Future or fear?
Wednesday, June 5, 2013 at 11:08AM Fear stops us from doing so much, the tape in our head...."this could be dangerous, uncomfortable, difficult, may not work, cause me even more stress, I don't have time, it wont work anyway, I've tried it before, what's the point, they wont like me, I'll look stupid, it wont happen to me, I have responsibilites"?
Familiar messages that might play in your head?
Sometimes stopping and thinking for a few short moments about what we want and not letting fear stand before us ( looming TALL!) is a good idea.
What do you want your future to look like?
What today do you want to be part of your future?
Where is fear getting in the way? When was the last time you went ahead took courage in your hands and did something you were fearful of and it had a good result!
Remind yourself today of all the skills you have, of everything you are good at.
Remind yourself today of achievements you are proud of.
Remind yourself of the future you want.
When we get clear about what we want, it's the first step on the path to making it happen.
