Scared of what the future holds for me

QAfter a bad marriage, divorce settlement and a new year beginning I have the opportunity to take a holiday with my daughter for a fortnight in India. I keep reminding myself that all the bad stuff is now over and that it is time to find the new and peaceful me. Why am I still scared?

AAny room in there for a stowaway. What a wonderful opportunity for you and your daughter to really make history together and rediscover the child within you both as you plan and talk about all things and places you will visit together. There is no better way to take your relationship to a higher level as you both rediscover the real people you truly are inside all that fear and anxiety you have been through together in the past. Your daughter must have feelings and thoughts inside there that even her mum cannot iron out for her. This is why it is so important for you to go ahead and get booked up and fly away from all the troubles that you have now left behind forever. How many daughters do you know who would ask their mums to go on holiday with them. Focus on the new and leave the old and negative feelings behind you. Don’t dilute your energy by living in the past as you need to create a present that will become your memories in the future and have good feelings attached to them. One step at a time and slowly these fears will grow into excitement and help you expand your world and feel much more in control of your life. It is a risk never to take a risk as you will never know what life could really be like. What a wonderful mum you must be. Do this for yourself and your own personal growth.
