How do you overcome fear?

I did it! How? by facing it😁

I tried something new that I have never done before, ice skating and I have enjoyed it so much!😃

My friend  was about to come to my house to visit me. She told me to look for an ice skating place in my area which, I did and sent her the details. She then booked and paid for the tickets for 4 of us. 

I kept on telling my friend that I've never been ice skating and I wasn't sure weather I wanted to do it or not. she said "that's good, you can do it now!" I was laughing nervously and said that I couldn't do it. However, I had the courage and decided to go ice skating even though I was so scared.😱

When we got there my friend hired a penguin and a dolphin to support us. when they gave me the ice skating shoes I was fine walking with them around the changing area but when I got on to the ice, oh my gosh! I couldn't stand I was just laughing so much. the ice was so slippery. I saw younger kids doing so well; my son, my friend and her son. I just stood there watching them and holding onto the bar. 

After a while my kind friend then asked a staff member to give me and my son instructions on how to ice skate and he did. Now I was able to stand and walk around by holding the bar. My friend then asked me if I would like to take the penguin or a dolphin to support me. I felt like that was not the right thing to do for me at that moment. So I said no. 

She then suggested to take me on a ride where I would sit on the dolphin and she would push me. I said yes because that felt ok with me. I had so much fun, I laughed, I enjoyed it and I was so glad that I tried this new experience. Now I know what it feels like to ice skate and now I can develop this skill further by practicing with others support to enjoy the adventure more and the unique experience I had💖.

I believe that to overcome your fears you need to take the opportunity when it comes. Do what you fear with others support. eventually through practice you will overcome your fear and develop skills needed to do what you  might like. Also, if you don't like it then you will find out that you tried it but you didn't like it and that's fine. Now watch me and laugh😉.

leave your comments and suggest what topics you would like me to talk about please.

Thanks.

Did you ever ride a horse?

How does it feel like to ride a horse?     

I really enjoyed this experience that a friend of mine provided for me. I sat on a horse when I was younger but I did not ride it. Perhaps that why I was not totally scared when I went to ride this horse with support. Hopefully one day I will ride a horse on my own😁 

To ride the horse I was instructed and guided. I stood on a high stand/wooden block and then climb onto the kind and beautiful Wilma.  She was 24 years old. She was gentle and very friendly. 

She listened well and followed instructions. I also listened and followed instructions such as when Wilma walked down the hill  I would lean back and vice verse. I learned how to make Wilma turn right and left. Also, to make her go and stop when I wanted her to do.

After riding Wilma and arriving safety, I went to visit the place. I got to see other horses but this one specially really touched me. He/she lost eye sight on one eye. This horse was so calm, friendly and approachable. When touching this horse I felt peace.

This experience was fascinating and something that I did for my own sake. I felt so happy as I love doing things that make me happy and when there is an opportunity I take it because I know how the good experience can make me feel and I like that feeling.

I wonder what kind of things people do for their own sake. Things that makes them happy and fill their soul with positive energy. I am talking about those things that nobody else can do for you. Only you can do them for your own mental health and wellbeing. What are your hobbies and how important are they for your wellbeing?
