"All eyes on you"
SOLD!
Having all eyes on you can be an uncomfortable feeling.
Sometimes, i don’t know why i do things the way i do and in the order i do them, but when i look back, it all makes sense.
It’s to find the right balance between challenging yourself, doing what you love and also being vulnerable, showing something you created to the world.
In my looks, i might look colorful and confident with the blue hair, tattoos and all, but to me, that’s all i know for SO many years and it feels “normal” to me.
Deep inside, i am actually quite shy and anxious person in new situations or around people i don’t know. In new situations, I tend to like to distance myself and observe, rather than being the center of attention.
I have to remember myself there’s nothing wrong in being in the spotlight, having all eyes on me. We did not have a public wedding, i do not plan myself birthday parties, just because i always fear of being in the spotlight, to come across not humble enough and taking too much space. I enjoy other people shining, i am proud of their achievements, but then, why does it still feel overwhelming when it’s my turn?
I have spent a lot of time in my life daydreaming about what could go right, goals and visions, but like everyone else (i’m pretty sure) having my moments of self doubt and imagining what could go wrong too.
I always thought my anxiety was a way to protect myself from future disasters or disappointments, when in fact we will never truly know how until it happens (or not!) It is not protecting me, it is stopping me, stopping me from feeling free, holding me comfortably into what i know.
I have made efforts in the past year to step out a bit of that comfort zone and slowly challenging myself to new things.
I would often say no to things, only because i have never done them before, but it takes a first. It then becomes a bit more comfortable, you move on to next thing and first thing you know, you have done bunch of new things you honestly didn’t know you could pull off.
You are capable of much more than you think, i challenge you this weekend to try ONE new thing 😀💖
