TAKING BIG STEPS

After years of staying in my comfort zone, I realised I needed to make some significant changes in my life.

I was restricting myself from living my life to the fullest down to my pessimistic nature.

I have been abroad many times to the Caribbean and other breaks in England, but after losing my Father, I started withdrawing from life.

It has taken me a few years of self-reflection and exploration to discover the things that truly bring me happiness and peace. This journey led me to the decision to take two holidays abroad this year.

I am off to Krakow, Poland, on Saturday, and then in November, my family has booked a flight to Sicily for me.

These holidays are not just trips but significant steps in my recovery. They are opportunities for me to step out of my comfort zone, experience new things, and shape my perspective on life.

I’m thrilled about the positive changes I’m making in my life. It’s a sign of growth and a step towards a more fulfilling future.

I must admit I do feel anxious about sleeping away from my home, but I am going to make the most of the experience with my family.

I intend to continue having a couple of holidays abroad every year to explore different countries and their cultures.

I decided not to take a leap of faith and wait until next year to visit friends in Australia.

But through prayer and thanksgiving, I can be free to go anywhere I want.

The silly truth is that I have always been free to roam, but I put too many restrictions on my life.

I am encouraged and look forward to my future ventures.

I’ve come to understand the importance of balance in all aspects of life. It’s a guiding principle that keeps me grounded and focused.

In everything, there must be a balance.
