If you’re like me, you’ve experienced the fear of looking like a total idiot. It comes up when you’re about to stick your neck out for something you believe in. Or when you’re about to reveal a part of yourself for the first time. Or you’re about to launch a new project that you want badly to succeed. It can happen at a gathering where you don’t know many people, and everyone seems so much cooler and more sophisticated than you. This happened to me, years ago, at a beach party with some new friends. I was having a good time letting my hair down, cutting loose, and dancing, as they say, like no one was watching. Suddenly, I was overcome by a wave of self-consciousness. I was sure that I looked ridiculous, and that the people around me were laughing at me behind my back. Just as I was about to get sucked into a spiral of doubt and insecurity, I noticed something: Nobody was actually looking at me. And then I realized: Everyone’s too caught up in their own inner drama to pay that much attention to me. And I relaxed. I remind myself of that incident everytime my fear of looking dumb threatens to take me out. Why am I sharing this?

One of the things that really helped me recover from depression was a commitment to saturate myself with inspiring and uplifting ideas. I was viewing everything though a lens of despair, anger and inadequacy. I remembered being a positive person once, and wanted to find that part of me again. Can you relate? In addition to getting 1-1 support, and seeking out friends who were also on a mission to find themselves, my day-to-day lifesaver was listening to audiobooks. Audiobooks are awesome because they turn your long commute into a chance to gain insight and encouragement. They make chores and even workouts go by so much more quickly. Did I mention the inspiration and upliftment? Look, you’re busy, and sometimes sitting down for a few hours with a inspiring book is just not gonna happen. But that doesn’t mean you need to miss out some of the most transformational work out there. Here are my top five audiobooks for coming back to life: Effortless Success by Michael Neill        I picked up this audiobook because, despite outward appearances to the contrary, I felt like a failure. I was also exhausted all the time, so effortless sounded good to me.       The best part about this recording is that it’s not a laundry list of to-dos for achieving success. He teaches a simple method for discovering what truly lights you up, a technique I’ve since adapted to the work I do with clients.        If you’re overwhelmed by the high expectations you’ve set for yourself, give this one a listen.
