Show Up As Your Best Self

When was the last time you truly show up as your best self? It’s not always easy, especially when the world makes us feel underappreciated or overshadowed. In Chilling with the Chaplins: Episode 5, hosts Coach LJ and Lady Siza dive deep into what it means to rise above feelings of inadequacy and comparison. With personal anecdotes, actionable tips, and inspiring reflections, this episode helps you explore how to find your inner strength, overcome doubt, and embrace authenticity.

Feeling Underappreciated and Overlooked

Life often leaves us feeling unseen and undervalued. Coach LJ shares his struggles with these emotions, which began in childhood when his height made him feel insignificant. His mother stood as a lone pillar of support, but he often grappled with a sense of being overlooked by friends and family.

“Look for You,” as discussed by the Chaplins, is a powerful reminder to stop seeking external validation. Instead, focus on your values and talents. Social media, while a great connector, exacerbates unhealthy comparisons. Studies published in the Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology reveal that limiting time on social media improves emotional well-being (Huang, 2021). This aligns with the Chaplins’ call to self-validate and find a supportive “tribe” that uplifts rather than undermines.

Thought-Provoking Question: Who are the people in your life that genuinely see and appreciate your value?

Looking for You: Finding Your Tribe

When you “Look for You,” you’re not just searching for external connections but seeking to understand yourself better. The Chaplins emphasize that individuality matters more than fitting in. Tools like the DISC personality assessment help identify unique strengths and areas of improvement. According to Dr. Marston (1928), understanding personality traits through DISC can enhance interpersonal relationships and self-awareness.

Lady Siza illustrates how authenticity and excellence are essential when navigating spaces where you may feel unappreciated. Her story of thriving in the workplace despite mixed reactions reminds us to anchor in our purpose.

Show Up and Excel

“Show up” is not just a phrase; it’s a way of life. Showing up consistently, no matter who’s watching, builds character. The Chaplins argue that your motivation should stem from internal satisfaction and faith rather than external applause. As Lady Siza notes, doing your best work for God or your personal goals ensures you never feel let down by others.

Psychologists Deci and Ryan’s Self-Determination Theory (Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 2000) explains that intrinsic motivation—acting out of personal values or enjoyment—leads to sustained success and happiness. This aligns perfectly with the Chaplins’ advice to focus on personal development and long-term fulfillment over fleeting recognition.

Action Step: Dedicate 15 minutes daily to a self-development practice such as journaling, meditating, or reading inspirational material.

Fab Five Questions and SAVERS Routine

The Chaplins introduce the “Fab Five,” a fun segment that explores their interests and growth areas. One standout takeaway is the SAVERS routine from Hal Elrod’s The Miracle Morning:

Silence: Start your day with mindfulness or prayer.
Affirmations: Use positive statements to set intentions.
Visualization: Picture your goals vividly.
Exercise: Energize your body for the day.
Reading: Learn something new.
Scribing: Write reflections or plans in a journal.

This practice fosters clarity, focus, and productivity. Research in Positive Psychology Interventions (Lyubomirsky, 2007) shows that morning routines improve mood and efficacy, making SAVERS a valuable tool for personal excellence.

Overcoming Negativity

Navigating negative spaces—whether online, at work, or in your personal life—requires resilience. The Chaplins recommend focusing on your mission rather than critics. They remind listeners of Jesus, who faced rejection even in his community, yet remained steadfast.

Thought-Provoking Question: How do you respond to criticism? Can you use it as fuel for growth?
