Free Frightened Person Cliparts, Download Free Clip Art, Free Clip ...When it comes to looking after ourselves and becoming a success we often have to face our fears, however much we try to avoid them.

I felt I conquered a fear today, taking my son to school as I get so anxious about the gaps between trains and the platform, as some of them are quite big, and I saw a little girl fall down the gap between the train and platform once, and has made fearful ever since.

However today I had to do it. Its isn’t about me necessarily but my son, because he is still young it frightens me, so I tend to lift him off and on the train.

The other things I fear going on the topic of travel is missing my stop, I get so worried about it. I have no idea why as I have done plenty of journeys where I haven’t done this, but whenever I get on a train or bus that fear is there, but I face it and deal with it.

Fear isn’t something we should be scared of, as it is there to help protect us, nevertheless it can cause us to imagine the worst case scenario a lot of the time and then we can do the thing of talking ourselves out of it, but when you do face the fear with no harm caused we can feel heroic.

When Henry was little I used to get worried about him falling down escalators as he did last year before Christmas and had to be taken to A and E, because he fell.

Sometimes we have to face our fears to get to the next stage in our lives, however daunting it can be, but just face them and write down how you will deal with such hurdles should they occur to help you to the road to success.

Many thanks for reading,

Obstacles (jumping hurdles)

Life is about facing many obstacles and when I think of that I think of jumping hurdles, and some obstacles can become a lot harder than others. For example, you want to build your career, but there may be child care costs to think about or you notice people not being kind to you at work, because they resent what you are trying to do, and this puts you off.

If it is people trying to knock you over, than rise above it and let them deal with those feelings, as its not your problem its theirs.

write down your fears and what is stopping you to change a habit or make life change that you know will benefit you in the long run.

What is worrying you?

What’s the worse thing that can happen?

Be honest with yourself, and what bad habits are stopping you from achieving your dreams.

I have recently chosen a different career path and working in various nurseries, but I am starting to feel is this for me? Should I stick with it or go for something else?

Those are my obstacles I am facing at the moment, and I know that I will come to a decision whether this career change is for me or not. What has helped me is keeping a list of Pros and Cons, and I am in the meantime going to look for something else and decide from there, where is my next move is going to be.

Sometimes you have to alter your dreams and goals, and that is ok, taking a different route can help. Facing those hurdles head on is the key and not to be afraid just take each path in your stride and you will soon be able to jump those hurdles with no problems at all.
