And now here comes the fear

I’ve been making some moves. Where a couple weeks ago I was feeling like I hadn’t made enough progress and today I feel very different.

It’s not that I’ve made so much more progress than before, I’ve just been more active since making the plan. I’ve been consistent and it’s paying off with even the slightest increase in readership.

There’s one thing that’s scaring me though: the prospect of going to grad school. My boys are adamantly opposed, worried that I’ll forget about them. And I how could I? Mother’s who love, rarely do anything without thinking of how it will affect their children. So the protests of my children are not falling on deaf ears.

This process is the difference between choosing the safe and comfortable option versus pushing forward into radical life changes. Honestly, right now I want to regress and do whatever is easiest. I’m shitting myself thinking all I have to do is make the move and the universe will back me up.

But I refuse to be afraid of being great. I don’t want to live my life thinking what could have happened if I had only been brave enough.

I’m thinking the next week or so is going to be about beating the fear.

And beat it I shall.

I wrote my first business plan today!

That’s right! I took a good look at what I want to get done, what it’ll take to get there and made a quick list of goals. I even set deadlines for some and a schedule for others.

Funny thing is I’ve been telling myself for weeks it’s time for a plan but I haven’t taken the time to actually create anything concrete or measurable. I think part of that is fear that if I make a plan things become all the more real. I suppose that goes back to Carla Young’s 30 day game changer post about self sabotage and those things that scare the shit out of you. ( Read more )
