
If we know the first reps would help us “build” the confidence, why is it as if we are still stuck in knee deep mud?⠀⠀
⠀⠀
The first few reps can only happen if we have the capacity to do them.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
If we have the desire, but these steps haven’t happened yet, we’ll, then we aren’t there yet…⠀⠀
⠀⠀
What can we do?⠀⠀
⠀⠀
1. See that this isn’t usually a mindset or information area, but a trust and nervous system one.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
2. Use practices to relax and strengthen the nervous system.⠀⠀
⠀
3. Use groups, frameworks or practices to increase the level of safety and trust in the action and environment.⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Action leads confidence for sure, and, if you’re stuck on the starting line, doing some of the work in self leadership can help the process begin.
