The One Decision
What if the one decision you have been putting off taking action on actually IS the answer you are looking for!?
I used to live in fear of the unknown but NOW? Now I welcome it. I'd like to tell you a story about the ONE decision that led to a MASSIVE change in my emotional and mental health.
Ya see, I know some people think I have this confidence & never struggle but here's a little back story...
I used to be so scared going to a grocery store by myself & I even waited to get my license & I only did it bc someone made me do it.
I grew up in fear of the government & was taken out of school for Y2K and had enough guns and dried milk to help us "survive"
Ya see when you hear that people are only out to "get you" & you shouldn't trust anyone, it also starts to make you question not only others but yourself. So you hide and you DON'T try new things because you are afraid of rejection and you RUN from failure.
I didn't ever want to grow up or take responsibility for anything. I think that's why I was always glad people assumed I was younger because I didn't want them to expect MORE from me.
Sounds funny saying it, but it's true.
So what changed??
I can tell you the EXACT moment I didn't let my fears control me anymore bc the thing that scared me THE MOST is the thing that changed it all.
That moment came when I agreed to go and film a little workout program called Insanity MAX30.
I hopped on a train with luggage from PA to NY. From there I had to go and find a subway BY MYSELF to get to Brooklyn to go stay with a person I had never met....turned out to be the ex boyfriend of a friends friend who was not even staying there Turns out he wasn't a murderer, thank tha LAWD.
I had MAJOR anxiety but I kept telling myself…maybe THIS is the decision that changes everything.
A few weeks after that I became a Coach & also had anxiety and thought, maybe THIS is the decision that changes my life.
A few months after that on a team call I was a guest speaker & I had a panic attack and the host had to take over the call, And I thought, maybe I SHOULD keep going because maybe this is the decision that changes everything.
The list goes on and on because I can see how my decisions have led me RIGHT HERE, & if you can't tell I'm pretty freaking happy & also proud of myself.
It takes a strong person to go through crap in life but it takes a STRONGER person to not let it define them.
Be strong friends and let the one decisions that scares be the change you need in this moment. You got this.
