quantum leaping your confidence by taking more risk by becoming a risk taker.

And the reason why This episode is about it, about becoming a risk taker to quantum leap your life and your confidence is because lately, lately I've been feeling this feeling of just Wanting to become a risk taker again. I still consider myself to be a risk taker. However, I have realized that, maybe like within the last two years, I've became a little bit of a play a safer. And the reason why I shared in a previous episode where. You know, I used to thrive off, off of taking risk, risk in my life. I loved it. I took pride in being a risk taker. One, because I saw how, what being a risk taker did for me, I want, it helped me get out of being the shy girl. And so many other things with starting a business and being able to stay home, my daughter, right. I see what, saw what those things did for me. And I also saw how. It inspired people who was around me. However last, no, not last year. Oh yeah. I think it was like close to the middle of last year where I started, I took a risk and I started to feel like the risk that I took wasn't. pain off like it used to. It actually felt like things were just not going my way whatsoever. And what happened is I actually started to feel kind of resentful towards that part of me, resentful towards being a risk taker, resentful towards me Be being somewhat irresponsible. I kind of resented that part of me and I felt shame and I felt mad at myself. And I started to tell myself you know what, I can't do this no more. I cannot be a risk taker no more. Right. So I'm just going to play it safe and do things the right way. But. Lately, I've been feeling this burning desire, this like part of me that I feel like it's been missing, has been missing from my life. And I realized what that is, is being that risk taker. Being that younger version of me I miss that. And there's so many reasons why I miss that. is like craving to come out. And I think it's because. Number one is I'm realizing how it's actually not pouring into my confidence whatsoever. I don't see playing it safe, pouring into my confidence. I actually see it taken away from my confidence because it's not allowing me to be as courageous as I used to be is me. Being more safe and more like, Ooh, I don't know if I should do that. If I do this, then maybe this can go wrong. You know, just those doubts that start to creep back in. That's what's been happening and what I've realized with playing it safe, it caused me to be a little bit more restrictive of myself, of my free self, of who I was, who I used to be so much. And like, I miss that version of me. I miss being that risk taker of me. And so with me studying quantum leaping, what I've realized is that quantum leaping requires you to actually be a risk taker. And as I'm studying this, it's like, Wow, I can actually see the proof in that because I can see it in my past life. I can see it when in my past experiences, I mean, like I can see all the moments, all the little moments that I quantum leap to a next level, to a newer version of myself because I didn't play it safe. Because I decided to bet on myself. And so what I want you guys to get from this episode is I want you, To start welcoming and more risk in your life. Because it is, is going to quantum, is going to quantum leave your confidence, is going to bring out new parts of you that you would never even know unless you took a A risk. It would bring out things that you didn't even know you were capable of unless you decided to take a risk. So before we even get deeper into the episode I want to invite you guys if you Love this if you want to pour more into your confidence and more to take in a space Then I invite you to join the life course that I'm teaching right now, impact and attract.

Alrighty. So let's go ahead and get back into the episode. I'm so excited to talk about this guys. Oh, this makes my heart so happy. All right. So why is taking risks so important? Number one is because risk, it just pushes you out of your comfort zone. You never know who you can become. If you stay put right, you never know who you can become. If you stay comfortable, you never know the things that you can do. If you sit in comfort and you stop yourself from taking risk in your life, you just, you never know. And like I was saying before, risk, what it does, it opens you up. It opens you up to becoming available. To a newer version of you. It opens you up to receiving newer versions of you or a different life than you ever could have expected. It opens you up to receiving more because you're not so restrictive. Being a risk taker, It places you into more of an X expansion kind of place. It expands your, mindset because taking risk is going to challenge your mindset. it expands your opportunities it helps you become more fearless. You become more fearless and going after things that you want, going after, becoming the version of yourself that you want. There was a time where I didn't fear, I didn't feel any fear towards, you know, entrepreneurship or, you know, just doing things that I wanted to do until I had that. huge setbacks. For me, it was a setback. And it felt like a failure. But you know, that goes to show you with that example is that you can't take your past and project it into your future, right? Because it's going to just stop you from moving forward. It's going to stop you from taking more risks. It's going to stop you from being more fearless. The second reason why taking risks is so important and is about this whole entire episode is because quantum leaps it requires you to become a risk taker. The reason why is because When you are a risk