Butterflies in my stomach… high in the Redwood trees


I could feel it coming on again. I was about to speak over 200 people about living their Best Life Ever and my heart was racing and I had butterflies in my stomach.  I was well prepared and I love the materials. So why I am having this visceral reaction? Why am I feeling under-confident?
My Lightbulb moment happened when I realized that the confident skills I have used in creating the materials and in other parts of my life can be used in delivering the fabulous materials. Let me explain…
I am a visual person – just as I visualized how the speech would be designed, I also visualized presenting the materials and creating positive energy in the crowd – from stepping onto the stage right through to the thank you.
Also, I shifted my perspective to one of ‘Cease the moment!’  I used this positive affirmation to keep me focused on this excellent opportunity to fulfill my life purpose - to inspire and guide others to live their best life ever.
Then I really listened to my body and realized that what I was experiencing was in fact an adrenaline rush. I used that fabulous energy to deliver my positive message!
Not long ago I stood 40 feet high in a California Redwood tree with the same butterflies in my stomach and I chose to leap into a world of greater possibilities and challenges. Here was my chance to use that confidence in my day to day life - so I went for it!
Having said that, I would love for you to say 'Yes' to enriching your life too!

All the best,
Eva-Marie
