Bit of fun but I guess we all know a few people like this.

I know I have posted something similar to this but it is such a good visual to remind us that if we move away or change our position on things, then it can be a huge difference.

Both the same statements but different reactions. If we felt like no one was watching us, judging us or waiting for us to make a mistake and they were just not ‘giving a damn’ what would you do? Would you wear those clothes more often? Maybe go out for coffee or lunch on your own? Join that group even if you didn’t know anyone? For me, I love taking myself out for lunch. I might take a book with me to read or my journal to occupy myself with while waiting for my food or sometimes I people watch. I find it fun to imagine telling the people around me that I am actually a spy waiting for my handler to pass on new secrets or maybe I’m celebrating winning the lottery and I’m actually a millionaire. ❤️

When you see someone doing something you really would like to be able to do, you may think ‘well it is easy for them because …..’ and put in any word like ‘…. they are confident, had more time to prepare, got the right support….’ or anything else but wait……. they might just be feeling the same as you and are pushing through it. Sometimes feeling scared is the same for that person but they did it anyway. What would it be like if you tried that? ❤️

Small steps. Commitment. Showing yourself that you can stick at something. That is what gets improvement in your life.

This is so true. You can feel undervalued and invisible with some people but sparkling and special with others. Think about that when you continually spend time in relationships with others that dull your brilliance

Your life story is being told minute by minute in how you spend your time, which relationships you invest in, how you convey yourself through words and actions. How did today’s chapter go? Will tomorrow be another paragraph of the same story or is there a plot twist and something fresh happening? Brilliant that you get to choose, isn’t it?

When we feel nervous, our mouth becomes dry, maybe we feel our heart is beating a bit faster and our stomach has a few butterflies in it but also when we feel excited, our mouth becomes dry, maybe our heart is beating a bit faster and our stomach has a few butterflies in it. Tricky to tell them apart?!? The physical sensations are so similar that maybe when we go outside our comfort zone, we are excited for the new challenges.
