Starting Something New

"I am actively choosing to achieve my goals. I am ready to try something new!"

Hi, Welcome to the blog of Keep it The Real McCoy. This is my first Blog Post because I am "Starting Something New."

I hope during your experience reading this blog, you feel a sense of understanding of yourself and that you are not alone in how you feel, or you experience a new perspective that may help you understand someone else. It is important for us to learn different perspectives, for no two people are exactly the same.

Starting something new can be a whirlwind of emotions. Excitement and anxiousness are my most common duo. Entering a world of the unknown. Trying to navigate through something out of your comfort zone. Asking yourself questions like, "Will anyone read it? Will anyone care about what I have to express? Am I qualified?". I think a lot of people have similar thoughts of Imposter Syndrome. Imposter Syndrome is that little voice in your head that tries to keep you from pursuing your dreams and goals. I hear that voice more often than I would like. Today I say, "I am actively choosing to achieve my goals. I am ready to try something new!"

As you embark on your journey, start small and build. Be open to the unexpected, stay curious to keep learning and trying even more things. Your path may pivot you, circle back to, challenge you, or change all together. That is part of the process! Keep going!

If you need a cheerleader, know that I am here rooting for you!

Let's Keep it Real, and Make it Happen!
