I’m not brave, I am just tired of my own excuses-Why I am doing one scary thing a day to get me out of the horror movie my life seems like right now

For years, I waited for my confidence to magically appear before taking action. I kept thinking “Once I feel ready, I will start”. Spoiler:I never felt ready and I don’t even know if I do now. But I cam to realise, confidence doesn’t show up first-courage does.

I am going to do one scary thing everyday. I am not going to bungee jump or take a day trip to the moon-just small, uncomfortable actions that stretch me past who I used to be. Eating out alone at a busy restaurant, going up to the cute man and saying hello, posting something real instead of pretending I have it all together, showing up for myself even when I would rather hide behind excuses and procrastination.

The truth is, doing something scary doesn’t mean your fearless-it means you are tired of letting fear make decisions for you.

Why bother?

Because comfort zones are cozy but nothing grows there. Because I have wasted enough years letting fear be my loudest voice. And because the life I want is own the other side of a hundred tiny brave moments.

So today, I am choosing bravery over waiting.

What is your scary thing for today? Stay tuned for my recap next week on the scary thing I did every day this week and how it (hopefully) change something in me, no matter how small.
