So what are the stories you’re telling yourself? What have you convinced yourself that you’re incapable of doing. Or that you would just fail if you tried?

Have you got that? Hold it in your mind? Now listen closely. You can do that thing. Your first attempt might be kind of shitty. That’s ok. In fact, that’s GOOD. Do it anyway. Do the hard thing. In fact. Do the hard thing and then tag me either as @mimknits or @yarnstoriespodcast with the hashtag #doingthehardthing. I want to see you all making what scared you. I want to see you work past that fear. I want you to show others that they can do the hard thing too.
