What Scares you?

Of the top things that people are scared of, public speaking is the number one thing.  Interesting to me, because I have always been a public speaker.  It never bothered me to get up in front of a crowd to say something. I suppose I just trust my ability to communicate in a way that people can relate and understand. 

Confidence is something that is missing from many people's lives.  Your ex husband ran you into the ground verbally abusing you.  You believe what he said about you because he said it so often that it has to be true, right?  I AM ugly.  It IS my fault that I can't finish a project around the house.  I am the reason the kids misbehave in the grocery story.  If I were more attentive, more of a disciplinarian, prettier, less independent, skinnier, healthier, better, had less friends, leaned on my husband more, had more sculpted arms, was more fit, THEN I would be a better person.  Ladies, this is emotional abuse.  Is this you?  Is your confidence tanked because you have begun to buy into the lies about yourself?  Are you hanging on to false dialogue about yourself because someone you loved or trusted or both said it about you?  Click Here if you want to get out of that cycle.

Here are some other things that people are afraid of:
Going to the dentist
Snakes
 Flying
 Spiders and insects 
Enclosed spaces
 Mice
 Dogs
 Thunder and Lightning

Of that list, I am afraid of enclosed spaces.  Most specifically, getting stuck in tight places.  This could be physically or mentally.  Your boss calls you in to question you about something that happened at work.  He calls you into his office.  Your palms are sweaty.  Your chest feels tight. You are a nervous wreck.  What does he need to talk to me about??  You go over the last week at work and think of a thousand things he could be needing an explanation for even though you handled your interactions correctly, or so you thought.  Have you felt like that?  Is that you?  Click here to join a Facebook group to learn more about how to put these fears to rest.

What are you afraid of?  Drop your comments in the box so we can discuss what keeps us up at night.  I am afraid of the dark.  Afraid of the unknown.  Afraid of snakes.  Of those three things I am scared of, the dark is number one.  Nothing good grows in the dark.  The dark can bring out our insecurities, can lead to unhealthy thinking, could be something under the bed, anything really.  Mental health is something that needs the light shined upon.  It is a crisis in America today especially with this crazy virus.  At times it seems that the cure is worse than the problem.  So many taking their lives, falling into deep depression, feeling hopeless and helpless.  Hope is a major factor in bringing light into your world.  When we have hope, our dark days seem a tiny bit more bearable.  Let us all turn our flashlights on and shine them so that others can see us and know that we are willing to be real and honest and shine our lights.  Our little Christian lights can shine into the darkness where fear resides.  Go forth and be fabulous, Friends!  I am launching a private Facebook group called the Best Days are Made Brigade.  Join here if you are tired of living your life in fear.  Fear of the expectations of others, fear of the dark, thunder, public speaking, or just simply fear of the unknown.  We are going to work through many of these fears and get on track to build our confidence so that we can shine our light so others can find that way.  Join me here.

Always remember, 
Best Days are Made
