1257: What if it all works out?

If you’re anything like me, then you could get a gold medal in worrying, so today I’m flipping things on their head.

Episode transcript:

Good morning, Daily Peppers, and a very happy Wednesday to you. It is hump day. It is the last bucking Wednesday and hump day in January. And for today's daily pep, I really wanna lean into our creative superpower and lean into possibility. So I've shared before that I would easily get a gold medal in the Olympic sport that is worrying. Creativity is absolutely a superpower, but sometimes not for good. Sometimes our brain can just spiral with all the ways that things can go wrong, and we tend to use a hell of a lot of creativity and also mental gymnastics to get there. I don't know about you, but I can start off worrying about one thing.


And pretty much within 5 steps, I have predicted the downfall of my entire life and everybody around me, And it's actually pretty damn impressive. But here's the thing. If we can have that level of creativity when it comes to predicting all the ways things could go wrong and all the ways that we can make a tit of ourselves if we did what we really wanted to do. A, we've got a pretty epic creative muscle. And b, we can use that for the other side of things. Because what if things actually go okay? What if they go better than okay? I've had a lot on my mind this past month, and my word of the year is discomfort. And I have been really trying to tend to my nervous system and remind myself and dig deep into that inner faith that things will be okay. And coming out of January, things genuinely feel like they're gonna be okay.


And I think it has only been in even wondering whether there's a flip side of the catastrophe coin that has helped. And also reminding myself that things do tend to work out in one way or another in the end because they kind of have to. So if you're feeling a bit wobbly, if your creative brain is going wild with all the ways that all the things can go wrong, Listen to, dive into, and trust that inner voice and ask that question, what if it actually turns out okay? And on that note, I wanna give a quick shameless plug to something I created last year, which is really good at helping you tap into your inner wisdom. I did this mini course or mini retreat which is all about how to even hear that voice in the first place, how to harness it, and how to use it when your inner dream shutter is being extra loud. It's really helpful. It will give you an extra boost and I know that I've so long struggled to hear the voice of my inner wisdom and I'm sharing everything that really helped me. So if you wanna learn more, you can do just that by going to the rebel rousers.com/innerwisdom. And I really hope it helps.


So have a good one, happy Wednesday, and remember that everything changes when you believe you matter.
