I'm doing a similar thing as you, and I keep having this moment where I feel like "okay I'm done now, I can stop showing up" But lately I've been asking myself,,, what if I just kept showing up forever?🙏🏼
Yeah, I'm just trying to take it one day at a time and trust that through the doing, I will build the muscle of showing up in a new more sustainable way... we shall see!
I don't even know how I stumbled into this video, but it made me think and reflect a little, as a person am really God damn shy, everything scares me, every time I try to do something now or try to get over my fear of talking to people I always end up backing down, why? Got no idea, I've always been this way since I was a kid, I don't know how to get over this problem, people always tell me to get over it as if it was that easy but i just can't, I really want to be more social and and have fun at social gatherings or parties, or be passionate about sharing something new that I want or am learning but it's just a never-ending cycle of fear and anxiety. Even now as I write this my hands are a bit shaky since am writing this for everyone and the thought of that's makes me anxious, I really don't know what to do.
@chch-9624 Dear Gabriel, you are much braver than you give yourself credit for. Sometimes, we can be blinded to how we've evolved as we cling tightly to the identity we've constructed out of our past story. Even our pain can be comfortable when it's familiar. You say that "everything scares you, and every time you try to do something, you always end up backing down." But that is an old part of your story. You chose to put yourself out there by sharing your comment. This is proof that you have been writing a new chapter of your story without even knowing it. Your desire to connect with others and your ability to share your experience came out stronger than your fear and anxiety. And in doing that, you've already touched two people's hearts (@georgepoulos and myself). Keep going...
Good Morning Angel.

I enjoyed reading your comment for what it's worth 🙏🏼
