Well, first of all, you need to identify what the goal is, and why you feel slightly uncomfortable about doing it in the first place. Have a think about if this is actually something that you really want to go for, and if it is aligned with your personal values system, needs, and long-term goals. If it is, and you simply don’t have the necessary confidence yet, then I would suggest writing out what you want to happen as a set-by-set plan as much as you can on paper first. If you wish to create a vision board also, this can be great. It doesn’t have to be super stylish and neat – it is just for you. Once you do that, you can try to visualize in your mind how you wish for it to happen. By imagining it you are getting your mind more acquainted with the thought and the situation.
Think about what your strong sides are in terms of your mindset, character, and skillset. Think about how this can help you in achieving your goal.
Consider why this is so important to you, what is it connected to, and what you want the outcome to be.
Talk to someone that you consider wise and trustworthy about this. You can reach out to a professional (such as a coach), that will be required to keep your topic of the coaching session confidential. Figure out why you are less confident about pursuing this for now. Where are you comparing yourself to others too much? What negative self-talk is bringing you down, or comments from others? Try to surround yourself with uplifting, inspiring, and positive people. Don’t give in to self-doubt.
Also, learn to be ok with not knowing everything, and understand that making some mistakes along the way happens to the best of us., so try to only take calculated risks. Figuring out how you can embrace those situations where you tried something and it didn’t work out exactly the way you wanted – try and see how you can flip that, and make it into your strength. This is very empowering.
