Why You Should Own Your Actions
Summary
- When planning a procedure, like getting your nose or brows done, it’s normal to feel anxious about how others will perceive it, especially when you're often in the public eye.
- I've learned that if you do something and you're afraid to share it, it's important to own your decisions.
- By owning what you’ve done, you take away anyone else’s power to control the story about you.
- Transparency can help ease your anxiety because it shifts control from others back to you.

How To Take Action
I would suggest implementing the idea of owning your decisions, especially when you're feeling anxious about how others might perceive you. For small businesses or entrepreneurs, try being transparent with your customers about the changes or updates you make. This could be as simple as sharing a post or sending a newsletter that explains the decision and why it's beneficial. This openness can reduce anxiety because it allows you to control the narrative.
For personal growth, practice transparency with your friends or community. If you've made a big decision or change, like a new look or lifestyle shift, share it openly. This honesty helps shift the control from others back to you, allowing you to build confidence in owning your story.
A good way to get started is by reflecting on a recent decision that made you anxious and consciously deciding to be open about it with at least one person you trust. Notice how this transparency affects your stress levels and how people react—usually, they appreciate honesty and relate more to your genuine self.
For both personal and business settings, make transparency a habit. Regularly communicate updates or personal changes, and you'll find that anxiety decreases while authenticity and control increase.
