\"keep-calm-and-boldly-go\"<\/a>We’ve talked about starting over <\/a>and it is worth touching on that idea again, because the pressure is often to do Big Things. You know, Those Boldly go where no man<\/strong> has gone before<\/em> expectations<\/a>*. That’s fun for a while if you are an intergalactic adventurer, or a woman. (I mean I even got to make a pennyfarthing<\/a> where no wo-man had gone before) but at a certain point, most of us just want some help with\u00a0the basic “boldly go” part.\u00a0 Those first steps or stumble <\/a>in a new (for us) journey are their own bold adventure. It could be asking for help to plan an overseas\u00a0holiday <\/a>when you’ve never left the city but everyone around you is infecting you with their itchy feet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Taking action in alignment with your own values put you back into the driver seat of your own life. Freedom is in being bold on your own terms. Maybe committing to a slow\u00a0shift in your eating habits, or starting to go for walks again or maybe a gym session or saving money. Whatever it is for you, where you’ve had a hint of fear<\/a>, or worry about what other people are going to say, or if you’ll look silly, or fail, or or or … well, that’s an opportunity for some bold baby stepping.<\/p>\n

Boldly go (but in bitty bubby steps)<\/h2>\n

We yearn for big wins and\u00a0particularly successful people who are used to achievement forget that starting over is all about starting small. By small, we mean really small. Simple. Two minute tasks, being mindful, remembering to make a choice rather than react. These are the baby-what’s the next thing I could do that takes me towards what I want? Take a little action, bitty bubby ones but bold, feel bold. You’re courageous! You’re brave! You can totally do this!<\/p>\n

Be bold baby!<\/strong><\/p>\n

By the way, it doesn’t even have to be about fulfilling your dreams, maybe just do the things that are bugging you and that let you simplify that endless to-do list.<\/p>\n

Sometimes being bold is saying “no,<\/strong> thanks.”<\/p>\n

No to more commitments, things that serve other people, or things that aren’t helping you get your own stuff sorted. Maybe being bold for you is asking for some help (maybe from all those people you’ve already been helping all this time?) or be bold and be brutally honest with yourself about what is really important to you.<\/p>\n

So muddle onwards in your own direction\u00a0and boldly be yourself. There honestly is no one better suited to it than you.<\/p>\n

*Like discovering new galaxies or intelligent alien life. No pressure, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
