I want someone to feel sorry for me.
So someone will rescue me.
I want the white knight to come and fix my problem.
So I don’t have to be vulnerable (uncertainty, emotional exposure + risk).
I want the imaginary white knight because then I can bet on “him” instead of me.
So I don’t have to bet on myself and fail.
In this moment I’m 8 years old and still believe in the fairy godmother, Prince Charming + happily ever after.
Now my 46 year-old-self doesn’t want to be rescued. And I definitely don’t want to be 8.
What I really want?
Confidence in myself.
Believing in myself.
My problems solved.
What does this really look like?
Using my brilliant + resourceful brain to figure out a solution.
The willingness to make mistakes, get back up and continue as I solve the problem.
Being my own best friend.
I don’t need a fairy godmother or Prince Charming.
I need me.
I need to be brave.
I need to be supportive.
I need to be willing to make mistakes and continue forward in pursuit of overcoming my problem.
I can do this. So can you, will you join me?
smiling,
