Why Is It Hard To Tap Into Your Authentic Self?
For those struggling to find their authentic self, Tiffany believes it’s essential to focus on the one question or choice you’re facing. You know what you want, but fear gets in the way of making the right choice.
Sometimes, people let their fears get in the way of their options, and their hopes stay as dreams. When this happens, self-destruction suffers in different ways, such as overeating or insufficient sleep.
How Do You Determine What You Want?
Tiffany believes grace is the first step to determining what you want in your career or life.
When you have grace, it allows you to tap into your desires and push you to reach your goals. If you let fear or your ego get in the way, it puts more pressure on the choices you’re trying to make.
Three Ways To Quiet the Inner Voice
Tiffany shares three tips to help you quiet your inner voice when making difficult choices.
The first advice is to ask yourself what you are afraid of when deciding on something and can’t make a choice. Once you figure out what you’re scared of, ask yourself why. You’ll discover it hasn’t happened to you and likely won’t.
The second tip is to ask yourself if you have what you want. This will help you stop overprotecting yourself and clarify what you want.
The last piece of advice is to ask others for support. Family and friends know what you want too, because they listen to you talk. If you’re unsure about something, ask for their advice to help you decide.
Tiffany shares that this was how she overcame her negative thinking patterns and finally clarified what she wanted in her career and life.
Making decisions in life is never easy, especially when your inner voice says you can't do it. However, when you combat the negative thinking, you'll discover that you can do it and deserve the best in life.
Tune in to hear actionable tips on how to quiet the little voice in your head. Tiffany Houser shares wonderful advice to help you reach your goals and become successful.
"When you are graceful with yourself, you can tap into that thing, idea, or experience you want. But if you're caught up in the ego, you're beating yourself up or pressuring yourself into what you really want." - Tiffany Houser.
