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.
