Starting and Stopping
Starting and stopping...could be a title of my book. I start so many things and then I stop them and I feel compelled to stop this cycle as it is really starting to annoy me. I start eating right and then I stop, I start many projects and then I stop, I start thinking a new way then I stop and slip back into my worry-fear prone thinking, and so my pattern continues. I am doing some spring cleaning and I want to start with my mind. I believe that what I think about, what I fill myself up with in terms of my thought life, that is what my actions are going to reflect. If I think worry-fear thoughts then my actions will reflect that. When I am with a large group or even a small group when I am filled with those thoughts then I am withdrawn, quiet, not confident at all but when I am full of the right way of thinking then I contribute, I am confident that what I am saying is worth something. Worrying whether someone will like me or accept me, I stop. Worrying whether or not my project is good, I stop. Worrying that I won't achieve my goal, I stop. By coming out of this messy closet called my mind, I want to start the process of cleaning my thinking. But the fear that I'll fail keeps my closet closed...it is truly a battle. Let the battle begin!

You won't fail as long as you keep moving. Expect bumps on the way. Greet them, fall down, get up and then move on. I have had Many spills along the way, but I'm trying something new....I'm not stopping. Let me fill you in on a secret, it works! Don't expect perfection because it is fake and boring. Keep going mama. Don't stop.
