§ We came to this world to LIVE OUT LOUD!
My Year of Living Out Loud
As we landed and I heard the pilot say, “Crew we are at 10,000 feet, please take your seats”, I looked out the window and was amazed by how high up we are.
And I’m so seriously proud of myself!
I’m no longer scared of heights… well, mostly… 5% is still there.
Right before I skydived, I set an intention that with the jump I was overcoming all of the fear that held me back in my life.
And it worked. I’m pretty much not scared of anything anymore for too long.
I just remind myself that I had the courage to jump out of the plane so I know I must have the courage to make a phone call and offer my services or get up and speak in front of a large crowd or have a difficult conversation that can make or break a relationship.
I was thinking of this as I did my visioning for this year, MY YEAR OF LIVING OUT LOUD.
What about you? What’s your version of jumping out of the plane? What’s your symbolic act of courage? What do you need to play full out this year?
I would love to hear from you and create more community so leave a comment below or reach out to me by email at natalie@nataliematushenko.com.
Happy Tuesday!

P.S. You can check out my skydiving video here. It’s pretty hilarious so be prepared to laugh. It certainly helped me learn to laugh at myself.
Oh my gosh, Natalie, I love this so much. For a few years I gave up cheese, which is my favorite food. And I kept saying, if I can give up cheese, I can do anything. But then I went back to it after a breakup. It was seriously motivating to consistently be saying no to my biggest addiction to prove to myself I can do anything.
I’ve gotten really low lately and been mired in old addictive patterns. Have been going through one of the hardest times of my life, it feels. I’m determined to get out of it though. I don’t know what it will take, but I’m taking some steps today.
Hi Eva, thanks smooch for sharing! It’s amazing how good we feel about ourselves when we move beyond our addictions! Good for you for taking some steps today… and tomorrow… and the day after. I think that’s the idea – to take steps each and every day while having lots of compassion for ourselves. Lots of healing light to you! xoxo
