Get Out of Your Pinãta

So many of us get in our own way. We get trapped in a rut by our fears and become afraid to venture out of our comfort zones. We also become hyper focused on what's not working in our life, where we are unhappy, stuck, or unable to move forward. This may happen mentally, emotionally or even possibly physically.

Sometimes we make permanent decisions for temporary situations. So what can one do?

Face your fears head on. Believe in yourself. Ask yourself~ "What is the worst thing that could happen if (fill in blank)?" Would you die? Perhaps someone would say "no" to you. Again, will you die if they did? Or would your life be in danger? Maybe you will need to start all over~ is that so bad? Starting all over can be exciting. It can be a time to re-invent oneself. As Thomas Edison said, " I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that just won't work."

It's amazing how easy life can become when we face our deepest fears. We often find out that the "fear of the fear" is greater than the actual fear itself. So take the bat and take a swing at your great fear, the pinãta in your life. Break the container that prevents you from reaching that sweetness of life!
