Less Fear

I’ve lived and harbored many fears that have depreciated my quality of life. I have spent way too much time worrying about things that were out of my control, or trying to make others happy at my own expense.

 

I’ve had Fears of posting socially, fears of how posts would be perceived, fear of hurting somebodies feelings if my posts portrayed me or my life in a “better than yours” light, fear of perceived “flexing” or “bragging”, or of trying too hard, or being fake. etc.

Most of these fears, when met with a little resistance, fade away and I can logically work my way through them… It does take some time and attention to catch the little weeds, though.

Ultimately living with all of these fears has taken away from my ability to live in a more loving and fulfilling way. This year I am going to attempt to be be more vulnerable. I’m going to attempt to write more, and share more of my thoughts for whoever may like to read them. I’m going to try to celebrate life unapologetically and authentically.

 

In a lot of movies there seams to be a reoccurring theme of the hero finally conquering their fears. Finally facing the monster, dragon, boss, or an evil stepmother; and although its never easy, eventually they improve their circumstance and are much better off as a result. Id like to test that.

 

I have a lot to be grateful for, and a lot to be happy about. Wish me luck- Happy 2023
