How to Stop Worrying About What You Post on Social Media | Mel Robbins

If you are SELF-CONSCIOUS and SWEATY-ARMPITS-NERVOUS 😳 about putting yourself out there online, I’ve got some cool news that will help you relax:

I know you have a deep yearning to do more for people but you STOP🛑 yourself from posting a message online because you think:

“Who the hell am I to post this message??”
“Nobody is going to pay attention to what I have to say”
“I have no viewers or followers - I don’t make a difference. Why try?”

NEW research from Ohio State University blows those excuses out of the water! The proof: ➡️ The videos people found compelling had NOTHING to do with the amount of views the video had.

👊 It had to do with THE PERSON and THE MESSAGE being communicated.

REAL influence is the ability to show up in a sincere way, and have conviction and passion about what you’re talking about.

Not the number of views or followers you have.

So enough with the excuses. The only thing that matters is how passionate you are and that you GET STARTED.

Tag me in your video so I can cheer you on! ❤️

I'm an introvert who is social media shy, I needed this more than anything because I want to join the YouTube business.

I'm too afraid to accidentally reveal something that should be kept private

We all question the value of what we have to say because we are putting ourselves out there (being vulnerable) - the difference is that one person will actually do it (overcome the fear by doing) and the other will live in their head with a million "what ifs".

I woke up worrying about a social media post last night.

Perfect timing for this video. Thank you so much.

Don't let other people define *who you are.* 🖤🙏

100% how I felt when I wanted to start my channel. What makes me think I'm qualified to talk about this or that anyone would want to hear coming out of my mouth. And so I just started saying F it I'm making it for myself and if anyone likes it great and if they don't that's okay because I liked it lol

When you have so much to say but are afraid to say it. When you are passionate but don't have the conviction to do it. When you have all the above but are afraid to post it. It's kind of sad because there will always be someone who needs to hear it.

[ritubiswasz]

Thank you for sharing this, fear of putting out content is so much holding us back! We need to get out of that shell!👍

[nema]

Thank you Mel! You are so authentic and empowering! So generous! Thanks thanks

[jeanettajohnson]

I started my own U-Tube Channel and being that I have always been really shy most of my life .Not easy thing to get up the courage to do. This is something I have been talking about doing for many years. This year I did it!

[ArtByHazel]

To all the introverts with a big heart to serve and show up - shoutout! It took me awhile to start my Youtube channel because of the many reasons that held me back. So I said, "Screw it and started anyway." You got this! Thanks Mel. ;)

[GadgetsGearCoffee]

1000%! There is an audience for everyone, just be yourself, be passionate about it and people will enjoy it! That's that I did for my YouTube channel and it just made me wonder why I didn't start this sooner. I may not have a lot of subscribers but I get views I'm happy with and the comments have been wonderful and kind

[SuperGreenPlants]

Thanks Mel! As I am relistening (picking up new things the 2nd time around) to your audiobook Take Control of your life. I love the brick analogy, and how Dan did not know where he is going and it panned out. This video reminds me of taking that one step and seeing where things go! Today, I am going to take that deep breathe, 5-4-3-2-1 and just do that thing I have been afraid to do. Take that step and keep going. Do things despite the fear. :) thanks!

[dianecraig]

So true. Having passion and conviction about the message you are trying to get across is how you connect with others. Thank you

[aichasimmons]

Thank you so much for this! 🙏🏼I finally started my YouTube channel journey and I received so much love, beautiful messages and incredible connections by doing something close and personal to me. This changed so much for me already so thank you! 💛

[SapphireBlueTravelExplores]

I post every week, but struggle with not getting caught up in the likes and watch time😒
I believe in the mandate God has given me, now I need to learn to be bold and show passion as I show off Australia

[jackiefisher]

Don't you just love how the universe works. I have been planning this for ages. Thanks Mel just what I needed to hear.😃

[michelletecklenburg]

You spoke right into heart. Thanks Mel! God bless 🌹
