So many people this week have told you - "You are so brave for traveling on your own. I could NEVER do that!" Which is so funny to me because I NEVER used to travel and the thought of airplanes, airports and going it alone was TERRIFYING to me. Yes...here I am. But I have to confess. I'm really not that brave. Facing FearsBeing in New Orleans this week for the Team Beachbody Summit event really has my mind going. And this ONE topic really stood out to me ... I kept HEARING and SEEING it over and over... Limiting beliefs. What are they? They are things that you believe about yourself that hold you back from realizing and going for your goals and full potential. Most often times you don't realize they are even there. It comes out when you think about a big dream and then hesitate to admit it or say it out loud...because YOU could NEVER do that... Am I right? SO while a lot of days I put on a brave face I'm really not that brave most times underneath it all. And I'm going to admit it today. Face your fears. Jump. What is the worst that could happen? Example number one: I was homesick when I first got here. I wanted to turn right around and come back home. That uneasy feeling where you feel like you aren't where you need to be....you should just go home. I cried. LOTS. Silly right? But I'm supposed to be brave...and here I was having an anxiety attack. Today is day five. I'm on the original flight I set up. I'm ready to dig deeper and look at my fears and anxieties and GROW from it. After all... what if something even MORE amazing happened because of it? Do you struggle with anxiety?
What have you done to overcome it? Have you ever been homesick?

I get it! I've cried to when out of my comfort zone and traveling alone to a summit is no small feat! But you cried and did it anyway which is the best feeling. I like to enter a room with someone next to me, when Im on my own I feel so vulnerable and yes scared. Im shy and just chatting random strangers up is not easy. Good post. Take care.

I really enjoyed this post. It's nice to hear someone else goes through something similar and can overcome. Something that really spoke to me is the part where you say, "Face your fears. Jump. What is the worst that could happen?"

so much YES in this comment Jordyn! Isn't it INSANE that WE are our own worst enemy? all these voices in our heads that tell us we suck, we can't blah blah blah and OTHER BS - and we just have to PICTURE it. us SUCCEEDING. MANIFESTING our own greatness and it will show itself. I'm proud of you girl for going after it and doing it - and look at what all you are capable of when you get past that anxiety - fear is FALSE EVIDENCE APPEARING REAL
