Stop Apologizing and Do This Instead

Do you notice that you apologize often?

Maybe you say sorry for how someone else feels or if a friend had a negative experience, even if you weren’t involved in the situation.

These habits of over-apologizing are pretty obvious but what about the sneaky ways you are apologizing for being?

Have you ever received really great feedback on something you created but immediately felt a twinge of guilt and worry?

Suddenly you’re contracting and feeling like you’ve done something bad. Wondering who do you think you are to enjoy yourself and to be noticed for your talents?

The world gives us a lot of contradicting information.

Be successful and stand out!

No!

Hide; be small and safe!

And depending upon your childhood experiences/programming you will decide if it is a good or bad thing to be seen and acknowledged for being YOU.

Here a just a few signs you’re apologizing for your awesomeness:

*Deflecting compliments

*Hiding talents from others

*Hiding or downplaying any sort of success in business or personal life

*Even not speaking up at times can be an indication of playing small and a form of apologizing

Eye Opener: How do you feel when others are great at something?

Do you feel insecure, jealous, and perhaps judge them?

Does it depend on what they are good at?

Maybe it depends on how much attention they get and from whom.

Your true answers to these questions will help you identify some deeper beliefs that are keeping you from being seen and shining bright. 

If you’d like to have or experience something but you’re judging the shit out of others who have it you are most likely NOT going to let yourself have it.

Because you know the mean and nasty thoughts you’re thinking about people in that position.

Sometimes it’s as simple as just admitting how you’re thinking and that can change things. Other times you may need to open up to where did you learn to think that it's wrong for people to have certain things (It's usually childhood). 

Even if you don’t know where the beliefs come from you can simply choose to release that way of being and start a new story that it is a great thing for you to share your talents and who you be with the world!

Enjoy your week!

Remember you are abundant and you bring so much to the world by just being yourself.

I am grateful for you :-)
