Terrified….

Because the words: nervous, anxious and scared don't quite get the point across about how I feel about this 30 day challenge, let me state that I am TERRIFIED!! Why???? This isn't a new thought process, this isn't a new diet, or even something extreme. This feeling is coming from the fear of repeating the past. The past of when I've said I am going to do this for 30 days and by day 10 already failed.

I hopes to break this feeling I started thinking about the things I've heard and know about fear.
-The Bible says Fear Not more than 365 times. I could a Fear Not verse everyday for a year and still not have read all of them. I kind of thing God is trying to tell us something. ;-)
-The only way to conquer fear is with action
-A common acronym for fear is: False Evidence Appearing Real
-And probably my all-time favorite quotes about fear:
      "Fear is not real. The only place that fear can exist is in our thoughts of the future. It is a product of our imagination, causing us to fear things that do not a present and may not ever exist.  That is near insanity. Do not misunderstand me danger is very real but fear is a choice." -Will Smith (after-earth)

"Fear is not real……Fear is a choice"   it is true danger is real and we should protect ourselves from that be fear isn't. Is what I am going to be doing dangerous? Nope not at all. Dieting and working out is a good thing no danger involved at all. So there truly is nothing to fear.  The attempt to better your self isn't a scary thing.  It should be positive and something to be embraced.  Change can be hard but it should never be feared.
