All my life I have concerned myself too much with what other people think of me! Yesterday I covered overcoming fear. Today, I want to tell you guys about the beauty of NOT caring what people think...as I try it for the first time.
I have been making fitness videos for instagram for quite a while now, but only about 50% of what I recorded actually gets used. I feel like that has been holding me back so much. I hate not liking what I see so much that I stop making videos for a few days because I’m so hard on myself. I’m so scared of what others think! It feels so good to record a video, edit it & upload it right away and not criticizing my body to pieces.
The last three days have been amazing, I have received the most warm welcome to the Steemit community. I’ve gained around 67 followers, had a short lived trending top post in the introduceyourself tag, my last post got upvoted 103 times, gave me a hefty upvote (thank you!!), and I have received the most encouraging comments EVER! What did I do to become so deserving for something that I wasn’t even going to create in the first place because of fear.
I woke up super excited this morning, I barely got any sleep last night tossing and turning and jotting down a bunch of ideas of videos I want to make in the future. In order to create the massive amount of content I want, I really have to let go of not only fear of being in front of the camera, but also stop caring so much about what other people will think. I want to motivate you guys to do the same.
I challenged myself to just pick up the camera first thing in the morning and just vlog, no matter what I looked like. I really like the way this turned out, I’m still very shy, and lose my train of thought but so far I am happy with the progress I have made internally. I know my vlogging skills will get better along the way, but for now I am still a Steemit infant.
Follow me throughout my first half of the day, where I vlog, make a video for instagram, and go to my studio for a short upper body workout and say thank you a million times.
