The Road Less Traveled

I think I’ve reached a breaking point.

Not like, a breakdown.

But a Breakthrough.

This time last year, I had decided to quit my 9-5 gig. It’s been a year since, and a lot has changed. I’ve been in-between several jobs, meet a few new people, said no to a lot of things.

I recently had an experience, where my anxiety tried to take control of my reaction to an event. But just as quickly as my breathing changed and my eyes watered, it stopped. Something in my mind told me to relax.

And the crazy part is — I relaxed.

In all my years of feeling like a prisoner of my mind, this was the first time I wasn’t. I wasn’t trapped by the negative scenarios my mind normally creates. I was in control of my reaction and it was incredible.

I also released my fear of uncertainty. I changed my ‘What if’ to ‘Why not’. I launched my children’s painting party business and took a leap a faith.

I’m still free-falling, but I am not afraid of where I’ll land.

I am enjoying the fall. And even though I don’t know where I’ll land, at least I know I will land.

I’m not worried about what will break my fall. Success or Failure could be waiting at the bottom. Either way, I’m not sitting near the edge of the cliff with the Twins of Uncertainty nudging and pulling me.

Trying is so much better than not doing. Trust me. I’m someone who has not been doing for YEARS.

Allow yourself to trust yourself. You’ve done all the “Self-Love” exercise and routines. Now try “Self-Trust”.

Self-Trust 2019. You heard it here first.
