Feel safe to be you - Acting "as if"

We’ve already played the IF Game in my last blog, but now it’s time to step up and be the woman you were born to be.  Sounds easier than it actually is – this is true.  But I do know that every woman everywhere would be MUCH happier if she stepped up, got out of her comfort zone and started living out the person inside.  So here’s the way to tackle our number one obstacle – fear!!

Start acting as if you weren’t afraid.  Walk as if you were confident.  Talk as if you were the person you were born to be.  The secret is that when you start acting this way, you’ll eventually find yourself being this person!  Start small.  Act “as if” with just one action, such as the way you walk or perhaps the way you talk.  Then, once you’ve mastered it, move on to the next action.  This may sound fake or inauthentic to you at first, but the bottom line is that it does work.  Go ahead and try it – look in the mirror and commit to doing this, because the woman you are looking at is definitely worth it!
