I like being honest on here. Being brutally honest with yourself is the only way forward.
Whilst cycling to work yesterday I hit a patch of black ice, and came off with an abrupt thud onto the tarmac. I'm pretty much fine, several bruises, and a stiff neck today.
But it's made me reflect on life, and actually set off a cycle of self-doubt in my head.
Am I doing the right thing?
How can I cope?
Can I really make a difference?
Whilst I pondered these questions, I let my mind go quiet. (Albeit briefly!)
A thought came into my head...
"You Are Stronger Than You Imagine"
Wow... ok. Most of my intrusive thoughts like that are worrying or fearful.
I felt instantly compelled to write it down, so I did...
"You are stronger than you imagine."
I guess the past 6 months has really taught me something about myself, and now my subconscious is changing. This scared and anxious voice is gradually realising that it doesn't have to be like that.
It made me think of everyone on NMP. We all worry about "what if's" and most of our fears are imagined. They never manifest themselves.
Deep down, I don't think any of us really need to worry. Because we are ALL "stronger than we imagine" when life really throws us a curve ball.
Sometimes we need REAL drama in our lives to show us just how strong we are.
So my message to you today is worry slightly less. :winks: Because if shit does really happen in your life, you will find an inner strength you never knew you had. And you'll look back on all the time you spent worrying and you'll realise it was all for nothing, and that you were strong all along.
