New things can be scary

These thoughts have been consuming me this morning. “ I won’t know what it will look like until I just jump in and try, I just want to try my own thing my own way and see what happens, just try something new, I know it’s scary to start something I’ve never done, but I just want to see where it takes me!” Its crazy, but I can visualize really well what I want and it seems so clear in my head, but when things don’t look the same in reality as they do in my mind I tend to back off a little and then fear sets in when I think about it all. When I allow fear to come in I become numb and I hesitate in the future because I remember how it felt and that discomfort is not at all inviting. However I have learned that if I look at the situation and what I wanted and how it was totally opposite to what I expected and use it as a lesson then I feel peace consume me and I realize that I’m the only one in charge of how I see things then what I want can look differently from past experiences to present and future ones. Since fear lives in the future I don’t actually need to indulge there. What if I were to just think about now and the emotions I am in now? What if I took time to understand things now, just the simple things I can see, touch, taste, feel and be actively involved in this movement? What if I give myself more credit for my efforts instead of being upset for all my imperfections? What if I lived in such a way that my thoughts were always on my side, like I was always as understanding with myself as I am with others? What if I just changed the thoughts of lack and struggle to thoughts of abundance and growth? Starting now I am working on these things. I am in charge of how I want to feel and how I want to view my life. I am in charge of creating a life of abundance and peace, it all starts with my mind and where I allow my thoughts to lead me, I really do just want to jump in and try something new, it’s not that big of a deal. I can do it! #lifebyemily #fromhairtosoul #noworriesaboutthefuruture #thinkpositive #startsomewhere #moveforward
