:: Monday Quotes ::

On Sunday Morning I woke up with some alarming nerves and worries . It was strange and overwhelming and at first I couldn’t quite put my finger on what exactly it was that was causing such a tremendous flood of emotion. My Mom had taken G for the night and so I took advantage of the Sunday morning silence and thought long and hard about what was troubling me. In my mind I walked through family stuff, and friend stuff, and work stuff , and everything seemed pretty normal. I sifted through each category and tried to weed out what in particular was tripping me out. Family is cool, Friends are great, and work…its amazing, but what was waking me up on Sunday morning when I had the chance to sleep in??? And then it hit me…..I am freaked out to try new things in my life. I am not talking about trying a new sushi dish, or a new lip gloss.. or even a new haircut and color. I am freaked out about breaking the mold I created for myself and putting myself in uncomfortable (to me) positions. I recently was presented with a super new and possibly awesome opportunity, and to be honest I am scared, nervous, and definitely feeling a little out of my “comfort zone”. I am not gonna fish and even ask if you all feel the same way, because I know you do in some capacity. We all do….but how do we move past this?

My only solutions was, baby steps..

I am taking a vow for the next 30 days to try something new each and every day. Even if it’s washing my hair with a different shampoo, I am gonna do it as an exercise to prove “fear is mostly mental and I will stand in my own way if I don’t let it go!”. I want to live the one shot we get at life to its absolute fullest and try to do it all…even if I fail. Rather try and fail than have not tried at all.

If you follow me on Instagram then I urge you to join along! It will be so cool to see what your version of trying something new is.

Tag #itriedit30 and show a little photo of something you did that was out of your norm.
