For a very long time, I've been afraid of being a fight; not because I thought I'd lose, but because I didn't trust myself to be able to exercise restraint. I truly felt like if I were in a fight, there was a chance that I would kill the person.
HUGE Exhale.
There I said it.
I was captive to that fear. I would avoid confrontation until the very last minute, but by doing so, I brought what I feared even closer to being a reality. By thetime I DID act, I was closer to a 10 on the rage-o-meter than a 1!
So, how do I regain control?
Well, my plan is to take anger management classes as well as self defense or martial arts lessons. Not only will I feel more comfortable about confrontational situations, but I'll be comfortable and confident knowing that I have the tools to ensure that I won't be excessive.
Why am I doing this?
Because this is my life!
Nothing should happen in my life without me knowing.I should know how I will respond in all situations.
It's my life! Why should I be surprised?
What things are you afraid of?
- Talking to a boss;
- Telling a bf/ husband how you feel;
- Leaving an abusive situation;
- Getting a divorce;
The best way to control fear is to take the reigns.
Yeehah!
