Reminder (for myself and you)

I've been going back and forth on a decision I have in front of me, and I realized last night that I'm waffling because I'm anxious about how it'll turn out if I take the leap.

And then I remembered that I wrote here just recently about practicing emotional courage.

So I put my my actions where my values are, asked myself what the more vulnerable choice would be, and took the next step.

How about you? Have you been taking the chance to act with emotional courage this past week? Have you done "the more vulnerable thing"?

I'm not trying to push you to do something you're not ready for, but I do really want to encourage and support you to take the steps you need to take in order to have more connected relationships.

It could be with a sibling, or friend, or coworker, or partner. It could be a small risk or a big risk. But if you want more intimate, deeper relationships, you do need to practice emotional courage.

Believing we are courageous isn't enough; we have to put that courage into action.

Please take a moment right now and really ask yourself: What's one step you can take this week that will help you bring your emotional courage into the real world?
