Do you ever get that feeling of ‘I need to clear out and start again’? Or ‘I’m feeling hemmed in’? Or the feeling may be ‘I need to make space for something – anything to come in!’
I know, from my own experience, that life is all about changing and evolving or else you get into a rut, get bored or die. It’s as simple as that!
Let’s not beat about the bush here. Our talents or potential are the gifts you come in with and what you make of them is up to you. Isn’t it better to use them rather than being too afraid or shy to allow the world to see them?
When you hold onto your shyness (and most of us actually are shy), you can then use this as the excuse that there is probably somebody better or more able than you to stand up and be counted. So you don’t put yourselves forward much, if at all.
I want to support you to use what abilities, skills, talents, and qualities you possess in order to let us all enjoy them. You have the potential and not using it is a huge loss to you and world. Also hugely frustrating for you and could even cause you to move into depression as you box yourself in.
The best thing you can do is to take time to reflect on yourself and your personal expectations for your life.
Then I’m suggesting that you create a ‘DARE LIST’ of say, 20 things so that you’re expanding your comfort zone.
The list can contain simple to difficult changes. Some examples could be – walking instead of taking the car; signing up for some kind of class; switching the TV off; saying No when you normally say Yes; running a half marathon; writing a book; public speaking; jumping out of a plane or tall building and so on. You see you will then be shaking up those ruts you have got yourself into. You’ll be changing your thinking and this then re-wires your brain.
We can all co-create a better world that we know in our hearts is possible. It may not happen in our life-time (we may not see the fruits of this) and we can be Role Models for future generations.
This can be your legacy – the Celebration of You in your Bigness.
Join me in ‘strutting your stuff’ more than you’ve ever done – let me know how you get on.
Really like the sound of a ‘Dare List’ Irene. Heard of the best things happening outside of your comfort zone but not thought of actually making a list of scary things to challenge yourself. Thank you for the idea. 🙂
Hi, Nicky, thanks for your comment. I look forward to hearing about your dare list although I am quite sure this is happening now xx
