What is one thing you want to let go of?

Fear. I have these moments where crippling fear takes over my mind. Fear of not being good enough, fear of letting someone down, fear of making the wrong decision. It causes temporary distortion of my reality, as if I lose sight of who I am for a second -- typically, I am confident and sure of myself and my actions.

I truly believe in the power of our thoughts, and when you let that fear infiltrate, you project that back out into the world whether you realize it or not. Your fear pushes rational thought out the window, and can often manifest the exact results you're scared of in the first place. You, in turn, become your own worst enemy.

Instead of “what if I’m not good enough?” it should be affirmations “I am good enough, I have so much to offer this world and I am brave”. Making that slight correction in your thinking, replacing fear and anxiety with love and compassion for yourself can only breed more love and compassion in the world around you, which in turn allows you to be the best versions of yourself.

It isn’t always easy in those moments to push out that fear, it takes practice. I am constantly reminding myself to be patient and practicing love and compassion every single day.
