Be-YOU-tiful Adaptive Warrior
Overcoming Fear: Part 1
We all face challenges in life and more than that we all struggle with how uncomfortable it is to not know what’s going to happen.
We get fixated on the “what ifs” and begin a dangerous road of fearing the future, the outcomes, the unknown.
This isn’t living, and this isn’t healthy.
As I navigated 4 months from deciding to amputate my leg above the knee until the surgery date I ran the gamut of emotions, questioning my decision, wondering if it was the right choice, pondering and fretting over the “what ifs”.
Let me tell you, there are a LOT of “what ifs” when you have 4 months to think about it. What happened to me within that 4 month time frame was nothing short of a miracle and one that I will forever be in awe over.
Something changed within myself, in my deepest part of my subconscious that day in November 2018, just a month out from my surgery. I was transformed from worrying about a future I couldn’t even fathom to a place of peace.
At that moment I began living for each moment and knew that I was going to be alright, no, more than alright, I was going to overcome and be a fighter.
This is an opportunity for each of you as you navigate your journey called life. You don’t have to be ruled by fear of the unknown, but embrace the moments that you are living in.
A quick reminder to let go and live for the moment. Let go of what you cannot control.
Finding peace in the moment, being totally present and letting go of what you cannot control.
You deserve that happiness.
You deserve to live a full and healthy life.
Smile more!
Today, I want you to let go of what you cannot control, take several deep breathes, and allow the warrior within you out.
Fight the battles of today.
Let go of what is uncertain- your tomorrow.
You are a warrior,
You are wonderfully made,
You are special!!
And as always,
Be Healthy,
Be Happy,
Be YOU!!
Much love,
Angie
