1 | Practice Rigorous Authenticity
My mask is:
I’m holding back my unique perspective2 | Surrender The Outcome
I can’t control:
I have no control over what others will think, if they will laugh or think of me as stupid. I have no control over what goes around in their head about me or if they chose to be my friend. I also cannot control how sharing will make me feel, as I will replay conversations in my head over and over and beat myself up over giving the wrong impression or not saying things correctly. I also cannot control what happened in the past that may be speaking in my ear today.
I can control:
I can control what I chose to do with my feelings. I can control how I present myself and what I do with the things I regret. I can control if I use the resources around me to grow and become a better version of meyself.
3 | Do Uncomfortable Work
My Daily Reflection:
Have I been honest about my true thoughts/ideas?
My Mask-Free Action(s):
Affirmation: If I am in a room, I belong there. I will also write out my negative thoughts of the things I am not and counter them with what I am.
Why this matters to me:
I am tired of not feeling worthy. I am weary of playing and re-playing conversations in my head and beating myself up over all the things I could have done better. I even deleted my first Action Card because I thought I did it wrong. I can no longer fall into the downward spiral of self hate and un-worth. I am over being afraid of so many things and then getting angry at myself because I have no self-accountability. I want to be comfortable in my own skin, for once, and discover for myself what I really have to offer.
