What IS so hard about being intimate!?
One of the toughest things you will face is Facing Yourself!
And seeing all the things you have gotten so good at ignoring!
This might just be the most challenging thing you have to do! It’s one thing to put on the horse and pony show for others, but actually having to look yourself in the eyes and tell the TRUTH—that’s quite another thing all together!
But, you can do it!
You must, in fact, if you are ever going to move past the things that are irking you now. Chances are, if you’re reading this, something in you wants to “love your life now.”
No matter who you are or what your age or stage in life, learning this lesson now, will be much easier than if you choose to learn it later (that is, continuing unhappily the way you are now!).
The sooner the better.
Facing yourself is not just about literally looking in the mirror, it’s about doing those things you have been putting off over and over again. It’s about taking action once you have been honest enough to admit it! (and it doesn’t really matter what IT is!)
For me, I get scared that if I do it, I won’t have anything else to do! Is this irrational? Of course it is! Most Fear is! And I’d bet that you are being irrational about things too!
Telling yourself the truth will literally change your life!
It may be stepping into your Bigness and finally utilizing all the great parts of yourself where you know you could do better! It may be leaving your job because you are miserable in it and finally striking out on your own (like you’ve been saying you should have done 10 years ago). It might be gathering the courage to march into your boss’ office and listing out why YOU deserve that promotion.
Whatever it is, I challenge you to be truthful about it. And be truthful about why you haven’t done it too!
This is not giving you permission to beat yourself up about something and still not doing it (believe me, this is a vicious counter-productive cycle). This is about finally committing to DO IT! To get it all out in the open.
This is about addressing F.E.A.R., those False Expectations Appearing Real! And in fact, admitting out loud why you are scared to do something, I mean honestly admitting it, takes away so much of the power of the FEAR!
Being able to say, yes, I am afraid to do this because of (whatever) is a very powerful step all by itself. Putting your fear on the table gives you a new angle to look at it!
Yes, this can be a scary process. Yes, part of your FEAR might be looking at it at all. But which is worse, admitting to the FEAR so you can move past it, or letting it dominate your life by denying its existence!?
I assure you, Facing FEAR will take you farther than you ever imagined!
Do You Love Your Life Now!? I Do (especially when I move past my FEARS!)