taker Sometimes that means being a little bit illogical, Going against the grain doing something that is different, doing something that is not expected of you. Doing something that doesn't make sense to other people, and it maybe don't even make sense to you right now, but. You just know you just have to do it, right? And so one example that I can give to you by what I mean, how maybe it doesn't make sense to others right now. It may not even make sense to you is. There was a time I was just straight out of college and I was working a retail job. I hate it. I hate, I never liked retail, never liked retail. And I was looking for work and I got into this interview and I didn't know what it was. Right. They kind of lied to get you in there, which is true. And what I realized it was network marketing. It was me working 100 percent commission. going to be me going door to door. It was going to be me selling things and not have that safety net. So in order to play it safe, right, what I did trying to be the smart version of me, you know, I had had a baby at home. I didn't want to be stupid. I said, okay, let me give you guys a try, but I'm still going to keep my job that actually pays me my retail job. And they were okay with that. And, within like two weeks of me doing it, I kept feeling this pull kept feeling this pull, like Just go all in, just do it, just go all in, quit your job and just do it. And it was literally one, my, the first scary time in my life where I was taking a risk that did not make sense. Why would I give up a job for a job that was 100 percent commission? when I had a child at home, why would I do that? That shit did not make sense to me. Excuse my language. It didn't make sense to go and knock on doors to go and sell, Like it did not make sense to me and to trust and believe in what the, the marketing company was selling me to trust that it did not make sense. But guess what? I was like, you know what? Let me listen to myself and what's the worst that can happen, right? So I went in and I quit and it was the scariest thing, but man, oh man, it was one of the most exciting things ever that I ever did for the first time in my life and what happened already instant level up mindset. Okay. Quantum leap me because I pushed myself out of my comfort zone. It did not make sense. But what that did for me? by leaving that and getting into the network marketing program, what did I do for me? One that gave me an entrepreneur mindset. Gave me an entrepreneur spirit. I always knew that I hated working for people, but I didn't realize that it was possible until I got into that network marketing company. So one, it brought on another version of me too. I had to push myself to knock on doors. That means I had to get over being shy. And number three, I had to learn how to public speak. I had to have meetings. I had to build a team, It brings out different levels of you. It doesn't make sense. I was told I was crazy, but guess what? Sometimes That is what risks do, right? It's sometimes it doesn't make sense and quantum leaps requires that you sometimes have to be illogical. So can risk be scary? Hell yes. Like I said, I was so scared. I didn't know what I was doing, but I was so excited, right? Sometimes you just don't know what's going to happen, but all you have is a little bit of hope, a little bit of action and a little bit of expectation, right? That's where confidence come in. That's where that faith comes in with, you know, believing in the unseen. You just never know. So, how can you become, a risk taker. How can you quantum leap your life with risk taking? Let's get into the steps. So number one, and this has been one that I've been doing a lot of inner work in. And that is, releasing that attachment or identity of being responsible, being a responsible person. I do feel like as we grow into adults, right, mid, mid, like mid twenties to late twenties, we Maybe some in teenagers as well, which it makes sense. However, we've received these messages of, we need to be more responsible. Right. But what that does, it, it, it puts us in a. A mindset of okay Fun is over, especially when we begin to enter like our 30s. It makes us believe that we can't do, you know, courageous things anymore. We can't have, we can't be risky anymore, right? Because now we have responsibilities. Now we have to be this responsible adult. We have to start following the pattern of all the other responsible adults. So what happens is that we actually become more fearful and less fearless, right? We become fearful of making mistakes. We become more fearful of stepping out of bound and not wanting to disappoint. Because of all the responsibility that we have now. And what that does, what I feel like that does, especially for me when you are heavily focused on being this responsible person. That you have to make sure everything is taken care of that. You can't step out of place that you have to do everything the right way. Or, you know, you're going to be punished for, not being responsible or things are going to go wrong when that happens. One, what I realized is start making it starts to make you feel that responsibility is a burden, And it actually takes away from the enjoyment of having certain responsibility because the responsibilities that we have are Good, right? Especially if we're parents, we have the joy of taking care of our Children, right? That's a responsibility. If we have a home, our responsibility is to pay bills if we are in to clean the house and whatever. And we have a car. Responsibility is to make sure that the car is taken care of, right? All of these responsibilities are good things are good things is things