If I Wasn’t Afraid
This is the ongoing journal of my personal awakening. Through up to date and un-edited realness, I hope to help you walk through your own awakening with more balance, love and ease.
If I wasn’t afraid I would jump. If I wasn’t afraid I would say exactly what was on my mind at any moment.
I soar. I leap. I fly. I follow one step and then the next that is right in front of me, sequentially, without wondering what is in the future. I see the very next step and take it without looking back, or worrying over the 10 following steps.
Am I doing this right? Why do I always question that?
If I wasn’t afraid I wouldn’t compare myself to others. I wouldn’t ask what are they thinking, as I write this? Aren’t these writing prompts supposed to be creative? Mine certainly don’t feel creative. And yet I am creating them in the moment, so how are they not creative in the very sense of the word?
If I wasn’t afraid I would broadcast this to the world. I would record myself dancing every day and share it. I would do live videos and share them. I wouldn’t be concerned with what others think. I would dance for myself first, and not be concerned how it is received by others — no expectations. No holding back. No holding back from fear. Moving through the fear instead to shift it in the moment.
Feel the feeling and do it anyways.
