stop avoiding things because i think they'll be too hard to do

This is the core of my procrastination. I think. I hope I manage to do this.

This is a BIG one for me! Since I have always had a balance problem, I have skipped out on lots of things… Never liked skating, didn’t care much for riding bikes, & so on.. I would really like to do more things that I don’t do, due to fear of just getting hurt, or not being good at them….
I had a chance to go ice skating once, but didn’t. I thought it would be too hard, or would fall & hurt myself.
When I was young I didn’t like skating cuz It was hard, & really hurt my head bad.. So never did it again. Didn’t help that I wasn’t around real people I could trust at the time.

So yeah.. I wanna try more things even if I think it might be hard….

I can think of only one thing I have done even though I thought it would be too hard. I tried a rock climbing gym. This was back in 2005 I think or 2004… It was really hard for me, since I don’t have the best upper body buffness at the time.. Anyways, I made it to the Top, with my friend’s BF’s (at the time) help. Since he is really good at it, & all.. My Friends & hubby were all so happy for me & had got pics of it on their phones! One of my top proud moments (even if I had help)!!

There are a bunch of things that I’m nervous about doing, things that I have to apply myself to do. So as long as I can avoid avoiding them I think I’ll be okay. XD

I did this at one point today – I exercised even though I thought that it would take too long and be too hard and blah blah blah. It’s a good start. :)

And I just did it again in e-mailing my aunt, which I thought would take a long time but it really didn’t.
