Step 4 of 4 to Get Out of Your Own Damn Way and Embrace Your Friggin’ Greatness Already

On June 4, 2015, the first weekly episode of the Get Out of Your Own Damn Way Podcast aired with me sharing a bit of my story and how I got in AND out of my own damn way. Since then, I’ve interviewed guests from 8 countries across 4 continents around the world to find out how they have learned to get out of their own damn way too.

For those of you who don’t know me yet, my name is Krylyn Peters. I’m known as “The Fear Whisperer,” and my mission is to help female entrepreneurs and want-repreneurs tame their fear, embrace their greatness, and get out of their own damn way so they can create their mission-filled, heart-centered, soul-inspired business.

This is the second episode of my one-year anniversary series, where I’m sharing what I’ve learned from my podcast guests this first year.

Today I’m going to share Step 4 of 4 to Get Out of Your Own Damn Way and Embrace Your Friggin’ Greatness Already.

If you missed me sharing about Step 1, head on over to krylyn.com/krylyn-com50 or Step 2, head on over to krylyn.com/krylyn-com51 or Step 3, head on over to krylyn.com/krylyn-com52.

You might want to download the special worksheet I created to go along with this episode, “Accept Yourself to Greatness.” You can use it to dive in a little deeper into Step 4. 

[et_bloom_inline optin_id=optin_10]

Step 4: Plan for Greatness (Take Action)

It’s all fine and good to know, accept, and be yourself. But in order to do those things AND fully embrace the greatness you’re here to bestow upon the universe, you must TAKE ACTION.

You may have heard me say (once, twice, or a bagillion times) that moving through fear requires action. And let’s face it, when we’re not owning up to our brilliance, fear is involved in one way or another. But here’s the question I get asked all the time in one form or another:

What action should I take?

Ahhh, that is certainly the question, isn’t it? If you’ve been paying attention, I’ve sprinkled lots of juicy action-taking get-out-of-your-own-damn-way goodness in here already. But I know you want more. We always want more. We want to know HOW to do it.

Let me just warn you that jumping to action without first knowing yourself, accepting yourself, and being yourself is not going to yield the results you’re looking for. I can almost guarantee it. I’ve done it and suffered the consequences. My guests have done it. And I’m guessing you have too. We’re human. We want results now. But results come with clarity. And clarity only comes by doing the work. So GO DO IT.

The other kicker is that it doesn’t necessarily matter what action you take, just that you take action. I know…not what you want to hear. But you simply must do something different if what you are doing isn’t working. Not only that, you must stick with it and give it time to work without ditching it in a New York minute cause it didn’t kiss you the way you wanted to be kissed.

At a personal development workshop I attended in the mid 1990’s I remember the speaker saying something I’ve never forgotten…

If you plant vague, you’re going to grow vague.

That means, the clearer you are on WHO, WHAT you are called to do, and WHY, the easier it will be to take action.

Many of my guests and I talked about the Law of Attraction – the spiritual laws of attracting to you what you desire. Keep in mind it works both ways. If we are in vibration of lower energy (the stress, overwhelm, fear, stuckness, lack of clarity, etc.) then THAT is what we will attract. But if we raise our vibration to higher energy (love, acceptance, forgiveness, clarity, focus, gratitude, surrender, etc.) then THAT is what we will attract.

If you’re anything like me, you’re looking to open door #2 with that higher energy.

But we also chatted about the missing piece that isn’t nearly as talked about as manifesting dream homes, beach vacations, and money coming out your ears…and that is what is required AFTER you know what it is you desire.

When you call the universe in to do your bidding, you better be ready to get off your ass and do something when it answers the call.

That’s right. You must TAKE ACTION.

[et_bloom_inline optin_id=optin_10]

Here are just a few of the actions my guests have taken to get out of their own damn way:

  • Using affirmations
  • Being organized
  • Adjusting their attitude
  • Course correcting when things don’t go as planned
  • Giving to others
  • Practicing gratitude
  • Using humor
  • Journaling
  • Praying
  • Meditating
  • Resting
  • Finding the right support
  • Taking risks
  • Managing their time like a hawk
  • Being consistent
  • Asking for help
  • Following their intuition
  • Being honest with themselves
  • Taking responsibility
  • Forgiving themselves and/or others
  • Letting go of expectations
  • Trusting themselves

But you want to know the best action you can take RIGHT NOW to get out of your own damn way? It’s very simple.

