– Ambrose Redmoon
Going to a movie by myself seemed silly to be afraid of, but I was. When I got there, my heart was pounding and my palms were sweaty and I felt SO out of place, like everyone was looking at me.
But I knew it was important. I knew I had to do something that was outside of my comfort zone. I had to push my limits a little to make more space to become who I wanted to be.
The growth was more important than the fear.
The second time I did it, two weeks later, it was almost anxiety free. I was the teeniest bit apprehensive when I first got there, but it only lasted a couple minutes. I even ended up being the ONLY person in the whole theater during that movie. It was weird, but not uncomfortable.
Facing fear head on has been important for me. And every time I do it, the fear dissipates. Sometimes a little slower, but each time I stare down fear and refuse to back down, it's always the fear that gives way a little more.
Have faith in yourself and know that you are bigger than any fear.
