If you’re not following me on Instagram, then you’re not aware of the secret I’ve been keeping from you. I wanted to wait until Motivation Monday to share it with you. Last week, My husband and I had the opportunity to participate in a KC Glow 5K run. My husband exercises regularly and running the whole race was fun to him. I on the other hand was an absolute wreck, I was so nervous. To be honest, I have not regularly exercised in quite sometime. So, I assume I would be the one past out on the side of the pavement.
I started the race with a light job, but after a half mile of jogging. I decided walking would be the best option for me. I walked while my husband ran ahead. I caught up with him after the first glow station. He laughed that he waited for a while for me to meet up with him.
Throughout the race I experienced a influx of emotions; I was scared, nervous, and excited. While walking/jogging, my legs started to hurt, stomached cramped, and I wanted to quit. But I kept going and eventually I finished! When I crossed the finished line, I felt a great sense of accomplishment and thought why haven’t I done this before. What was I so scared of? I did this. The next morning, I woke up and told my husband I wanted to go for a run.
I learned that fear can paralyze you. Fear will tell you you’re not enough, you’re not worthy, and you cant. When I crossed the finished line, I told fear to kiss my ASS. Whatever, You are fearful of that is holding you back – Tell that fear to kiss your ASS! You can do it!
What are you scared of? What’s holding you back? Let’s make steps toward eliminating fear and get closer to your goals!
