1.) Embrace Fears
Don’t shy away from your fears. Take
baby steps if necessary. It’s important to not let fears run your life.
By living a 'fearful' life, you’ll miss unforgettable adventures,
experiences, and opportunities.
Are you afraid of making mistakes? (Aren't we all?) Don’t be.
We are all bound to make a few mistakes here and there. Learn from them instead
of living in denial. Try turning your fears into a source of
inspiration- for you and for others.
2.) Learn Through
Adversity
Adversities are a part of life, and we
choose the way we react to each adversity we face. Tough, challenging
times can teach us a lot about ourselves and others. Others who may or may not deserve a place in our life. Adversity can make us come
face-to-face with learning how we deal with integrity, responsibility, drive,
and fear. Adversity is an important part of life because it can teach us so
many life skills - things they don't teach in 'school'- and valuable lessons.
3.) Be Yourself
You are you. (yes it's true! Thanks Dr. Seuss) You are amazing. You are full of
so much intent and potential and unwielded power. So- instead of trying to be someone else or trying to be what everyone else wants you to be or even just trying to please everyone- just be YOU. You are you for a reason. You have so much to offer to this world, and you are the only one who can offer it. Everyone is different and it’s our differences which make us unique and
awesome.
Yes, I have insecurities. Yes, I have fears.
Yes, I have oddities. Learn to embrace your insecurities, fears, and oddities.
Love yourself for all that makes you, you.
4.) Conquer Doubts
Challenges can be scary. But, challenges can
make you so strong- stronger than you ever realized you could be. Instead of
thinking about or worrying over all of the scary things associated with challenges, try to find
the positive notes. Those positive aspects will help calm your fears and give
you the right mindset about the challenges that you might face. Why live a life full of doubt when you can
embrace challenges, look at the positives, and clear life's hurdles with room to spare?
5.) Prepare for Success
It’s all about starting each
day with positive vibes. Simple little steps like creating a morning routine,
set a daily schedule, outlining your week, making a priority list … do whatever
it takes to make sure you have your head in the right place, your mind focused,
and your priorities clearly outlined and easily re-iterated. Try to integrate this into every aspect of life. Spontaneous is great, but not all the time- plan ahead for unknowns every once in a while, especially if what you are doing is something that is already causing you anxiety.THINK WAY AHEAD- look way down the road past the one year plan or 5 year plan to the 20 year plan. You'd be surprised how much along the way you wouldn't have accounted for. Take it from someone who's 30 years in and looking both back and forward to see what the future holds. Sometimes a little planning goes a long way.
