When you think about your biggest goal right now, what's the first thing that comes up? *Part of me wants it, but another part is like… who do you think you are?I keep thinking about it, but I don’t fully believe I’ll get thereI don’t want to look stupid if it doesn’t work.I’ll tell myself I’ll do it, and then I just… don’t.

When you make progress toward something important, what tends to happen next? *I slow down and then I can’t seem to get back into it.I think there’s people better than me who are doing this.I’ll make progress, and then I start second-guessing my decisions.It starts to feel like too much and then I doubt it’s going to work.

When you think about asking for more — more money, more recognition, more support — what comes up? *I tell myself I’ll ask, but then I keep putting it off.I worry about how it’s going to look if I ask.It feels selfish or like I’m asking for too much.I don’t think I’ll get it so there’s no point asking.

When you imagine reaching your goal, what feeling comes with that vision? *Doubt that it’s actually real or achievable.Frustration that I’m still imagining it instead of doing it.Something that feels almost wrong, like it’s more than I’m supposed to have.It makes me nervous thinking about the attention that would come with it.

How do you typically respond when things are going well? *I get pulled off track and don’t stick with what was working.I don’t really talk about it so I don’t look like I’m showing off.I start thinking it’s not going to last.I start to feel uncomfortable and then I mess it up.

When someone tells you that you're capable of more, how do you respond internally? *I agree in the moment but it doesn’t change what I actually do.I feel exposed like they’re setting me up to fail publicly.I think “maybe” but I can’t see how it would actually happen.I want to believe it but I don’t really buy it.
