Always more to learn...

I'm thinking about mantras to help overcome the hesitation from those fear hurdles that pop up here and there.

For perspective: "What's she going to do, dump me?" (If I've already faced my worst fears, why am I hung up on anything else?)

Give myself reassurance: "I have everything I need to handle whatever unfolds."

Embrace fear in this situation as it proves that I'm stepping outside of my comfort zone and doing things differently. Instead of getting slowed down by fear, I can feel proud for moving through it.

Regarding my issues of wanting to control things (with anyone) to minimize my discomfort:

Remember to be an observer, think: "Isn't that interesting?", and STFU.

I'm sure that all sounded like a detour, but I'm thinking of it as a prerequisite. Now I'm headed back over to the goals thread for a second try.

Detour?!? I love this... so much so that I am going to steal it.
