09: Overcoming Self Consciousness In The Moments That Matter


In this week’s episode I give you a really easy to follow process to handle self consciousness and why handling this can help with also overcoming comfort eating/drinking or lifestyle choices that are keeping you stuck too. There were a couple of Mic drop outs but hopefully it doesn’t effect your listening experience

I remember times when it would take me 3-4 hours to get dressed because I’d get stuck in a negative thought cycle about my body. So too in those moments that matter and self consciousness starts to take over. On reflection after recording this episode I think there is an element of self judgement in self consciousness - that inner critic gets super loud so if you haven’t already you might benefit from listening to episode 4: Quietening Down Your Inner Critic https://open.spotify.com/episode/20KPpmkOf0LAUjAJNb68OH?si=d729328990684edc. It can be useful to identity whose voice you are hearing too - yours, a family member’s, a bully (from work or school) society’s?


In this week’s episode I give you a really easy to follow process to handle self consciousness and why handling this can help with also overcoming comfort eating and drinking too. Important to say that HAES IS true, it’s what makes YOU feel the best that matters, within the consciousness of all the messages we are exposed to every day.


I cover

  • The impact of self consciousness and why it is a ’thing’ - the pressures to always LOOK a certain way. Identify where the discomfort in yourself comes from so you can tackle it head on
  • How you perceive others in relation to yourself? In the moments where you are not self conscious too, start to clock the thoughts you have about yourself in your day to day. When do you feel good? What have you done to achieve that?
  • How it can highlight your inner narrative about yourself - clock the moments you put yourself down or bring self consciousness into your experience of your day based on how you judge or size yourself up compared to others
  • What is TRUE about what you’re telling yourself? Challenge all the thoughts that come in to ensure you’re not unintentionally setting yourself up for failure :-)
  • Your self consciousness suggests something isn’t right about you - this is based on your perception of yourself. Give yourself permission to accept yourself right now, wherever you are
  • This won’t change overnight - commit! It’s worth i
  • Handling self consciousness before those pivotal moments eg before meetings, going live for your business, before auditions and presentations 
  • A process that you can use in any situation to calm spiralling negative thoughts about your body/appearance to calm self consciousness down
  • Stop
  • Ground Down
  • Breathe
  • Affirmations/Reframing
  • Decide on what you want to do/feel/be motivated towards/Your choice of next move
  • Takie action! Commit to that choice/action/motivation
