Why is it that fear seems to be a reason that holds us back? Well, some people including me. Is it the fear of the unknown that makes us pause and put on hold what we really want to do? Is it the fear of rejection? The fear of taking risks. The fear of not being good enough? Fear can bring a lot to a halt.
For me, it is the fear of the unknown. I tend to shut down because I don’t know what is to come. That is why it has been taking a while with my book. I know I am good at writing and have a creative imagination and good ideas. I question everything and think of the what if’s, what if it is not good enough, what if people don’t like what I put out. Questions swimming around in my head and sometimes the fear to continue the projects I have going. Fear to put my work out and fear to fully put myself out there and do what is necessary. The fear to take the risks to get out of my comfort zone. Anyone else had or have this problem? Though there is fear within me I am still trying to overcome it. I tell myself that I must change a lot and be willing to do different things that I normally don’t do. I do feel like it is fear that is holding me back. Writing for this blog sometimes comes easy and I just write and just do. I have two books that I am working on still been a year and need to get them done and published. Want to get over the fear of being rejected and the fear of the unknown. Also, get rid of the overthinking too. Want to get rid of my fear of publishing my books and my fear of driving. I know crazy that I love to write but am scared to put some of my work out in the world. SMH. I know I have to have faith and pray the fears away.
Fears make you stop and not want to do anything. Fear has a way of getting in the way of life. Some people stay living in fear and don’t know how to get out of it. Fear can tear you down if you can’t overcome it. Being afraid can ruin your life.
Again, it can hold some back. And I don’t like that I have a little fear, but it is my life and I own it and trying to change it.
What do you think? Ever feared something in life? Do you like to take risks? Is fear getting in the way of your life? What does fear mean to you?
Have you ever thought about unplugging for a while? What I mean by that is turning off all devices, cutting off people who are not there for you, and just relaxing and having a quiet moment. I am feeling like that is what I need to do unplug from the world and all the chaos and focus on my mental health, physical health and just come out refreshed. Take a minute to really think about my future and what I really want for my family. Maybe a digital detox for a couple of weeks might help. Just thinking of ways to detox and learn to relax a little more. Trying to remain calm in chaotic situations. Going to do some research and see what I come up with and try some new things.
Just having a thinking out loud moment worrying about my mental and future. I am still a work in progress. Any advice for me? Have you been in a situation where you needed to step back and meditate for a while? How did you overcome the situation?
How is everyone’s day? Any plans, or fun activities for the day? For me, no plans today it is just me, my pen, and my notebook. Had some writer’s block early in the day, but of course, I am back at it with writing. Also trying to make up some writing goals that I had set at the beginning of the month. I have been slacking off lately and that is not a good thing.
So today I am focused on writing and planning on staying up tonight a little longer and later than normal to get some stuff done. Feel like it is taking me forever to get this book done. There are days when I am able to write away with no problem and some days, I just do not feel like being bothered with it at all. I need to be more consistent and make it happen. This month so far, I have done nothing and been in my own little world. But from this day on I am going to be on top of everything, I think I sometimes get in my own way and stop my success from happening. I am really working on that. A work in progress here. Does anyone else like this? Does anyone else sometimes feel stuck in life? Sometimes it is a damn struggle, but I will not give up.
I encourage everyone to follow their dreams no matter how long it takes or what needs to be done. Never give up on yourself and what you want out of life. And yes, I do follow my own advice lol. Been working on two books for almost a year and I am still going and willing to finish and publish them. Please follow your gut. Please follow your dreams. Be strong and know you can do it.
Well, okay I am rambling and being random lol. I hope this Sunday is what you wanted it to be, and you enjoyed fun with family and friends. Again, happy Sunday and Happy Easter. Have a good one all.
Venting….I really am trying to keep my faith and belief. I try to have patience and not think negatively. But when so much is going on in your life, and shit happens back-to-back it is hard to think positive. I feel like I am in a trance a bad one. I am just not okay today and trying to pray, trying to write, hoping that things will get better. I am at a loss right now thinking about my mom and grandpa and of course my day-to-day struggles and dealing with other people’s shit. My non-exitant love life. Feelings/ emotions are everywhere tonight. Seriously!
Ugh, what a day, what a night. Trying my hardest to not overthink. Just keep writing and keep busy…Hate when this happens but will make it through. Breathe and relax I say to myself.
Push through it no matter what. Venting a little sorry. Mind is just going right now. Hope you all are having a good weekend and making those goals. And having a fun-filled weekend. Tomorrow is a new day to begin fresh.
Just Write
