I have always believed that being fearless isn’t about not
having fear, it’s about having the fear and overcoming it anyway. Fear doesn’t
necessarily have to be in a sport or
going skydiving, fear can be talking to someone you get nervous around or fear
of not paying bills, which we all know what that is like.
Today I was standing on 10meter and a small fear hit me. For
the first time in quite a while I was scared to do my dive. My favorite dive,
my easiest dive, I was worried. I tried to calm myself down, but something in
my head took over. I took a deep breath and told myself I have done this so
many times, it’s easy just do it. I went for it and survived. Sometimes we have
those little fears that come to us and trusting yourself is all you need to do.
When you start to worry close your eyes, take a deep breath and say “Trust”.
You know you can do it, your body knows you can do it; you just need to trust
yourself.
I decided to trust myself in signing up for a 10KM race on Pioneer
Day (7 days from now). My coach is running the half marathon that day and has
always been an inspiration to me in running. My coach is to beat his time in my
10K with his half marathon time. So that is approximately 1 hour and 20
minutes. I haven’t been training too much either for this, so I am a little
worried. I have done a few 5km runs past little bit, but not too much. I know I
have people who are backing me on this and they all believe in me; I just need
to trust myself. This is one for my bucket list if I complete it.
My advice for everyone today is: have goals and trust
yourself!
