For me - the hardest part is starting. Any pressure I feel to take that leap of faith (or in my instance - a tiny baby animal step) can leave me feeling more stuck than I was before. (Could I have even moved further away? How!?) The anxiety that in all the moments I spent thinking I should start, I could have began, learnt, fallen, lifted, failed, succeeded and maybe even finished. But yet that step is truly the most difficult of them all.

The journey towards anything in life IS the process. This simple step can feel the hardest as it is the first moment you accept this process into your life. Once you allow this movement in, the anxiety settles and the excitement begins. It’s all just growth from here!

Beginners (including myself) always underestimate themselves. As soon as you decide to confront a problem with curiosity, love non judgement, you’ll realise you have always been more capable that you ever imagined.

By taking a step, (even a little baby mouse step), your journey has begun. Discover and appreciate your flaws, use your experience to get better, breathe and take a step. (Even a baby animal sized one).
