This past week has been exhausting to say the least. Let’s just say fear has been thrown in my face multiple times. Has fear ever held you back from something that would enhance your life or those around you? Well, it has for me!
Fear has stopped me from completing some tasks this week because I didn’t feel good or deserving enough. I hate that feeling. No, I’m not the type of person that has low self-esteem. In fact, my self-esteem is good, but I do have moments that I talk myself out of something that can be good for me. This past week was a little different.
I did it afraid. Whatever was asked of me, I did it with extreme fear and anxiety. Not because I wanted to but because I had to prove to myself that I could. I promised myself this year that I’d put myself out there more. So, I did it afraid, and you know what?
I didn’t die. In fact, the opposite happened! I felt alive because I didn’t let fear freeze me into place. So, the solution to fear is easy: Do it afraid. Whatever “it” is, do it. Stand firm against it and I promise you that on the other side of fear is freedom. That’s how I feel now, free and it’s such a good feeling. Got me thinking how our ancestors “did it” afraid as well. If you haven’t seen “Black Panther” take yourself to see it this week!
I hope everyone faces at least one fear this week! You won’t regret it! 😉
