Carpe Diem
November 04, 2014
Recently, I’ve been trying out a method where I do things I wouldn’t normally
do or feel that I can’t do for whatever reason. Instead of saying no to
opportunities that have come my way, I have started saying yes, and even taking
risks in the process! In doing so I’ve found a burst of confidence I didn’t know
I had, I have started to stop doubting myself and diving head first into new
experiences and whatever life throws at me; whether that be dance shows,
blogging opportunities or simply trying out a new hairstyle.
Through doing this, I have taken myself away from the boring predictability of my life, and I can stop moaning that nothing good ever comes my way; Because it does, I was just too caught up in questioning what could happen if everything went wrong. Because what could happen? I could find that that experience wasn’t for me, or I could really love it. Either way there’s no serious damage done, no wounds inflicted, no mental scarring, no death. I will simply strike that opportunity off as one I won’t repeat, but at least I won’t be wondering about the ‘what if’s’. What if I had taken that opportunity? What if I had really enjoyed it? What if I met new people who have the same interests as me? What if?

So, if you feel that you are stuck in a rut, or simply want to put
yourself ‘out there’ a little bit more, try this method and you’ll be surprised
at what you can achieve. :)
