Here's to an uncomfortable 2020

Turning the calendar to a new year naturally brings a compulsion to reflect. Reflection isn’t easy for me. In the past it was a great opportunity to replay all my failures and missteps. I used to get really judgmental with myself. Over the past few years, I’ve slowly adopted a new perspective and have been creating a new story that is kinder and more objective.

This year I will continue to open myself to growth by spending more time outside of my comfort zone. This desire comes in direct conflict with my programming that says playing it safe, acting small and saying no is the right way to live. But instead, I’m going to take chances, rise to the occasion, and embrace whole-body yeses.

I’ve allowed myself to live in a space where I only did things that I was good at. What a safe and happy place. I’ve decided that living there won’t get me what I want. So, I’ll be going to events by myself, talking to strangers, and doing things that I’m almost certain to suck at.

Thank you for supporting, challenging and walking with me on this journey.
