Finding my voice again while doing this July Consistency challenge

Finding my voice again while doing this July Consistency challenge

A few years ago I started writing for other people’s blogs here and there, I even curated a few blog posts of my own for my website. It was okay at the time until the inner critic surfaced and I started questioning everything I wrote and the intent of my posts. Having people around that constantly critique you isn’t a helpful thing either. You see, over the years I’ve suffered from depression, anxiety, and PTSD related to childhood sexual abuse trauma. Here’s the thing, trauma can box you in and having you think that you can’t get out of the box until someone else opens it, that’s a lie. I’m here to tell you that running, exercising and journaling has helped me find my voice. I have also continuously sought out healing by seeing a therapist for the past 6 years. My hope is to share more of my story and how movement has helped me tho thrive.

I came into this consistency challenge thinking that it would be easy to put together the pages I’ve written over the past few months. 

That’s a hard noooo! 

So far it has been nothing but easy, you see fear and anxiety has a way of creeping in when you start doing uncomfortable things like sharing about your life. I know what I want to say and I can put it in writing, the fear comes from putting it out there for everyone else to read. Maybe it is just me who feels like this, nevertheless I will not let that stop me from creating and continuing to use my voice.  My hope is that during this challenge I hold onto the boldness to share my truths and knowledge of wellness and fitness with my readers.
