Would anyone stay till the end of the movie of your life, or would they walk out halfway through?
In this solo episode, I share the game I've been playing lately: treating my life like a movie and choosing to be the main character, not the sidekick or the NPC things just happen to. We talk about main character energy, using the "act as if" technique to build confidence before you feel ready, and why being a little delusional is what makes a life worth watching. It's a 3-step mindset shift that gets you to stop living for the audience and start living for you.
If you've been playing it safe, waiting to feel ready, or living the version of your life you think other people want to see, this episode is for you!
In this episode we cover:
How to choose your character: getting clear on the goals, values and style of the person you actually want to be
Why acting as if is really just practice, and how your brain catches up to your actions
The four words that can change your whole life: "what if I just…"
Doing it for the plot, and why safe and comfortable makes a boring movie
How to become the watcher of your own life so failures stop defining you and start building your hero's journey
