The anxious, scary, stressful moment just before you…
walk on stage
say the big important thing
send the email
make the call
write the new song
…that’s a thrill!
How many times have we all heard “I was nervous but once I got on stage I was fine”…and that’s great, I’ve been there too and I’m really glad we can settle into whatever it is we’re doing.
But don’t disregard that tension right before you settle into the groove. That moment where your senses are heightened, fully alert and alive, your mind is racing, you haven’t risked yet but you know you’re about to.
What a gift. That moment is your mind body and soul understanding that what you’re about to do is important.
Keep going.
(Thanks for the reminder, Seth)
***If it’s been a while since you’ve experienced this beautiful moment before the big thing, you might consider pushing harder, going bigger, risking more.
