I don't know why this is.
It might be because I am working on being a participant and not a spectator. I am getting out of my comfort zone and jumping into places that I never thought possible
I have been reprogramming my self doubt channel. I have been turning it down. Trying to find a better one.
Asking myself why won't you let yourself stand up and be noticed?
Is it because of pride? Fear of failure, looking stupid, looking like I am trying too hard?
Or is it all of these things and I should just stop thinking and start doing?
So I did.
I stopped watching and started doing.
Awesome.
Belatedly linking up with Jess...

I think you're awesome Lee. I always love what you have to say. You express yourself so well. I totally hear where you're coming from. I struggle with the same things. Maybe it's just a case of 'fake it til you make it'? Lots of love, Fi xxx
Good on you hun, Doing is so much more fun that watching and I for one think you rock for taking that leap xx
We do have to live our lives, don't we? That is really important. Hang in there. Just be you, whatever that is on which ever day. That's what I'm trying to do and to not worry or stress too much about writing or not. I'll always pop back when you do write.
I think you look great in that second photo Lee. Why would you doubt yourself? (Just kidding my love. You know I love you!) Do whatever you want. I think you're great!

I have missed you not being here, but I'm so glad you are moving forward and living! Such an important thing to do!
Don't let things hold you back cause you are better than that!
Says she who gets held back all the time :)
Firstly Lee, I've missed you! Secondly, I can totally relate. My self-doubt channel gets turned on often. I hear you. And I find myself asking exactly the same questions that you do. And yes, then I become wordless and a spectator... I feel lost so often. I hear you! But please know that we need you to be here! We like you 'doing'! You have so much to say and contribute. The world is so much better with you speaking UP. Lots of love to you. xx
I love your blog and the way you write. But if less blogging means you are taking more chances in life then that is good! Self doubt is a constant companion with me ... i regularly try to beat it over the head but it keeps coming back!
Good on you Lee - "I am working on being a participant and not a spectator" is awesome and everything i aspire to this year - can't wait to hear more from you - damn that self doubt (i try to mute that channel but some days it is too loud)
Hello there, love the photos, they are so funny and the quote about lapping people on the couch is totally true. Have been ill and then today for the first time I felt a bit of energy coming back - so into the pool with the kids and then onto the trampoline. They wore me out after a few mins though.
My husband has disappeared off to the Middle East and in late March starts a proper 28:28 rotation there again. It's good and bad. The big boys need a lot of ... care, love... managing... and the littlies too... I just wrote on Sonia's blog that being a mum is feeling like an extreme sport just at the minute. Have to gather all my self-care energy together, I reckon. Sounds like you are taking care of yourself.
You have to live it to write it, Lee. Stepping out of your comfort zone, doing, that's awesome. You rock, lovely xxx
Damn, how cool are those retro threads!!
Can I be your cheerleader Lee?!
It's all in the starting :)
