That thing we feared

Those things that we fear, the ones that we fear the most, when we start them and do them it’s amazing afterwards how we realise just how stupid it was to have feared them.

The things that we fear the most are the ones we put off the most. However, they’re the ones we really want to do the most but I’m just too fearful to start. It is the starting that’s the challenge not the doing, the doing is the easy bit and afterwards we realise why on earth did I have a fear of this thing.

So how do we get to start? We get to start by doing the small things, the small steps not the big things, the small steps and if it’s a big thing, we’ve got to do break it down to small things small tiny steps.

Small tiny steps that we won’t fear, that the brain or the mind won’t pick up on and sabotage.

That’s the trick, daily habits, small steps, tiny little things and then the compound effect comes.

Initially, we don’t see much of a change but gradually over time the momentum grows and the change becomes enormous and then we’ve gone from doing a series of tiny small insignificant steps to a giant leap that we could’ve never done before because the giant leap was too fearful.

Small steps is the answer, just 123 go, a small step never a giant leap, we never fear a small step.

There is always a way

I was out walking the dog today in one of our most loved places in nature and came across my favourite tree that I often sit on.

I was struck today as I looked at it that nature can teach us so many things. The tree had clearly at some point suffered a major catastrophe in its life and had fallen down.

But it adapted, survived and is clearly flourishing despite what would seem to be its end by falling down.

We can always find a way to recover and flourish from anything. We can accept what is, be at peace within and look for solutions now.
