LETTING GO OF 'WHAT IF...'

Fear of ‘what if’s’ can be stifling at times.  Double guessing my choices, overthinking things until spontaneity is virtually impossible, driving myself crazy with worry and doubt.  In the past, having mental hyper-vigilance prevented harm and served me.  However, for many years now I have no longer needed to be quite so careful.  I have choice about who I invite into my social atom and freedom to determine how close or far away I want them to be from me.  I have skills and abilities to nurture and care for myself that I didn’t possess when I was younger.  I can speak up and communicate my truth assertively and set boundaries when necessary.  When things don’t go the way I want them to go, I may be disappointed, hurt or frustrated but I know it is only temporary and new doors and opportunities will appear.    
Today I release my apprehensions and worries remembering that I am safe now and can relax.  When I catch myself saying ‘what if’ I will whisper words of reassurance and encouragement.  I can trust my intuition, breathe and let go. One day at a time!
