Today, take baby steps in facing fears. For example, I had a car accident quite a while ago, but I'm still nervous while I drive, particularly while changing lanes. Today, I'm going to take a baby step and change lanes a few more times than necessary. You might take one step on a project on which you have been procrastinating or write a true, uncomfortable feeling in your journal or give someone a compliment you've been too shy to say. Maybe you will research a class you want to take but have been afraid to try. Maybe you will speak up in a meeting. Maybe you will be alone with your thoughts for five minutes. The one-small step strategy, done regularly, is powerful: it builds your courage muscles; it is gentle and doable and kind; it will result in a more expansive life.
