Feeling lost - Julie's NeVerLanD (juliesneverland.com)
To recap from last week, I've been experiencing fear, anxiety, self-doubt, and uncertainty to name a few. These feelings come from Nonverbal Learning Disorder. The fear and anxiety are about reaching the point of independence and making my own decisions as well as becoming the best version of myself. Self-doubt and perfectionism come from wanting to make the right decisions. I know that you can't make the right decision at the start, but I'm terrified about making the wrong decision and how that could affect the rest of my life. Another feeling I'm having is uncertainty about the future. I'm the type of person who needs to know what will happen before making any decisions. Going with the flow is not my cup of tea, I need routine and structure. Everybody says my future is bright and I should be enjoying this new chapter in my life, but all these feelings take over any ounce of excitement I have. I'm the type of person that gets in my head and can't dig myself out. I know that just starting something could be the next step, but I struggle taking that leap of faith, not knowing what will happen. I need to get in the headspace of pushing past the fear and uncertainty to follow my heart! This is something I want to do because I keep talking about it and thinking about it, just not taking action, and that's the step that's missing. I need to stop seeing what could go wrong and focus on what could go right! For goodness sake I would be a published author with my name on a book, and as crazy as that sounds, what an accomplishment. I could help people going through the same thing as me! There's so much positivity and excitement behind this project, I'm just too scared to see it. Comment down below how you felt about this new chapter in your life!

I have suffered with perfectionism too so understand that feeling! I've definitely felt the fear of making the wrong decision, especially in this last couple of years of my life but I also try and trust that things usually do work out as planned! I can absolutely see you being a published author!!! :D

Perfectionism and self doubt held me back for years So I completely relate to this.

LOL - I could completely relate to this post! I consider myself a "recovering perfectionist" - always in the process of embracing imperfection and surrendering to the guidance of the Universe!
