Quiet, shy, happy just being in the corner. But always had a yearning to be free. Never confident, free to not be afraid to do what i wanted to do, what was in my heart to do. Being around people literally scared me to death!! The fear of people looking at me and wondering what they were saying about me. Then one day ... FROM SHY TO CONFIDENT you come to this realisation that I'm not afraid or shy anymore, and I don't want to feel like this anymore. No thank you... You feel a shift of energy that is quite overwhelming!!. Then the confidence takes hold. This all happened when I was in grade 7 and we had a speaking competition. And I made it to the point of having to speak in front of the entire school!! 😲 (you could imagine my absolute fear!!) but I did it. I felt a wave of confidence and change come over me. I still had a long way to go but I knew i was on the right path. Now remember this was like 25 years ago..oh boy that makes me feel old lol. I think back then i knew i wanted my voice to be a change that helped others find their voice and confidence and explore life. It only lasted for a while and then I retreated into quiet and shy..AGAIN
About 3 years ago I felt that shift of energy again, and i was not letting go of it that was for freaking sure. Even today I still feel that shy girl poke her head out every now and then, but i chose to go with confidence, gratitude and my own voice. Practising yoga and meditation plays a huge part in all of this now, which I have such appreciation and gratitude for. These days I love meeting new people and connecting with like minded people. I love seeing new places,hearing other woman's stories, being in front of the camera even!! and now I have a passion for the beach!!. My husband and i have a dream of living near the beach and smelling the fresh air. There is nothing more freeing than having the freedom and confidence to believe in you, to let the real you shine out into the universe. I'm not saying it is easy because it isn't. But you can do it. Just take a deep breath and shift your energy into..
I am confident.
I am free to be me.
I still get afraid, but that's ok. Let that fear Fuel me to shine as my true self.
