Let Me Out
in 7 Kernaussagen verstehen

Kernaussage 1 von 7

What’s in it for me? Let go of your fear of failure.

If you had no fear, what would you do? Would you start the novel that’s been a half-scribbled idea in your journal for years? Would you take singing lessons? Would you start training for a marathon?

Many of us have dreams that we’re afraid to say out loud or even admit to ourselves. Why? Because of our fear of failure, and the related fears of embarrassment and shame. These stifle our dreams and stall them as fantasy instead of transforming them into reality.

But what if you could do something about it?

Every creative has had to face these fears, and they exist only in the mind. The artists and achievers we see celebrated in the media are not necessarily more talented than us, but they were brave enough to confront their fears and learn to quiet them.

In these blinks, you’ll learn

who Marv is, and why you have to learn to shut him up;
why rediscovering your inner child is great for unlocking creativity; and
how you might be similar to a baby elephant.

Got an idea? Confront your fears and challenge negative mind-sets with small concrete actions.

Have you got an idea for a book, song, film script or business stashed away? Why are you sitting on it? Get moving!

The first step to realizing your dreams is to overcome fear.

It’s normal to fear failure. Worry inevitably becomes the biggest obstacle when we really want to succeed. We start talking ourselves down. Maybe we tell ourselves that we aren’t talented enough or that someone has beaten us to the punch, or that we’re not qualified.

Repeating negative thoughts gets us nowhere. It leads to procrastination at best and self-sabotage at worst. Especially when that pessimism starts piling up.

Such negative thinking is almost always rooted in past experience.

Perhaps, for instance, you've never had a freelancer in your family. You might have internalized the belief that running a business is difficult. It needn’t be. There’s nothing stopping you from starting that dream travel agency if you really want to!

Equally, if you don't take that first step, negativity and fear can escalate. But the moment you get the ball rolling, even if it’s just the smallest nudge, things won’t seem so insurmountable.

A good way to unblock negative beliefs is by using a Brain Bottle Opener (BBO for short). These are simple time-limited creative exercises designed to unlock ideas.

A BBO works something like this. In a 15-minute slot, you could scribble down possible options for your new venture’s name. In ten minutes you could doodle some logo ideas. In a couple of minutes, you could buy a domain name.

By working to a fixed time and on a defined task, you can quickly snap out of sluggish and negative mind-sets. Every concrete action takes you that little bit closer to realizing your goal.

So that’s the first step. Where do you go from here?

Understand your inner critic and learn to free yourself from doubt.

It’s easy for people who know no better to ask, “Why don’t you just get started and do it?” But the truth is, getting going can be pretty hard work. Just why is that?

That little inner voice that fills our heads with doubt certainly plays a part. The author has a name for it: Marv, short for “Majorly Afraid of Revealing Vulnerability.”

Reach your goal by confronting fears of abandonment and building trust.

It’s a wonderful thing when you find your sense of purpose and live by it. So why is it so tricky to put that inner critic to rest?

Well, Marv's job is made easier by playing on feelings of abandonment. So it’s critical to understand them if you want to confront him. He thinks he’s a self-protection mechanism, but he’s really not.

Let your inner child lead your creative process.

Once you’ve got going, you’ll be better equipped to face down residual fears. But doubts can still bubble up and slow you down. The trick is to embrace creative methods that keep you pushing forward.

Embracing your inner child is a sure way to galvanize your project.

To stay motivated, visualize your dream future and learn from past mistakes.

You should now have a good idea of what you want to achieve. You know what creative tools to use and how to assuage any doubts. But there’s always room for improvement when it comes to motivation strategies.

Try imagining how your life will be once you’ve achieved your dream. Positive thoughts will contribute to a positive outcome.

Accept that change happens and learn to face the future with a clear mind.

Change is part of life. It's scary. Sometimes it leads to good, sometimes to bad. It’s essential to learn to embrace both sides of the coin. If you can deal with change, you’ll be better equipped for the future.

Change is just part of the creative journey when you're pursuing a dream.

Keep your dream alive by identifying support networks.

Planning your first solo concert? Then you should call a mate who’s played a few gigs and discuss his experiences.

A group of supportive friends is an invaluable asset if you want to fulfill your dreams.

❤️ für Blinkist️️️

Ines S.

Ich bin begeistert. Ich liebe Bücher aber durch zwei kleine Kinder komme ich einfach nicht zum Lesen. Und ja, viele Bücher haben viel bla bla und die Quintessenz ist eigentlich ein Bruchteil.

Genau dafür ist Blinkist total genial! Es wird auf das Wesentliche reduziert, die Blinks sind gut verständlich, gut zusammengefasst und auch hörbar! Das ist super. 80 Euro für ein ganzes Jahr klingt viel, aber dafür unbegrenzt Zugriff auf 3000 Bücher. Und dieses Wissen und die Zeitersparnis ist unbezahlbar.

Extrem empfehlenswert. Statt sinnlos im Facebook zu scrollen höre ich jetzt täglich zwischen 3-4 "Bücher". Bei manchen wird schnelle klar, dass der Kauf unnötig ist, da schon das wichtigste zusammen gefasst wurde..bei anderen macht es Lust doch das Buch selbständig zu lesen. Wirklich toll

Nils S.

Einer der besten, bequemsten und sinnvollsten Apps die auf ein Handy gehören. Jeden morgen 15-20 Minuten für die eigene Weiterbildung/Entwicklung oder Wissen.

Viele tolle Bücher, auf deren Kernaussagen reduziert- präzise und ansprechend zusammengefasst. Endlich habe ich das Gefühl, Zeit für Bücher zu finden, für die ich sonst keine Zeit habe.
