Becoming More Courageous

The Bestie Messages/Emotional Sobriety/Becoming More Courageous

Courage Is the Gateway Emotion.

If you're looking to live a life beyond your wildest dreams—whether that's getting sober, overcoming anxiety, starting your business, or sharing your message with the world—it starts with courage.

Courage is the gateway to everything you want.

It's the emotion that opens the door to action.

Without it, emotions like fear, shame, and doubt will steal your dreams.

The Courage Commitment.

Here’s the simplest, most powerful mindset shift:

“I take action aligned with my heart and spirit—even when it’s uncomfortable.”

You don’t have to feel courageous every moment. You just need to act courageously when it counts. You can be scared and still show up. That’s courage.

Your Feelings Don’t Get to Steal Your Dreams.

When you take action toward a big dream, discomfort will come up. Expect it.

Fear.

Doubt.

Imposter syndrome.

Guilt or shame.

All of it is normal. But they don’t get to decide your future.

Instead of letting fear stop you, say: “Oh hey, fear. I was expecting you.”

Then keep moving forward anyway.

The Courage Two Step.

You can simplify courage into a repeatable two-step process:

Get clear on your dream.
Big or small—what do you want?

Take the next small step toward it.
One step. Not 25 steps ahead. Just the next one.Get clear on your dream.

That’s it. That’s the roadmap.

Repetition Builds Confidence.

Courage is a muscle. And every small, scary action builds it.

Practice public speaking by talking to your dog.

Avoiding freeways? Start by driving around the block.

Scared to share your story? Record yourself talking. Don’t even share it yet—just practice.

The person who takes the 25th step is not the same as the person who took the 1st.

You grow into your dreams by walking toward them, one courageous step at a time.

Rewire Your Brain with Courage.

Every courageous action forges a new neural path.

I calls it brain blazing—like trailblazing, but in your mind. The first time through is messy and hard. But repeat it? That trail gets easier.

Over time, those new thoughts and behaviors become second nature. You literally rewire your brain to be more confident and free.

From Phobia to Freedom.

I had phobias of:

Freeways

Dogs

Public speaking

Leaving the house

But by committing to courage, one step at a time, I...

Discomfort Is the Price Tag.

Here’s a powerful reframe:

What if the cost of your dream is 60 seconds of discomfort?

Would you pay it?

If you’re willing to sit with the feeling—breathe, name it, get curious about where it lives in your body—you can move through it.

Courageous Actions Stack.

Each courageous act builds competence

Competence builds confidence

Confidence makes you unstoppable

You’re not avoiding fear anymore. You’re fueling growth with it.

Mantra Time: This Is Courage!

When you’re scared but taking action anyway, say it to yourself:

“This is courage. This is what courage feels like. Courage feels like anxiety, fear, doubt. I'm taking action anyway. This is courage. I am courageous!”

If you’re doing the thing, it’s courage.

What’s Your Next Step?

What’s your dream?

What’s the next step?

Are you willing to feel a little discomfort for the sake of that dream?

If the vibes are vibing, commit to courage!

This is how you create a life that makes past-you proud.
