I can take some solace in the fact that my Inner Critters have me up in the middle of the night again. It means that I’m really up to something big – a truly Bold Move. That’s how it works. I must say that several times a day talking with coaching clients who are up to big achievements. Just hang in there, I say. Do your perfect  practice of activities to keep body, mind and emotions in good shape. And, hey, that really works, and still those sneaky Critters wake me up promoting their insidious doubts and fears.

In so many ways, I protect myself from our pervasive fear culture. Stay away from the constantly disastrous daily news. Touch into nature every day. Force field myself from negative people. Read inspiring poetry. Sing every day. And still they come to grab me in the night sometimes.

Well, I won’t let them stop me. I refuse to succumb to those Crittery messages. I remember that just a week ago I was feeling so supported by the world around me and I know that in just another day or two, when the business plan is done, I’ll be able to look back on these few scary times and see that I’ve come through to the other side.

Yup, The Bolder the Move, the Louder the Critters. Bottom line, this current move is boldness in the making over thirty years. Thirty years it has taken me to build my skills, self-confidence, and courage to dare to believe I could truly contribute to the world at the level I am now contemplating. What is it that they say in the marines? Hoo Rah? H-o-o R-a-ah!!
