Don’t just sit there… DARE!

I notice that as I have grown older, I have become more and more mistrustful.


Where is that girl that would strap to her snowboard, in just a light hoodie and flyyyyy down the hill, with no fear? Where is that girl that would just GO FOR IT, never thinking about the consequences?


When did I start playing it so SAFE?


I have been taught to play it safe, taught to mistrust myself.


Problem is, if I hide / play it safe all the time, I become bored. Life is dull, so I spend life in my head, spinning in anxiety or creating drama. Dumping all over the beauty all around me!


This is not a place where I am happy or at peace. This is a horrible place to be.


Since I am not daring or doing challenging things, I don’t get the opportunity to feel proud. Pride = self love.


Today my husband snuck around the corner in the kitchen and went to pick me up and my first reaction was to stop him, have us move to a bigger room and pick me up there. WTF! I was scared my feet would hit the fridge or the stove on either side of me. I chose to play it safe and thus, totally ruined a sweet moment with my man AND the potential for another moment like that in the future. Can I not trust? Trust life? Trust myself? Trust my man?


How many other moments, throughout my day, am I playing it so safe and being in total mistrust?


Daring feels scary, yes.


Today I am realizing that, in order to be happy and have the experiences I want in this lifetime- I really need to prioritize working / exercising my trust muscle.


In the words of my friend Leanne - “I’m tired of being f*cking scared, greatness comes to the ones who dare!”


I’ve just written this out on my mirror.


Anyone else feeling me?
