Walking through the fear

Last night I had the opportunity to walk through a fear. I had to address something that was daunting. I needed to express myself and own my power. Amazingly enough I got through the email and was able to hit send. It wasn't easy. It challenged my desire to break through. In these moments I want to shrink up and be safe and back away. The little girl in me is afraid to get in trouble or cause trouble. This is a strong tie for me that I want to break though in my life.

When I was younger I prided myself on being the one that wasn't going to make waves or cause problems. As an adult that translates to not always saying everything on my mind and not always standing up for myself.

What a great thing that has come up and I get to write about it in a way that helps me through my own process. Fear is always right there to lure us into believing the worst of ourselves. Well it's just not true. We are evolving beings with opportunities everyday to show up differently. Today I have an opportunity to have a conversation with this person that empowers me. Today I have an opportunity to walk through a fear. What fear are you going to walk through today?
