I was organizing my photo albums yesterday afternoon and I looked through some old pictures. I quickly had a replay of a lot that has gone on in my life. I saw this picture from when I was 4 years old. I was definitely a vibrant, confident child. As I grew through adolescence & early adulthood a lot of that happiness was stripped but after hard work, self care & the return of confidence I realized once again who I was, what I could do and what direction I was heading. In my retreats and workshops I want people to see that all the hard challenges they may go through only make them stronger. They are stepping stones to better things, better feelings & better places.
Let Go of Fear
Sunday thoughts:
My life was once run by fear. I was fearful of everything. Failure, letting people down, trying new things, finishing things ... you name it I worried about it. Once I really took a look at myself and my life, I realized it was time to change the way I looked at and did things. I started to gain confidence and have faith. I stopped worrying about the end result and I started to live in the moment as best I could. I’m not perfect at it, but I have come a long way. I read that we should live our life with more curiosity than fear. I agree.
