I sometimes feel foolish, not just on April Fool’s Day, but anytime I sit down to write a blog post. There’s the back and forth questioning in my head of which subject to write about, what do my readers want to learn about, is this boring, interesting, informative, different? That self-doubt creeps in every time.
I think I am a better listener than a talker or writer, even thought I do stand up in front of crowds and do talks on all kinds of health topics. Listening and picking up cues is what you want when working with a health coach, but I know I also have to teach and inform as well as listen, encourage, motivate, and support.
So, I have felt the fear, and I’m jumping in, really pushing myself to do something uncomfortable, which is to write a blog post every day for the next 30 days. There, I said it. Now, let’s see if I can do it. I just decided to do this blog post challenge two days ago without really thinking it through (making excuses). I will be traveling for about 10 of the 30 days, so if you are following my blog posts, you’ll hear from me from the Neatherlands.
In a way I am feeling proud of myself for feeling the fear and doing it anyway. Do you have self-doubts? How do you help yourself in this area? I’d love to get a conversation started.
