What is Fear? What are your fears? Is there something that you have always wished you could do? What is holding you back? Are you afraid of failure?
Fear comes in many forms. The fear I’m speaking of is the basis of whether we make a choice and what choices we make in life.
The fear of the unknown is often what keeps us from making a change. Change is hard, but to grow we must embrace change. They say the only constant is change.
There have been many times in my life when I was scared. Scared about making the wrong decision, scared about following my dreams, but mostly I was afraid of letting my self down and others.
What I have learned over time, is that having faith will give you the courage needed to take that first step. The first step is always the hardest.
Build a support team for yourself. They will be your cheering section, as well as your shoulder to cry on.
DO NOT GIVE UP!!!! When the going gets tough, turn I cant’s into I WILL!!!
Remember in everything, every expert was once a beginner.
A dream is a dream…. It is never to late for a dream to become a reality.
In all things we must be prepared for setbacks, setbacks make us stronger. Setbacks are not failures but opportunities. Setbacks teach us life lessons.
What are you going to do about your fear? Are you going to continue to wish you took a chance or are you going to TAKE THAT CHANCE!!!!
My current fear… Public Speaking!! I would like to talk on my Instagram, but I’m afraid I will look silly. I see many people talking on their Instagram stories or making youtube videos, and I wonder how did they become to be so great at publicly speaking. To combat my fear, I am just going to jump in headfirst and make a video weekly. I know that at first, they may not be that great. I also know that if I do not start creating videos, I may never do it.
Wish me luck as I take that first step!! If you are considering taking that first step, but need a little nudge or advice, feel free to reach out to me!! I am always here to help! If you have taken that first step, comment below and tell me your story!
Lots of Love, Christina

Public speaking is a huge fear for me as well! My friends and family think I would be a great group fitness instructor but thinking about talking to people for 45 minutes and them looking to me for advice makes me so nervous!!

That is something I find scary too! I do not want to give people the wrong advice! You got this. Give it a try!!

I was really scared to start a blog, and now here I am, 3 months later! For the longest time, I’ve been putting it off even if I know that I have so much to share. I was scared of crticism or judgement from others, and I let that get in the way. I finally pushed myself to start, with the help of a life coach I was working with. It felt so amazing that I was able to finally get myself out there! It’s not easy, but really worth it to at least try. Good luck with public speaking!

I totally understand. Many times our family and friends think we are crazy, but I totally enjoy my blogging and using instagram as a platform share who I am. I really would like to make a difference in peoples lives!!

So inspiring, I needed this today. I’m planning to take a huge leap of faith and move abroad soon. I keep having second thought about it, but I know that’s just my fear speaking and it’ll be really worth it.

You are so welcome! That sounds like a fantastic idea. I would love to live abroad! Don’t be scared. Besides if it doesn’t work out, you can always return!!!!

I make YouTube videos and while I only make them about once a month, when I do make them they are fun. they are a lot of work but worth it. I wish you the best of luck! Here’s to taking a leap of faith!
