Overcoming Fear: How to Speak Up and Own Your Moment
Fear of speaking up, taking the stage, or stepping into a big moment can feel overwhelming. Whether it’s a presentation, a meeting, a social media video, or launching your next big thing, that inner voice of doubt can be loud. But here’s the truth: you wouldn’t have this opportunity if you weren’t ready for it.
In this blog, we’ll break down how to turn fear into excitement, shift your mindset, and step into service so you can show up confidently and make an impact.
Why Fear Feels So Intense (And How to Reframe It)
When faced with something big and scary, our natural reaction is fear—racing heart, sweaty palms, mind going blank. But here’s what most people don’t realize: fear and excitement feel exactly the same in the body.
Instead of saying, I’m terrified, try saying, I’m excited. This small shift rewires your brain to see the moment as an opportunity instead of a threat.
Key Takeaway: Your body already knows how to handle this—you just need to label the feeling differently.
Shift the Focus: It’s Not About You
One of the biggest mistakes we make when stepping into scary situations is making it all about us.
- What if I mess up?
- What if they don’t like me?
- What if I sound stupid?
But here’s the thing—it’s not about you. You are stepping into this moment to serve, inspire, educate, or impact others. The second you shift the focus from your fear to their transformation, the nerves start to fade.
Ask yourself:
- Who needs to hear this?
- What message am I here to share?
- How can I help someone today?
Key Takeaway: Step into service, not self-doubt. When you focus on impact, confidence follows.
How to Show Up Powerfully (Even When You’re Scared)
If you’re feeling the fear creep in, here’s a quick reset:
1️⃣ Acknowledge that you created this opportunity.
- You attracted this moment because you’re ready for it.
2️⃣ Reframe fear into excitement.
- Instead of I’m scared, say I’m excited.
3️⃣ Focus on service, not yourself.
- Shift your mindset from What if I fail? to Who can I help?
4️⃣ Take a deep breath and go for it.
Confidence is built through action. Show up, even when it’s scary.
