Backstory: I was just thinking about this Nudge. I knew it was on the list, and as my collection in the bowl dwindles, I knew it had to pop up soon.
So here it is. What might I do this week? What scares me? Maybe this is the week I finally…
- schedule my annual mammogram (the last one resulted in surgery—I’m fine, by the way—so dreading this, though I know it’s necessary).
- track down and contact the holders of the copyright on some song lyrics I’d like to use in a book I’m writing (worst case scenario: they could say no—which would completely foul things up for me).
- trust my gut and tell a needy, demanding, and annoying potential client that I really do NOT want to work with her (despite needing the income).
- say “Oh, hell no!” to everyone else who wants free work/favors/my time/my energy and turn my full focus to work that truly makes me happy, that gives me energy, that gives me joy.
- decide where I want my ashes to be scattered.
What scares you (and what are you going to do about it)? Good luck!
What scares me? Leaving a public comment on a blog that has made a big difference in my life (yours!). I started my own 52 Nudges challenge inspired by your project (although mine is 86 Nudges!). It’s been 7 weeks so far, and I am getting more comfortable with being uncomfortable. I am amazed at all the lessons I learn each week and how much I have grown as a person. Thanks for the great idea and being a great example! Good luck with your nudge this week (and yes, this comment is part of my nudge this week!). 🙂
Oh, Carrie, you made my WEEK! (and you made me tear up a little bit too) Thank you for sharing this. Big hugs!
