What-if’s

The question goes floating about in my head over and over and over. But what does this what if really even do? You ask all the questions regarding something, but then it comes up like a deep root of a tree; but what if? Those crippling words come out of your mind derailing all sense of surety. Doubt floods in and then bam the one decision you thought you were so sure of now has cracks starting to appear. More and more until finally the shatter happens. Were you wrong for even thinking you could change? Were you wrong to think that you could go outside your comfort zone? 

I’m going to say this, Absolutely not! Those doubts, those tiny cracks, do not trust them. They are false and lies that your ego and old beliefs are trying to get you to believe. They are your ceiling limit come to life to keep you inside your tiny box. But those decisions, those steps you are taking are your higher self speaking to you. You are on the right path but that pesky head noise of your own inner demons try to condemn you to that low standing. 

Recognize this to be so, that those doubts and fears are nothing more than whispers of a closed circuit. Meaning that all that old wiring, that self worth, those old beliefs ingrained in your psyche are the reason for your halt in progress, for your doubts in proceeding forwards. So how can we move forward in the face of this fear? By reassuring ourselves that there is light to be found at the other end. By catching this thought we are able to sway it. We can see it and say no, this is not my reality. 

I also suggest that you speak about it with your supportive friends. When you have people in your life that you can tell them your fears. I have found recently that my friends have given me strength in moving forwards. Their support and words have helped to give me reassurance. And for you it may just be the push you need in order to toss aside that what if. But know that fear will always be there, it’s normal. Don’t think that everyone goes around without fear, that you are the only one who is afraid. We all share in this emotion, and knowing others have this problem gives me hope that I can move past it and squash the what if sonnet I have in my head.
