You have a way with words. Your vulnerability and strength both shine through in your writing.

"The seduction of worry is strong, but the mind is stronger. Worry is a sustained form of fear caused by indecision." - loving this β™₯️

And thank you for showing both sides of the new year...worry and then faith.

I believe in myself. I can reach my goals.

Yes! My attention can often turn to worries. I've done research on how to stop the worry and purposeful action feels like the best solution. Once the worries are dealt with then the goal setting feels so easy and achievable.

The idea of writing goals in the present tense is really intriguing. I’m going to try that. Also, I knew someone who was shy. They did not move forward easily, hesitated often. We played the β€œwhat’s the worst that could happen” game and sometimes, the worst was so manageable that their hesitancy would lessen and they could take a first step.

Writing goals in the present tense helps the brain assume you will be successful. Additionally, the gratitude rolls in as I write my goals in the present tense. I can easily imagine myself in the tropics surfing and drinking coconuts during winter, which brings joy and gratitude. I write from that heart space. Have fun experimenting with it. I love the game - "what's the worst that could happen" - worries are often way worse in our minds and once talked about or written about the worries do fade.
