5 Fears I Am Leaving Behind In 2022

2021 was a tough year for me, but I don't’ want to list all the difficult experiences I went through. I will not let go of them, they made me become a more sensitive person, or at least I hope so. They made me realize who I am and what my values are. They taught me to let go of small daily issues I kept alive in my soul. They are gone now, I don’t want to waste my time and energy on useless things.

Next year I am letting go of my old self, of all the aspects of myself I hated the most, especially my being silently waiting for someone to encourage and give value to my light. Now I let it shine.

But most of all, in 2022 I am letting go of fear. Here is a list of some of the many fears I have experienced this year, which never became real. Worrying and sleepless nights were useless. I wasted my time giving value to my fear.

1-Fear of risk.

It’s the fear of trying something new, in my job and in my life. I finally tried new ways, and the most negative — and common — reaction I had was… no reaction! At least I felt proud of myself for trying.

2-Fear of asking.

If I really want or like something, I will ask for it, and stop thinking about it. If I don’t get it, fine, I will ask for something else.

3-Fear of rejection.

I found out that rejection is quite common both in private and public life for everybody, so what? Nobody speaks about it, I will also share my failures to help people feel better.

4-Fear of losing money.

I lost and wasted some of my money, I am still alive.

5-Fear of sickness.

It is an exhausting feeling, and it will not solve the situation. if I feel sick, I will go to the doctor. I remember worrying about some pain in my bones when the pandemic showed me there were more serious symptoms to worry about.

After going through all those fears, I am still alive and writing on my pc in my kitchen. I survived. I gave those fears too much power!

Next year I want to stop worrying about little things and enjoy every day. I will recognize my fear when it comes, and I will tell myself that I am wasting my time as I did in 2021.
