Are you ready to open up?

Happy Wednesday from a wet and windy Devon! I hope that wherever you are, the sun is shining down on you!

For many of us, the idea of opening up is scary and can take us way out of our comfort zone. However, by learning to be more vulnerable, you simultaneously teach yourself you're worthy of love and happiness.

Here are some steps you can take to get out of your comfort zone and be more vulnerable.

First—and this might be a big ask for many of you—you need to accept the fact that you're worthy. I know for a fact that you're worthy because we all are! Whether you're opening up to someone or reaching for a goal, believe that you're enough to warrant love, success, and respect.

In her TED Talk, Brené Brown explained, "There was only one variable that separated the people who have a strong sense of love and belonging and the people who really struggle for it. And that was, the people who have a strong sense of love and belonging believe they're worthy of love and belonging. That's it. They believe they're worthy."

Next, resist the urge to put up walls. Instead, give yourself permission to experience the feelings that you'll have as a consequence of your vulnerability, good or bad.

Finally, trust that you can deal with the outcome, no matter what. Negative responses never feel good, but you can't control how others react. Know that sometimes when you allow yourself to open up, you risk being rejected or met with indifference. You may have hurt feelings, but that's how you free yourself to become vulnerable.

When you leave your comfort zone to open yourself up to vulnerability, you make the conscious decision and display to others that you are worthy. That is a pretty empowering place to be.

Have a great day in life and business!
