I remember this day. I was walking up a mountain in Wales on my own. Normally I dress for the hike but that day I didn’t plan for how cold it would get, the higher I went.
Snow on the ground should really have given me a clue to how cold it was going to be g to become but I kept going because I was invulnerable… wasn’t I??
After leaving my footprint in a patch of snow and adding my initials (DD), taking a photo then later on realising that it looked like I’d drawn a penis in the snow, I carried on climbing.
The temperature began to drop with every 10m or so I climbed. While the temperature dropped, the wind grew…. exponentially!
But I kept going.
I began losing the feeling in my hands, but I kept going.
I eventually got to the top and the view was absolutely beautiful, but I did t stay long to enjoy it, I had my wellbeing to consider.
Why am I telling you this? Good question!
When you go through times when you seriously consider turning back or giving up, you need to think whether those thoughts and feelings are originating from your beliefs and fears, or from the absolute knowledge of the situation.
Almost every time, they are born out of your fears, it’s your job to recognise that and push through.
Even though my hands were going numb, I could see the summit and knew I could get there. That’s why I CHOSE to keep going.
The knowledge and fact that I could get there was greater than the fear that I couldn’t.
So over to you, what have you done or are you going through where the almost overwhelming feelings are that you should give up and turn around?
Let’s explore these together and see if they are valid or if they are fear-based 🤗🤗🤗
