I did something scary back in June and everyday I’m learning to lean into the scary and accept that the fear may not ever go away. I want to share with you why that’s a good thing.

Like you, I’m just trying to make my way through this situation. What works for me one minute fails the next. Regardless, what I do want to share with you is some of what I have noticed mixed in with what happens to be rattling around in my brain right now.

I’m sure it’s no surprise that I’ve been feeling more anxious than usual. I’ve been working really hard lately to keep my anxiety at bay and it was going really well. I was feeling such a sense of relief at having figured out a way through something that has been a struggle for as long as I can remember. Which is why, when it descended on me quite ferociously this week I was caught off guard.
