Once you do actually find your voice in your writing it can be intimidating to actually put your thoughts out there in the public eye of the internet. There is possibility of judgement, scrutiny, and let’s be honest there is a lot of haters out there.

Remember this. For every hater, there is someone else who will connect with your message, and it could possibly change their life.

 Isn?t that worth it?

When you find your voice, it is your responsibility and your duty to use it. When

you are having the mental battle on whether or not to publish a certain blog post, email, or article the following fears may arise.

Should I publish what I REALLY think?

Will my thoughts or message rub some people the wrong way?

Is everyone going to think I?m sitting on my high horse preaching to them?

Guess what?

That is exactly how some people are going to think of you.

But, there will be people will think your message is amazing. You have two choices. You can either let the fear stop you. Or you can do it anyway.

Here are three steps to getting over your fear of putting your message out there once you have found your true voice.

Have confidence in yourself.

If you doubt yourself, then why should anyone else have confidence in what you have to say? It is important to know you are unshakeable in what you have to share. This will help you be unaffected by the fear surrounding putting your authentic voice in front of everyone to see.

 If you are feeling insecure and constantly questioning the validity of your message then it will probably never get spread to your target audience. Spreading your message will be a process of trial and error at first before you hone in on your exact target audience.

 This will test your grit. Self-confidence is necessary for this process. Dig deep. Your true self is waiting inside.

Respect Fear

When you respect your fear you are recognizing that fear is a factor in your

decision making process when putting yourself and your message out there. As I said previously, you have two choices.

 There are those who let fear paralyze them and use it as a reason why they cannot take action. Then there are those who recognize they have the fear and act in spite of any fear they have surrounding the action.

 Just remember this. Fear is not, I repeat, NOT real. It only exists in your mind. It is merely having negative thoughts of future events that have not even occurred yet.

 As the old saying goes... you don?t know until you try. So remember to take action despite what you think can go wrong. A lot more could go right.

Take Action

There needs to be less time between you having a thought and taking action. Obviously, don?t act on every single thought or idea you have, but if there is one that keeps coming up over and over again that’s the one you need to listen to.

 Don?t hesitate. Think less. Act more. The ability to take quick action will bring you more success than over analyzing and trying to make everything perfect before you act. Nothing will be perfect the first time around. The process of trial and error is necessary.

Once you find your voice, take the action and use it. Anyone can write great articles and have authenticity. But most humans are scared to put it out there for everyone to see. So they confine their thoughts to a Facebook post among friends or a small blog.

Don?t be afraid to make your thoughts public. Be bold. Find your voice and make it heard.
