Feel the fear and do it anyways if it's what you decide is right for you. Don't let your fear dictate your actions.
Truly words of wisdom.
I was very scared and afraid to make that move, too, Sara. Afraid of what would happen, of what was to come. Afraid of what the future held for me. I desperately wanted to hold on to what I always knew to be my comfort zone, my safe place, my home, my life. Calling a L was something that I perceived as being drastic and being...final.
Well I finally mustered the strength to make the call because I had had enough. I was still scared, but I knew I had to do it. I had to get it over with. So I made that call to the L, and I survived. It wasn't all that bad. A little sad, but definitely not bad.
And you do not have to make any decisions, permanent or otherwise, right then and there. A good L will not push you.
You will be ok. No matter what happens, you will get through this.
Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward. ~ Joseph Campbell
