Why Simmer when you can Sizzle?
Why simmer when you can sizzle?
Wait, so you're afraid to shine
because you're worried about
the opinion of people around you
... who are also afraid to shine?
Sounds like a severe case of needing new people around you!
You want to change but you're holding yourself back, and why?
WHY? Ask yourself.
Instead of others stealing your motivation, remember that the reason you're seeking change is your motivation!
Ask yourself, why might you be seeking change?
Look at the diagram above ... why not sketch your own mind map, similar to this one?
Add your own reasons.
See if you can identify just what it is that you are after, how you'd prefer to be. What is it that you're no longer satisfied with?
How would you feel if you made that change?
Why is it important to you?
I've created the 'Your Why' diagram as a prompt but go ahead and create your own.
Don't wait for the right time ...
Only you can do this and if your stress response is triggered when you try to step out of your comfort zone, take a look at my earlier blog to learn why.
It's time to push through those boundaries.
Boundaries are not about getting other people to like your decision. Healthy boundaries are about making your own decision, based on your own best interests, yet at the same time, accepting that other people may not like it. But that's OK!
Let them simmer. It's your turn to shine!
Fear not and ...
Love those who allow you to do so.
