Do you need approval?

Coach Tricia Dycka is my guest this week with something very close to every creative person´s heart: what others have to say about our creations.
Here´s her take on the subject.

"Do you need approval?

When a stranger approaches and asks the fated question: "So, what do you do?", you respond happily and chat away about your services and the transformation you provide.

Notice that it might be way easier to talk to strangers about your business than your family and friends.  Sometimes strangers are more interested and nonjudgmental of what you are doing.  It really does not affect them unless they want your services, whereas family and friends can have lots to say and not all of it supportive or shall we say even NICE.

Can you fully embrace who you are and are meant to be/become without the approval from others?  How often do you find yourself chasing it and still coming up empty?

Will you stop yourself in your tracks of following your passion because of the lack of approval?

I have asked these questions to myself especially when I realized what I wanted my life to become.  I realized that to this day there are several people who are in my life who really do not understand what I am doing and better yet ignore it as if it will go away.

Why did I want to bring this to your attention?   

Sometimes we create in our mind a situation that just is not even there. 

Perfect example - there were things I was nervous about telling my hubby in regards to my business. Well nervous is not the right word, how about petrified.  Afraid he will really see me for a freak and just get up and leave.

We go through change and this can alter our perception of life and what goes on around us.  As we open up to our gifts and focus on how we want life to show up for us it becomes clear what we will accept.

I was taking energy classes and realized this was allowing me to open up my awareness on how I saw life.  Through this lens my gifts were growing.  I was petrified to tell the hubby what I was going through and what I wanted to do. 

One night I decided "This is it", I choose to tell him EVERYTHING.  What surprised me the most was that he was not surprised at all.  He told me all my fear was just that, fear!  He loved me for who I am and whatever I choose to experience so be it.  I was not hurting anyone and not cutting chicken heads off so what was the problem??

The problem was I created this scenario in my head with a completely different ending.  Fear had me stopping doing what I wanted to do.  After that conversation everything just moves forward, fear creeps up and I still forge ahead full steam.

Next time ask yourself if you are hiding and why?  Are you looking for approval?  Will you stop yourself from what you want to please others?
