If you're not challenging yourself, you're not changing. This week let's focus on a single fear you can challenge and in turn, change.

This is kind of bizarre. So yesterday I told my yoga teacher I was sick of him and sick of taking his classes. This is the kind of guy who gets excited as others progress and is so eager to share what he has learned and just has a big open heart and everything. But I also had some strong feelings for him and maybe took a little too much in. So whatever that was, it opened up some pain in my heart, a lot of guilt, and trying to get through what I want to say to him versus what I need to work through myself. Was I taking these classes just to know him better? I wanted to talk to him for a while. I just didn’t know what about. I wrote a few cards and didn’t give them to him and this is the response I give him. So I made some treat bags and have a special on with a painted rock on it. He doesn’t need a painted rock. Is that just some immature bribe to talk to someone when you know you’ve made a mistake, but the mistake came out in such an honest and hurtful way. I am just going to try to brush through these emotions and see what comes out. Plan on journaling a little later. This wasn’t his fault and I’m proving to be on the immature side of things here. But I am working through emotions too. And I did totally scare myself.
Accurate reporting of what I am eating
Today I fear of not being able to stand out. I’ve tried to connect with others but it ends up horrible. I get ignored and sometimes they question me and they don’t treat me the way they’d treat others.
I Am going to Trust God’s Words and not man’s words.
I am the power of attorney for my 90-year-old blind mom whose dementia is increasing. She lives in a deeply southern state (which I have never liked or understood and left the second I could; a place which I left the second I could when I was a youth ). My life, though now single and unemployed, is in California and Mexico.
I’ve managed to keep mom at home on her tiny Social Security stipend but now her money is dwindling and it seems I’m faced with applying for her for Medicaid, which is a daunting process. (I attempted once before and she was declined; the process took 15 years of my life!)
I am terrified of the financial responsibility for my mom (I do not have the financial means to assist her) and I’m also terrified of putting her in an institution because of her blindness.
Everywhere I turn there are obstacles and barriers and I just want to get back to my life in the sun. Earlier this year she had an episode which scared me, so I resigned my job, thinking I would stay in her home until her passing, which now seems nowhere in sight. She requires a huge amount of daily care.
I can’t continue in this way and I don’t know where to turn.
This week I will challenge my fear of not being good enough. More often than not I am plagued by my fear of not being good enough. Matter of fact most days I feel that I am “failing miserably at each and every thing I attempt to do”.
This week I will be mindful of all my works not just my incomplete tasks. I will embrace the fact that no one is perfect. I will trade negative self talk with positive personal praise.
I am totally stretching out of my comfort zone and reaching out like I never have before. I’m having a class an “event” invited everyone local I know to come partake of my fitness class and afterwards I will be speaking and sharing part of my story eeekkk!! My event is titled “FROM HEARTACHE TO TRIUMPH! WE ARE CHAMPIONS!” Learning it’s ok to be transparent! β€οΈ
I fear not finding a better paying job.. not being successful
I am leading a retreat this weekend and have been preparing for it for months. I feel intimidated by the august body of persons attending. My subject matter for the retreat is my own area of expertise, but probably a departure from their experience. I have prepared. My challenge is to step forward, present the material and let them receive it as they will and not worry about it any longer.
I have been widowed for 4 months and I’m fearful of spending the rest of my life alone.
