Just Start

It's no secret that I have started sharing more of my life on social media lately. This is something that I've always felt compelled to do, but was always too embarrassed or shy.

Just recently, I came to a huge realization. EVERYTHING is uncomfortable at first. And I mean anything from starting a long paper you have to write for school to opening an online boutique. It is in human nature to be weary of change. That is natural and 100% okay. But, what makes us so special is that we can make the decision to put ourselves out there and see some serious reward from doing so.

If you have a dream or goal in life (which I hope all of you do), I know how you feel. Most of you probably feel scared or stressed out by it because you know deep down in your heart that you WILL accomplish it eventually. But, this causes you stress because you are overwhelmed by how to start, when to start, and all the "what ifs." The longer you sit and think about it in this negative, unproductive way.... the longer you stress yourself out and LET ME TELL YOU! Stress is LITERALLY toxic to the body -- I can do a separate blog post or video about that in itself.

The sooner you start doing that thing that scares you, the sooner you can become comfortable with it. Because that is the other thing -- you WILL become comfortable with anything you do consistently. You just have to rip off the bandaid sis.

One of my professors once told me "Do one thing that scares you every month."

This is something that I did not take lightly because time and time again, I find myself absolutely amazed by how much success and growth you can see when you are outside of your comfort zone. BTW, yes I am still outside of mine.

If you don't take anything else from this blog post, at least take this - I am here for anyone who wants to take the next step towards their dreams or goals. It is a lot less scary when you have a friend by your side, so PLEASE reach out to me if you need anything.
