Legit scared to start training with Quincy tomorrow.
Yes - I have some severe cervical spine issues, and we will have to figure that out as we go, but that’s not what scares me. I know that I need to start moving the rest of this junk or I will lose strength/mobility/stability etc and things will just get worse.
And I’m not scared of the commitment either. I don’t do a lot of things, but when I do choose something, I commit to it fully - mind • body • heart • soul.
What I’m scared of is lookin dumb. Feeling shame when I fall down because I’ve allowed my leg and hip muscles to atrophy into celery sticks.
I’m scared of being vulnerable and putting myself in someone else’s hands and saying ‘Can you help me with this… mess of a me?’
Carl Jung famously stated “Where your fear is, there is your task.”
My fear of embarrassment and looking dumb has been keeping me from committing to the task of strengthening my body so that I can live whatever remaining years I have more joyfully and abundantly.
*In the 90’s we had a clothing brand called No Fear. It was cheesy and I never wore it (well, maybe once) but anyway… Who wants to go thrift store scavenging with me!? > because imma rock that s**z now. Maybe get some Oakleys while I’m at it. Sorry Q. 💪😎
