When curiosity is bigger than fear.

When curiosity is bigger than fear.

It was 2019 and I was standing outside work in my lunchbreak, pacing up and down trying to come up with a plan.?

The problem was I didn't know what I was trying to do.??

I just knew I felt stuck. Trapped by the lovely life I had created.??

I didn't realise at the time, but I was changing.? Evolving.

Because of this, my life simply didn't fit me anymore but I no idea how to change it.

Here's the thing.??

Before anything else,?I needed to HEAL.

In fact, we?all need to heal.? From big or small?trauma.? We might not acknowledge the smaller stuff but it's just as important. It could be something like?not getting enough attention or being listened to as a child.??It could be that simple.?

The impact can stay with us to adulthood and to the present day.

So back to 2019,?here's what I did:

  • I started getting some counselling.?
  • But I needed something else.
  • I read some good books on the subject.
  • But I needed something else.
  • I gave up alcohol.
  • But I still needed something?else.
  • I started journaling.?

It's the only thing I've found that allows me to be honest, explore my past and not feel judged.? Gradually I was able to feel the shift start to happen - mainly in?my self-belief and confidence.

When asked about change, author?Elizabeth Gilbert said,??"Your curiosity needs to be bigger than your fear."

And that's what happened.

I got curious.?

Soon after that memorable lunchbreak in 2019,?I resigned, moved to Portugal and set up my own business.? All within 2 years!

I'm grateful for this journey but boy it was so frustrating before I started to feel the shift.?

Now, my job is to help guide others through this jungle of fear and 'stuckness.'? I've been there and found a path through it and I can get you through too.?

If you resonate with any of the above, comment CURIOSITY and I'll get in touch.?
