#44 Storytime with Selina: Failing Forward and Tackling Fear of Failure & Judgment

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!
