It's been ages since I've written a blog post, but today feels like the perfect opportunity to share my story. Last year, I was involved in a car accident that left me shaken for months. The fear of driving gripped me tight, making me hesitant to get behind the wheel. I avoided driving my kids or anyone else, fearing the worst. But I knew I couldn't let fear win. So, I took tiny steps to build my confidence back up. It wasn't easy, but after 4-5 months, I was back to normal.
Today, I attended an event alone, and in my excitement, I forgot to check the weather forecast. As the storm warning alerts started pouring in, I felt a knot in my stomach. How would I drive home? The event was 40 minutes away from my house, and the storm was intense. I waited for an hour, hoping the rain would subside, and then I started my journey to home. Since the accident, the fear still lingered, and my heart skipped a beat as a car sped past me. But I took a deep breath and continued driving.
The music was on, but I could barely hear it over my racing thoughts. The lightning in the sky was intimidating, but I focused on the road ahead. As I hit the freeway, the rain intensified, and a loud lightning strike freaked me out. But then, a familiar song played on the radio—"Quit Playing Games with My Heart." I couldn't help but laugh at the irony. The song became my anthem, and I sang along loudly, embracing the fear head-on.
Reaching home safely was a huge victory for me. I've taken control of my fears, and it feels empowering. These small daily battles may seem insignificant, but they add up to bigger triumphs. Today, I want to proudly say that I did win over my fear, and it had a huge impact on me.
