This distinction is a powerful one and you make it well, Christine. You are so right about the discomfort we feel as we go out there more. I’ve noticed this often with myself and my clients, and over the years I’ve trained myself to feel more comfortable with the discomfort of swinging out there more.
Thanks for another great article!

Christine, This is the post I’ve been hungry for. Thank you for, well, for being you–and putting truth in words and getting it out there. This is JUST WHAT I NEEDED AT JUST THE RIGHT TIME!

Excellent post, interesting and insightful comments. What stood out to me was the “people pushing against you” when you start playing bigger. It’s amazing how uncomfortable I can make other people simply by leveraging my own power of intention. Thanks!

I am a participant of Uplevel Your Business. The main reason I decided to commit to this program was to widen my playing field, as CK so wonerfully put it. I am coming up against my own blocks. What I am noticing about myself is when I get overwelmed, I go for a run. This morning I did just that. When I got to the place where I turn around and run back, I noticed just how much I place in my way that completely clutters the whole process…like my run. The whole first half I was consumed with “what if” thoughts are disarming them one by one. If I could just remove the what if’s and enjoy the playing field, how much more enjoyable life would be! I know I am recovering from hurts long ago that made me afraid to stand in and stand out in my own life. I am happy to report here, and to myself, that I am growing.

I’m getting used to standing out and standing in and would like to help others do the same. Life is too short to care what others think. I learned to set boundaries and keep things to myself. I only share things with “like-minded” people who will not “rain on my parade.” I’m really getting tired of people giving their advice when I didn’t ask for it. I’m more careful about what I post on my personal Facebook page. I’ve been connecting with myself for about two years. When I left the state of OH many people asked me “why.” I was sick and tired of being sick and tired; I needed a change. Now I don’t bother telling family and friends (more like acquaintances) what I do. I end up explaining which takes up time and oxygen! I have better things to do with my life.
