There is an amazing feeling when you overcome a certain fear. Although, anxiety can play a huge role when you face a task that scares you it is well worth it to ride it out and see what can happen.

As a child I was very shy and afraid to try anything new. I never felt encourged by my parents to try anything new such as hobbies or sports. So you can only imagine as a young adult this feeling stayed with me. I had no faith in myself and always thought I would fail. I would get so scared even going on a job interview.

The funny thing is I always landed on my feet. This sent a huge message that if you face your fear you can do anything or at least know you tried. In my career I was very confident but was not the same when it came to my social life. I was still a bit shy and always wanted to fit in. All my insecurities were just in my head.

Then I just challenged myself to take the confidence I felt at work and apply it to my dating life. Everything started to change for me and I became confidence in myself and it was showing on the outside. I don’t blame by parents for me being so shy or afraid to new things at all. As I got older I knew that only I could make the changes that needed to be made.

I still my doubt myself but I will try anything now and know in my heart that it is a win win situation. So as Nike’s use to say “JUST DO IT”.