that we should be grateful for. However, when it doesn't allow you to enjoy, when it doesn't allow you to take risks in your life, it is very easy to start feeling like these responsibilities are a burden and that's what we do not want, right? That's what we do not want. And so just yesterday so on Mondays I don't work, I don't work on my business. I don't do any kind of work. Housework, right? So I try to take care of my personal things. That one day that I do to do self care and, do my finances and, and, while I was doing it, I felt it felt so dreadful to think about going to do laundry on this one day. And I was just like, you know what? Like, I don't want to be responsible right now. I just want to go shopping and that's what I did. I got up and I was like, I'm going to go shopping because this feels more fun. Why do I always got to be so responsible? Right? It, it just, it takes the joy out of things being this responsible person. And sometimes it doesn't allow you to play. It doesn't allow you to feel free. It actually sometimes make you feel like you are in chains when you feel, when you feel like you have to be responsible. Being responsible is important, right? This doesn't, when I talk about being a risk taker and quantum leaping your life, being a risk taker, I'm not saying that you have to be super careless with your life. I'm not saying it's a goal to the casino and blow a whole bag on, on, you know, on. On gambling and and hoping that the risk that you're taking right now is that you're gonna get a whole lot of money back Like that's not what i'm saying, right? Don't be careless You know That right there is kind of crazy but being a risk taker looks more like Like I have this deep desire to Invest in myself. I don't know if this program is going to work out for me, but. I'm going to do it anyways, I'm going to take the money out of my savings and I'm going to invest it in a course because what if, what if it works out for me. That's the kind of risk that I mean, that quantum leaps your life. Not like I said, not go gambling all your money away, taking 20, 30 K of savings out of your bank account to go risk it. That may be crazy, but risking things that can potentially pay off to just make your life better make your life better, whether that is business or personal, relational, whatever it is, you just never know. It can look like putting in your two weeks notice at your job because You want to risk? Maybe you're maybe your business is going to take off because now you have more time to work on it, right? That's what risk can look like. Those exciting risk is scary risk. It makes you very uncomfortable. It makes you nervous. It doesn't make sense. It doesn't look like the most logical thing, but you want to risk it. You want to risk it. And one thing that I actually didn't tell myself this back then, when I was younger I never used to think like, Oh, I can bounce back. Like if this doesn't work out, like I'm gonna be fine. Like I actually wasn't thinking that I wasn't thinking that whatsoever. But now When I think about all the quantum leaps, all the risks that it took, if it didn't work out, like I was going to be alright, I was going to bounce back and same for you, right? Any risks that you are desiring to take right now, if you have this deep desire and you feel like, oh my gosh, I don't know. I feel so scared to take this risk. What if you took it and it worked out, but what if you took the wrist and it didn't work out? What's the worst that can happen? Are you going to bounce back? You can bounce back, right, because there is nothing that we cannot come back besides death itself, We can always come back from risks that we took. And so this kind of brings me into the next step and that is learning how to get into your body and remove all the logic. So as I'm studying quantum leap one of the biggest things is following your desires, following your body, following your intuition. And just allowing your mind to catch up, Because our body, our body knows what we want. We get this amazing creative idea. We get a business idea. We get excited and we want to start it. But then what happens is we start thinking too much about it. How long is this going to take? Can I do this? I never really seen it done before. Are people going to like it? I don't like how I look. I don't have enough money. How am I going to balance my family and this? You created so many limited beliefs and self doubts because of all the logic that started to happen because of all you got out of your body and you begin to focus on the logic, follow your desires and let your mind catch up. What that looks like is just doing it, just doing. Sometimes we just have to stop thinking and just allow ourselves to just do right. Because the thinking part, the thinking part. is what stops us. Yes, thinking is important, but body first, right? The thinking is what stops us is thinking it goes back to, Ooh, I did that before and I failed, but That's what's gonna stop the quantum leap. That's what's gonna stop you from being the risk taker that you can be and actually seeing the results that taking this risk can actually do for you. Okay? Like sometimes we just have to stop thinking and start doing. Follow your desires because your desires is what is is the things that excites you. I remember with all the risks that I took being excited, And honestly, I don't even remember having much doubts. It was just more so like, let's just do this. Like, let's just give it a try. Right. Just doing it. I don't know if you guys listened to like Abraham Hicks. But she always talked about like following the path that makes you feel so excited. That makes you feel