OhSnap! - SILENCING the silly little voices in our heads!

in #steemitbloggers6 years ago

Yesterday I did something which I swore I would never do - I got in front of a camera and did a #dtube snap post. Ok sure, I was actually only in front of the camera for a few seconds, but even that little bit of time took an enormous amount of courage... but it is amazing how liberating it is to stand in the face of your fears.

When I told my son Jude that I had been incredibly nervous to do it, he was most astounded! Incredible how they pretty much view us parents as invincible to a degree. And because he has made plenty of youtube videos himself on his own channel, he had a real understanding of what that nervousness feels like and I could see from his reaction, that it made him feel better within himself, realising that we ALL get scared to do certain things.

I am so glad that I did it! - and I will definitely do it again! - and maybe, next time I will brave myself through an entire minute haha... and then perhaps longer. It is silly really, how we "beat ourselves up" with our internal "chatter"... making us feel less than capable of doing things that in truth, we are MORE than capable of doing. Silly little voices in our heads... haha!

Anyway, on that note - thank you again to @iamjadeline, @happycrazycon and @kaerpediem for inspiring a little bravery within me and to @dtube and @nathanmars for inspiring MANY!

HERE'S WISHING YOU ALL A TERRIFIC TUESDAY!

I've learned that fear limits you and your vision. It serves as blinders to what may be just a few steps down the road for you. The journey is valuable, but believing in your talents, your abilities, and your self-worth can empower you to walk down an even brighter path. Transforming fear into freedom - how great is that?

You should do it again

Thank you :) I appreciate the encouragement :)

That why i'm here for :)

haha awesome :)

I saw your video and all I can think of is, wow, what a sexy voice! Yes, I've been accused of being a male pig more than once in my life but it was nice hearing your voice. Wow what a package, smart, attractive, passionate, and a smooth sexy voice with a foreign accent. I'm sold, and will continue to be a loyal follower.

Hahahaha stop sucking up for votes... :p

Juuuuust kidding ;)

And thank you :) it has been fun so far but completely nerve wrecking simultaneously lol

I know that one @jaynie! I have done a couple of videos and video interviews now for music mags and platforms but the first couple are so scary. But you realise that it is all in your head and in this digital world, it adds some human element to our blogs, what could be more important? And it often doesn't turn out anywhere nearly as bad as we think

Keep em coming 😀

Loving the positive vibes!!! Thank you so much. Means more than you know x

I learn from the kids too
This whole journey, first YouTube, then Steemit is really my kids' initiation
They wanted it so bad, and I tried to talk them out of it for a good 4 years since the boys were 6 and 7 (it's a long story)
And finally I said ok and initially they did most of "in-front" camera work, I did behind the scenes...

@mariannewest knows of my reservations even for selfies....
But here I am today

Never say Never :D
And please give us more, you will bring so much to the platform <3
Maybe I will cook inspired by you :)

MWAH x infinity!!! Thank you for being an inspiration xxx

@jaynie HI FIVES! Me too.

Conquering the fear within makes us a little bit stronger everyday, which compounds over time ❤

It sure does xxx

You were very brave for doing it, Jaynie. And so many people appreciated it.

Your son is your biggest fan, but we’re cheering for you too! <3

Thank you so much for your kind words x aaand all the encouraging support x

A simple, but profound lesson in courage.
