Stepping out on faith, pursuing your dreams, and embracing new experiences can be daunting, perhaps even scary.
You may want to go back to school, take a class, and learn something new. Perhaps you want to start a business or plant a garden.
Whatever your dream may be, go for it! You owe it to yourself to give it a try.
I know.
What if you fail?
Ok…
What if you don’t?
What if you do fail and you get back up? And if you fail, you get back up again.
Ask yourself a question.
What is the thing that would bring you joy?
What would you love to do?
Maybe you don’t want to skydive or run a marathon. Perhaps your goal is to perfect Aunt Suzie's Christmas recipe that has eluded you for twenty years. Go for it!
Learning a new skill, exploring a hobby, or simply saying "yes" to an unfamiliar experience can refresh your mind and spark new joy in ways you didn’t expect.
Challenging ourselves promotes growth, and that growth isn’t just about what we achieve-it’s about who we become in the process. It's about the journey as well as the destination.
Yes, destination is important, but the journey itself holds significant value!
New experiences can help build confidence, bring fresh perspectives, and remind us that life has more to offer than the routines we’ve grown accustomed to.
So, how can you add a level of self-care to your routine?
Whether you take a bold leap or take one step at a time, every action is a step toward your destination.
Don’t worry- just start!
Do that internet search to find the class you're interested in, whether it's in-person or online. Bake that pie, take that trip, or pick up that book.
Try your hand at something you’ve never done before. Self-care isn’t always about comfort-it’s also about discovery. And you, my friend, deserve both.
