I was afraid but I did it anyway.

[Thankfulforhelp22]

I recently returned home from travel to Europe. Months ago I agreed to go with my wife and part of the reason was to lean into fear and anxiety and stretch myself.

At first I regretted it and cursed myself for the decision. The worry and fear was always lurking. Gradually it subsided. As departure day approached I found I was mostly concerned with preparation and timing and not really anxious in a painful or bad way.

In fact I was ready to get started. It was a “bring in on” mentality. I was tired of having it hanging over my head. I wanted to see what the experience held.

Long story short, the trip went very well. I did have anxiety during the trip but I also had fun and saw and learned stuff I never would have otherwise. I’m glad I made the decision and I am allowing myself to claim a victory and be proud I took this step. I prayed for help with this and I feel my prayers were answered.

Thankful.

I hope this will lead to more victories.

Well done you for facing your fears and anxieties. You should be proud of yourself. I too try to do things out of my comfort zone and I’m always proud when I do them.

Again well done you