excited because when you follow that path, that means that your intuition is guiding you. But the thing that we have to get rid of is that doubt right In the book that i'm reading where i'm studying quantum leap. What he says what he quotes is that? If you must doubt anything, doubt your limits. If you must doubt anything, doubt your limits because what's gonna happen, all the things that's going to come to your mind is what can't you do, But don't doubt yourself. Doubt your limits. Every belief that makes you feel restrictive, that makes you feel like you can't do something that makes you feel stuck is a limiting beliefs. That's how I know like, this is limiting me. I can tell when I have a limited belief. And that is when. It's stopping me from doing something. That's when I know I'm carrying doubt. That's what happens when you allow yourself to focus more on a logic and get yourself out of your desires. So what I want you to do is learn how to connect back to your body and ask yourself, one, does this excite me? Does this feel good? Does this feel like I can do this or does this feel, make me feel like I'm restricted? If that is the case, then lucky you, you just became aware that this is a limited belief. And what I love about this, what I love about getting back to your body and learning to remove all logic is this is you connecting back to your inner child version of yourself. Which is another step. Quantum leaping your life by taking risk is connecting back to that inner child version of yourself. When we were younger. We had. Confidence. We have pure confidence, right? We were connected to the most purest, most confidence, highest version of ourselves. However, as we got older, of course, we end up, you know, creating our own limited beliefs. We also took on other people's limiting beliefs about us. And we just kind of allow that to shape how we show up, shape to shape, how we are. However, I talked about this in another episode of how you already have confidence and it's because that innate confidence as a child, as a baby, even from a baby, right? When a baby is learning how to crawl, when a baby is learning how to walk, what are they doing? They're getting up. They're doing it again. They fall, they get up and they do it again. They fall again, they get up, they do it again. They don't stop. They're not thinking, can I do this? They're not thinking, am I confident enough? They're not thinking I look stupid. There's none of that. That's innate confidence. That's more about doing, doing than thinking is back to, again, getting back into that And removing logic, right babies. They're thinking about rainbows and stardust. They're not, they're not thinking there's this rainbows and stardust floating around in their mind. So they're just getting up and just living their life. And they're becoming, they're, they're becoming who they're supposed to be. They're supposed to become crawlers. They're supposed to become walkers, right? They're supposed to do these things, and they're doing it. This is why children, right, they're able to develop so much faster than adults. It's not because we can't as adults. It's not because we can't. Because we can't also develop quickly. It's because of the thoughts, They're not thinking, can I learn this new language? They're just absorbing it because half the time, let's say we were learning a new language we're learning, but the other part of our brain is thinking like, Oh shit, I can't do this. Right. I can't do this. This is hard. We're thinking that and we're trying to learn at the same time. How does that work? Right? It doesn't when a child is learning how to learn another language. They're just absorbing it. They're not thinking about anything else This is the reason why they can they can improve faster is because they're just in their bodies. They're just receiving They're just following their their excitement of doing doing and You You know, becoming who they can be and who they were created to be, which is people who can develop into more and more and more, right? They're not reminding themselves of how many times they fell and how many times they embarrass themselves. Thinking about that. So quantum leaping your life is really you connecting back to that child, like version of yourself, right? Children, teenagers. Even though they're thinking, even though as a teenager, they started developing limited beliefs and things like that, but they were more risky. They were more carefree, you know, not worrying about responsibilities. And yes, again, we all have responsibilities. Responsibilities are a good thing, but when you allow it to restrict their life and make you feel like you can't take risks, you can't do this. That's when it slows you down from quantum leaping your life into a new levels to the higher level that it can go into and to becoming a more confident version of yourself. But. that play like version of teenagers, the confidence that they have with just trying something, Not all teenagers. We know as we were teenagers, right? We have, we got into insecurities and things like that. But think about those cocky, confident teenagers that are out there just taking a risk and not caring. That wasn't me, but when I entered my twenties, once I allowed myself to enter that network marketing program. Oh, that opened the door and said that risk is okay. Risk is fun. Risk is exciting. I'm available for risk and I don't care what anyone thinks. And so this is what brings me to my final step into how you can quantum leap your life with taking more risks is this is so important. Is. Removing that good girl mask, This ties into holding onto like responsibility and