Send us a text Welcome to the Life and Path podcast. When was the last time that you did something that was scary, that kind of scary? That is something that you want to do, that it's worth it. That kind of scary one is the last time that you set up a challenge for yourself and you said, I'm going to do this. Today is the day. Did you meet that challenge? Did you come up to the challenge, get really close and then back away? Did you find some reason, some perfectly good reason that you shouldn't do it? Or did you cross over that threshold and do it? We're going to be talking today about crossing over that threshold and doing it and what is on the other side of it. And something scary that I did today coming up to that threshold of scary, that place where you're like, I could do it, I could do it. I'm not going to do it. Like, how many times have you come up to that threshold if you've passed it? What do you do when you pass it? Is there something else where you're coming up to the threshold and you're not passing it? What do we do when we get to that point where we're like, I could do it? What are the feelings that come up? Sometimes it's this unreasonable, like terror. Like, if I, if I post that, if I record that video of myself playing music, if I record that video of myself or social media I have been wanting to do, if I say that thing I've been wanting to say it's going to cost me right. Your body and your mind are like, No, no, no. Tomorrow, tomorrow. And it's so hard. It's so hard. Today I went past that threshold. I have been waiting to go live on TikTok. You can follow me at Life and Path. And when I did it, it was not a big deal. Like no one cared. I was full of adrenaline. I was shaking. I was completely red. And it's so funny because I've posted like, hundreds of videos. But the thought of going live was like, What's going to happen? What's going to be on the other side of that? Are people going to be mean? Is there something there? Am I going to be seen like there's a lot of things that your brain walks through in an effort to try to keep you safe? And so I decided, okay, I really know how to do this painting thing. Like I used to sell paintings full time, shipped them all over the world. I am getting back into it and doing it, and it's feeling really good. And I'm like, I'm going to I'm going to share that. I'm going to do some painting and I'm going to share my paintings and let's just do it. Let's let's talk about mental health. Let's let's share paintings. And so after a whole bunch of planning, I decided like, Yep, we're going live. We're going to do this. And I get everything set up and I'm looking at that go live button. And it's terrifying to press that button. I'm like, I don't know, I couldn't explain to you what I was feeling. So you know what I did? I, I was going to walk upstairs and just kind of walk away from it. And then I saw the cat and she was inquisitive. She just kind of wondering what I was doing. And I'm like, I'm going to I'm going to pick that cat up and I'm going to hold the cat while I press go live. So I picked up the cat. I picked up the cat and I pressed go live. And I just I was there with the cat. Well, it was doing its thing. So if you ever wanting to go live it, it starts like building an audience for you. And it takes like a minute, like 30 seconds to a minute. And so you're not sure what you should be doing. But in that moment I'm like, Well, hold my cat. Here we go. And so after about a minute, you kind of see like people start to join and like, your worst fear is like, people are going to be awful to you, right? Like, and how do you handle that? Because it's just it goes with that. It's part of the part of the game. That's what happens. But it just was like, okay, people are joining. These people are joining. People are leaving. I put on the cat. I pick up my paintbru