Make the decision to get out of your own damn way.

Once you decide, the support, resources, and guidance you need will come. But you better be ready to act on it. No excuses. No waivering.

[et_bloom_inline optin_id=optin_9]

Step 3: Be Yourself

You’d think that knowing yourself and accepting yourself would be enough to fully embrace your greatness and get out of your own damn way. But you’d be wrong. A HUGE theme that came up as I interviewed my podcast guests was that of following the path we’re meant to take. We sometimes stay in a box without even realizing it – the box of the “good employee,” or the “good partner,” or the “good mother.” In other words, we’re playing that damn GOOD GIRL role we were cast in long ago, and letting it play out in every area of our lives.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying a good or great job, relationship, or family. But what I hear a lot is that while it may be a fantastic situation on paper, it just isn’t matching our vision for our lives. We long for more. Something’s missing. We’re being called to a higher purpose. And for many of us, that calling doesn’t go away simply because we’re enjoying our lives. What happens is that if we ignore the call, our lives begin to fall apart, making it less a choice we’ve made than an answer to a call we ignored for far too long.

Not being yourself can look like:

  • Having a really good life or job but not really being happy or satisfied
  • Trying to fit in a box of what is expected rather than what we truly want
  • Lusting after other people’s lives
  • Talking ourselves out of “going for it” because of what others might think

The path to true greatness involves being who you are. That means giving up the good-girl, people-pleasing nonsense that was ingrained in so many of us.

[et_bloom_inline optin_id=optin_9]

Here’s one way to shed that role:

  1. Let your light shine.

I’ve been categorizing different profiles of my clients and students for a while now, and I have to say the one where we hide in the shadows and don’t own our value is one of the biggest ones I’m seeing these days. I call it Wallflower Syndrome. Remember at the junior high dance those girls standing against the wall waiting to be asked to dance? Key word waiting.

How many of us are waiting for the time to be right, enough money to be in the bank, circumstances to be perfect, and the universe to line things up just so in order to START. It doesn’t even matter what you’re waiting to start. The point is…PERFECTIONSIM is keeping you from shining.

So what if things aren’t perfect? So what if you’re working full-time? So what if you weigh more than you want? So what if you’re juggling a million balls right now?

You are NOT your bank balance, your weight, your excuses.

You are destined for greatness and need to embrace that reality so you can stop feeling so miserable, dissatisfied, and unfilled, AND so that you can help others heal in only the way you can.

Be bold. Be brave. Be Yourself.

Take it from several of my guests who threw caution to the wind, made some bold choices, and just went for it…like Dr. Gregory Canillas, Kate Wan, Maria Allyn, Liz Dederer, Rev. Aliza Bloom Robinson, Puja Madan, and Nicole Lewis-Keeber.

Once we let our light shine, we can play a little…in the world of possibilities.

  1. Live in the possibilities.

As I was going through all my guest notes, I came across this theme of living in the possibilities and wasn’t quite sure where it fit in. It encompasses all four steps and is really more of an underlying theme or even way of being. So I thought it would fit in here nicely in the BE YOURSELF section.

What do I mean by possibilities? All those yummy, awesome-sauce, fudge-covered DREAMS and GOALS you have. It’s the place you probably lived in during at least part of your childhood – the part that got squashed as you got older and the “shoulds” took over.

The land of possibilities is also where our greatness lies. It involves creativity, fun, play, and all the child-like things we sometimes do silently in our minds when others are acting a hot mess.

It’s the dance like no one is watching and sing like no one is listening place. Full of YES and wonder and “what if,” rather than NO and “if only” and “yeah, but.”

Got it?

Now go there…what do you SEE, FEEL, and HEAR? WHO do you see? WHERE are you? WHAT are you doing? HOW are you helping those you are here to serve?

Take it from:

Derrick Kwa who asked himself “what’s the worst that could happen” before reaching out to some big name people in his industry who ended up helping him.

Stephanie Ghoston who said “I can do anything.”

Philip Dhingra who talked about the joy of missing out – JOMO.

In the last installment in this special one-year anniversary series, I’ll be sharing Step 4 to Get Out of Your Own Damn Way and Embrace Your Friggin’ Greatness Already.