wanting to be this responsible person, but it's about like, just not giving a damn, not caring. What your mom has to say, not caring what your partner has to say, because you're doing something a little bit more risky. If you have this deep desire on your heart and you're thinking, Ooh, I don't want to disappoint. Like, for example, people who drop out of college because they have this deep desire that, you know, they want to start a business or they want to start something else. And they know that this isn't the path for them and they do it because they want to make them happy. They're not trying to please someone else. They want to please themself. They want to make themselves happy. They're allowing themselves to remove that. Be a good girl, mask, make me proud, mask, There are more worried about how they feel about themselves and versus about How, you know, their parents, what their parents are going to think, even if you ever heard of so many people who dropped out of college and you know, their parents disowned them, they don't want to talk to them. They're embarrassed or people who get jobs in certain fields. They're embarrassed. Their family is embarrassed. They don't want to talk to them, but it just lights their heart. It makes them so happy. They decided to not care. They decided to remove that mask and say, you know what, I'm going to remove this mask and I'm going to bet on myself. I'm going to take a risk. And guess what? They quantum leave their life. Maybe they didn't quantum leap their life financially. Maybe that quantum leap didn't look like, they became super, super successful with what they went after. But that quantum leap was, Inward, They become a more, they became a more confident version of themselves. They became a new, different version of themselves, a person that they never even thought was possible, a person that can bet on themselves. And then for the people who did become like wildly successful, they brought out a whole new level of themselves because they took that risk and they decided that they were done. Being a people pleaser, they were done trying to please their family members. They were done trying to please anybody. This is how you quantum leap your confidence by taking risks. You remove that good girl mask. You release your attachment to being this responsible person, you get out of your body and you, I'm sorry, you get into, you get into your body and you remove all logic, allow your mind to catch up. Sometimes you have to be a ilogical follow your desires, lead with your body, lead with your intuition, follow the excitement, Connect back to that inner child version of you and. Just be and do and take that risk is so free. And it's something about just being free and you guys know how you guys know how ease and free is my two words like for the year. And so like, I just became aware of that just now, how. Losing that attachment to, that I started recently having this attachment to being the responsible person. that's Why I felt so restrictive. That's why I've been feeling this deep burning desire to just set myself free. Free from that attachment, free from that identity. I know I'm a responsible person. I know that I can take care of things, but I don't want that to hold me into restraints. I don't want that to keep me on lock and keep me from taking risks because those deep desires that you have is is waiting is waiting for you to Become a little bit irresponsible and so freaking wide, right? Not saying go again. Not saying goes spend all your money on something or You know, whatever but who cares if you wanted to do that? Guess what you can bounce back, right? There's nothing you cannot come back from besides that itself. You can always come back. Even if you blew all of your money, you can always come back because you, you will always be the best risk. You will always be your best investment on yourself. You will always taking a risk on your dreams, taking a risk on your desired life. It will always be worth it, always be worth it. Even if you failed, even if you get setback, even if you feel embarrassment, I encourage you to Not allow that to stop you to not allow that to stop you for from taking risks again Because it stopped me and I no longer want that. I released that. I am not available for being a non risk taker. I love taking risks your confidence Loves you taking risk. Risk is that inner child in you, That scary thing. She wants you to take risks. She wants you to step out of your comfort zone. She wants you to do something scary, something illogical, something that doesn't make sense. She doesn't need you to go step by step by step. She wants you to just jump, That's the in a child version of you. She wants to be set free from perceived constraints that we are putting on ourselves. Some things are not even real restrictions. We just put those on ourselves because we think we can't do something because we think this is restricting us from doing something. Your, your confidence, your in a child want to set yourself free. You will thank yourself because you will quantum leap. Quantum leap in your life Requires you to take risk in your life. Oh, man. I'm so excited for you guys I'm so excited for you guys to start taking more risk in your life seriously because It gets to be fun. Like life gets to be fun. It doesn't, it shouldn't always be so scary. It gets to be fun. Even if it's scary, do it. It doesn't need to feel restrictive. Scary feels good sometimes, right? We're on the edge of our seats like, Oh, I don't know what's going to happen. But Let's do it. I'm excited, right? Those things are excitement. Those things is what's going to quantum leap your life.
