Why does starting something new bring fear and insecurity right to the surface?
Please don't ever let that fear keep you from doing what you were intended to do!
This weekend I am starting a Yoga Teacher Training Program. I know that I'm supposed to be doing this more than I know much else right now.
But then all week I've been doubting. Am I good enough? I don't even have a consistent practice. I'm not a vegetarian. I wonder if I'm just going to look like a fool.
It got me to thinking about when I started marathoning with Team In Training back in 2004-2005. I had this picture in my head of these long, lean, muscular runners. I was not every going to be one of those. I doubted. I questioned. I met plenty of those amazing marathoners. And then I went on to finish 4 full marathons my way--walking with determination for all 26.2 miles.
The ripples of those amazing days and time of my life are being felt still. I believe any time we start something new is a great time to reflect on past victories--large and small. And then we just move into the unknown--fear and all.
When are you going to feel the fear AND DO IT ANYWAY?
