How to Overcome the Fear of being Yourself (and Limiting Beliefs)

"Welcome back to another video. My name is Aaron, and I help people expand their consciousness. Now, in this video I'm going to be talking about an idea of overcoming the limiting beliefs that we might have. I'm going to be sharing a question that I had from somebody that messaged me on Instagram. If you guys have questions or suggestions for videos, feel free to send me a message on Instagram, or you can of course post them in the comments below. This is what Hannah asked.

"She said, "Something I'm not sure you've touched on is fear of being better. I know it sounds silly, but inside me there was a resistance towards ridding myself of certain ideas because I think maybe I am afraid of the happiness that I know will ensue. Does that make sense? Like, to live to your full potential can sometimes be a frightening prospect. Maybe you could talk about this experience, if you've had it, and ways to overcome this."

"This, for me, is really around an idea of overcoming limiting beliefs and understanding how we can really just be ourselves 100%. For me, this was something that's actually really relevant, because just like two weeks ago, maybe one and a half or two weeks ago, I did a video that I was sitting on this idea of a video for like four or five months. I was almost afraid to put it out, because I was afraid, and I had this belief, fear of putting it out, because I was afraid of maybe what you guys would think. It was an esoteric-type concept, it's the video I did on manifesting using parallel realities.

"That's something I'm passionate about talking about, because it's kind of an idea that's not really talked about too often, but I think it has a lot of empowerment potential. I knew I wanted to talk about it for like five or six months, but I just kept put it on the back burner because I was like, "I'm not ready, I don't know about it." I was so unsure of it, and I wasn't actually expressing myself 100%. I almost felt like there was a filter around me, as small as that sounds. I know it's just one video topic.

"Eventually, I just decided that I was going to make the choice to express myself, express that idea that I'm passionate about with no attachment to what people thought. Because that's what was really holding me back was caring so much and wondering what people would think about that idea, especially because it's kind of a more esoteric-type idea. What I really just decided I was going to do was to have the courage, in a way, to take the action, make the video, put it out, and not be attached to what people thought.

"The funny part of it I actually got a really good response from you guys, and it's a video that a lot of people are saying has actually helped them. There's benefit in it for taking action to be yourself, to express yourself, with no attachment to what other people think. Now, I know that seems a little bit off-topic from this idea, but the idea behind fear, and really the idea behind having sometimes limiting beliefs about who we are, and being able to be happy, and the success that could come, a lot of times comes from a subconscious belief in caring what people think.

"You see, if we end up changing ourselves, and we end up getting ourselves to a success mentality, a lot changes around us. Because as we begin to change from the inside out, other people will notice those differences about us. A lot of times, it's more desirable to stay the same, because then there's less criticism from other people. As we change, so will, sometimes, the people around us change. With that, it's like there's a lot of a subconscious fear with changing, with becoming the best version of ourselves, with taking action doing what we're loving to do, because of what other people think. Because as we begin to change, they will see it in us, and then sometimes it becomes something to where we just don't want to get into it at all. We don't even want to start that process.

"Now, this is about recognizing and understanding that we can be ourselves 100%, and that the way we let go of what other people think is by deciding that we're going to be ourselves. Really, have this type of idea. You, the you that you are is unique. There is nobody exactly like you. If you are doing things to please other people, that's not even the real you. Knowing that, it's like if you continue to do that, you continue to let that version of you continue to go, you're actually robbing people from being able to know who the you is, who the real you is.

"This comes from understanding that you have a gift, that there is something about you that if you express yourself 100% in who you are, that is going to be value to other people. Even if other people don't get it, the idea is that being uniquely yourself is something that will be like you're not cheating people out from knowing who the real you is. You can actually feel like you're...
