Overcoming Fear Series Part 2 – Addressing My Fear

sidewaysWhat is my biggest fear at this moment? Fear of clicking on the “publish” button on my blog.  I have spent a lot of time setting up my website (I’m not a technical person at all, so this has been a slow process).  I have many blog posts I have written, inspirational quotes with pictures and other blog posts I have created to inspire and encourage.  Why, then did I put my blog back into “maintenance mode”?  Well, let me tell you.

About 6 months ago I FINALLY had decided to put my blog out there for people to see.  I got busy with work and other things (“life”) and when I finally came back to work on it, to my astonishment, someone had hacked in and posted porn!  When I first saw it, I couldn’t breathe!  I thought, holy crap this is what people are seeing when they visit my blog entitled Personal Magnificence.

Needless to say, I IMMEDIATELY placed my blog in “maintenance mode” and there it has been ever since.  I found that I would work on it less and less.  I knew I wanted it to be a blog to inspire others, thru sharing my life’s challenges and overcoming so many of them but I just couldn’t bring myself to “put it out there” again for some reason.

I would often think, what is wrong with me?  What is it that’s holding me back?  What were my limiting beliefs that were keeping me stuck?  Fear of failure, lack of knowledge on how to design a “kick butt” blog, what if someone hacked in again and what if people judged me?  I knew that I needed to address these fears and overcome them in order to move forward.

All my love,

Sharon xoxo
