#werise

We rise as swans—each of us a feather in the same wing, each of us essential, each of us infinite.

Fear keeps you safe. At least— that is what you heard countless times growing up— what everyone who cared about you wove into how you looked at the world. It applied to strangers and climbing trees— doing poorly in school and choosing friends. And when you were young, that was exactly right. Fear was your guardrail— your caution sign— your whisper from the universe that ‘this’ could end up hurting you. But when you became an adult, fear changed, love. And maybe you haven’t quite caught up yet. Fear is no longer a warning, love. It’s an evaluation point. YOUR evaluation point. And if you don’t take a long hard look at how you are using fear— it’s going to become your roadblock. Look, love— after you grow up and you’re at the helm of your own life, fear is no longer something to be afraid of. It’s something to use. And the reason for that is fear is useless in and of itself. Fear is something we paint over situations we don’t want to process— or can’t— and it becomes paralyzing. And paralyzing is not a plan of action. Now, I’m not saying you should jump in to anything without thinking it through. What I am saying, love, is that you should redefine how you look at what you’re scared of. Why are you scared, really? Is it because someone told you long ago that you should be? Or is it because it’s something you’ve always believed and you’ve never re-evaluated it? Is it because you think there’s nothing you can do about it? Or is it because the “worst case scenario” is so big it tucks you into bed at night with what-ifs? Well. It’s 2020 and you want to change things. I know. We all do. So maybe this is the first thing to tackle. When you fear fear itself, you give it power. You give it power to be your decision and not your choice. So go ahead and be afraid, love. But after that passes, take action. Take action and make fear your fuel. Never your prison. ♥ // © 2019 LIVE IN THE DETAILS #werise https://www.instagram.com/p/B7DvpRIlLLu/?igshid=okfhwkilm663

*clears throat* I’ll sit this friendly reminder right here. •I’ve been offline occupying my time with a job. But tbh, it’s classic Jamie move. Pull away, get distract and run from your fears. Literally become paralyzed. •At the end of the summer I committed to run my hometowns 10k. 6 miles which for anyone could be a difficult challenge. Even more of a challenge for a person who hasn’t made an honest effort in preparing. . [Reminder: when you fail to prepare, you prepare to fail] But nevertheless, I committed, made it public, and most importantly promised myself I would do it. If I sucked, the blame would be all on me for not making the time. • As the race started, I was filled with emotion. For the first time I was racing thru the streets I grew up on. For the first time I ran with people I’ve known my entire life lining the streets cheering, taking pic or peeping thru their window blinds. I FUCKING LOVED IT! It made running for the first time in over a month simple. It made running 6+miles easy•Er. •I’m reminded we all have the opportunity to resurrect like a Phoenix! You will heal, you will overcome. Stop thinking about it...JUST DO IT! And when all else fails listen to ALL of @lizzobeeating for the missing confidence boost. I love you! #werise #womensupportingwomen #womenempoweringwomen #lovethyself #happylife #iamenough #transformationjourney #lift #squat #lafemmesporta #lafemmesportashop #runnersworld #sleepyhollow #accountabilitycoach #nikerunclub #westchesterfitness #fitforlife #fitfam #nycfit #motivationalquotes #goodvibesonly (at Sleepy Hollow, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4Fs3vrgY1L/?igshid=kimw7s0m14v8
