I couldn’t leave the house, drive or go to work…… until I found DARE that was 🫶🏻
Approaching the new year and reflecting on how far I have come since anxiety caught up with me at the end of 2020, after years of pushing it down and struggling on through I was crippled by fear and anxiety.
3 years ago and I haven’t looked back! DARE changed my life, and looking back on all my wins this year…. Traveled to South Africa and went to Kruger park on safari, & Zimbabwe to Victoria Falls a trip I will remember forever 🥹
Spent a week in a camper van exploring Scotland’s north coast in some very remote areas with barely a phone signal some days. DARE has taught me to fully engage with life in more ways than I thought possible 🫶🏻
Before DARE I was always in my head never fully experiencing life and struggling to fully remember the most memorable moments in life due to not fully being able to be present, even as a child I was always scared to try new things. I wouldn’t want to go on school trips or even try new foods and always worried about things that hadn’t happened yet!
This got better into adulthood, but I learned to just struggle through physical symptoms such as shortness of breath, heart palpitations and DP/DR, all things that became my normal till I was in my early 30s. DARE took practice to drop these old habits but the persistence got me my life back.
New year for me is counting my wins and looking forward to all the amazing things I’ve yet to experience whether that be feeling the sun on my face, the grass under my feet or more adventures, I’m so very grateful 🥰
If you’re at the beginning of your DARE journey or in a setback, know that you will get to where you want to be, it took me a while to find myself again! Don’’t give up 🫶🏻 life is waiting! ✨
