How am I brave?

I’m brave by showing up every day. That can mean showing up at work, showing up as a mother, showing up as a writer/creative, or showing up for myself.

I’m brave by doing the things that scare me. Writing a book last year scared me. I recall being at my computer and literally breaking out in hives because anxiety and fear didn’t get a say in my mind and so it attacked my body. It’s a real thing, google it.

I’m brave when I learn new things about myself and explore the possibilities of that new part of me.

I’m brave by healing myself through therapy and taking my mental and emotional health more seriously. If you’ve read any of my past blog posts, you know how important my mental health has been to me and how I’ve been working toward a more healthy mental being. Admitting and working on that takes bravery.

Every day, I get to be brave.
