What Scares You Might Not Others

The situations of what scares you might not others.  However, you might be surprised at what is scary and what is not.

We just updated our bikes to go on more adventures.  Granted I haven’t ridden one for many years, but I hopped right on and took off.  It wasn’t till I was coming on to a corner, on a hill with a narrow path, that made my anxiety and fear come forward.  

I kept trying to tell myself I would be okay and my partner was forging forward like nothing was wrong.  It didn’t scare him.  Hence,   what scared me didn’t scare him!

Situations that Scare Us

Fear can mean many things to different people.  

Fear of the unknown

The Fear of getting sick

Fear of losing something special

How we look at the things that cause fear, is how we determine our level of it.  For instance, something we haven’t tried before can be scary.

Going down a dark alley or driving at night.  Being home alone in a thunderstorm.  

Does it happen all the time? 

Is there something we can do about it?

How can we fix it?

Change the Meaning of Scary

S = Smart

C = Courage

A = Action

R = Resilient

Y = Yes (I’ve got this)

Now see, not so scary after all.  When we start to see things in a different light we see how we can overpower it and bring it down to a level that we can conquer.

I love riding my bike!  We have had many adventures since then and my confidence is much better.  Not quite so scary, but I still have to be aware and handle each situation in a way I can control.

 If you are afraid of doing something yet you still want to do it, just remember what scares you might not others.  In other words, look for other people to help you along till you aren’t scared anymore.  

Keep Smiling
