This applies to so many things in my life right now. I am trying to focus on dealing with challenges and problems, and I think I am locked in. Although I float between the Learning Zone and Fear Zone with the self-confidence, I am building in that area.
My swings apply to my Lupus, weight loss, health in general, work and then life (family and friends). I feel pulled in so many directions, and want everyone to be happy with me, I forget to be happy with myself. Staying in the Fear Zone is something I do not want to do. It seems I don’t consciously think that I am there.
Today I put myself out there…extending my comfort zone. I spoke up for myself, and felt validated afterwards. It is so hard, especially when I think others have a preset idea. It is good to be heard, listened to, and acknowledged for my thoughts and ideas.
Presenting myself in a way that speaks self-confidence, I have gained more self-confidence. Ironic really, and now I want to grow more.
What zone do you linger in? How have you conquered your personal growth or not?
Blessings today and always.
Ya, I am struggling. To stay positive, to be encouraging, to be who I want to be.
Trying to believe it.
Someone may need this today. I know I do.
I went to my couch to 5k program last night and truly struggled. I am still sore from the Princess 5k, and the seven hour drive home. Ugh.
Well, the worst part was getting up at 3 am! Yes, 3:00 am!! We had to be in our sections by 5:00 a.m. So bus transports to the EPCOT staging area, walked around a bit, chatted with others, and got nervous.
Y’all! I did this…well, Carmen and I did this! And survived…eh, sort of! 
It was 74 degrees and about 80 percent humidity. Ugh…not the best for this type of race…but again we survived. Disney knows how to put on an event. 
Not the most flattering picture…but I will take it! I cried when I crossed the finish line…Y’all – four years ago I had to have a scooter to be able to survive our family trip to Disney. I could never had walk over 20,000 steps. So very grateful for my gastric sleeve, even with my 30 pound regain, for the opportunities to enjoy my life again. To be able to experience these types of events with my friends and family is truly the BEST thing…truly grateful.
