One Minute, One Hundred Words - From Fear to Confidence

One Minute, One Hundred Words - From Fear to Confidence

The Journey from Fear to Confidence

Setting out on a quest means you have to think about big picture things; the dangers, possible problems, and solutions. It can be overwhelming. My transition to be more confident came from micro-successes. The little stair steps; a few miles here, a few there, starting with a small rapid, and moving up to bigger. Sometimes I rely on family or a team to not only share the experience but to tell stories, jokes, and ease away the scary feelings. It comes down to brain training. I try to feed my brain positivity. I try to build on simple positive experiences.
