Be wild in the face of fear

Fear used to hold me back. When I thought about taking on new challenges or new experiences, I'd talk myself out of it, giving myself all sorts of stupid reasons, and then feel gutted about missing out. When I did start to take those initial steps past my comfort zone, it changed my life in incredible ways. I discovered a newfound confidence in myself, even when things didn’t go according to plan, I was still capable of pushing myself forward. This kind of mentality not only makes you feel more empowered, but it also challenges you to push past limitations you once thought you had, essentially expanding your potential.

As I learnt to overcome my fears and take risks, I began to notice that my perspective on life changed. The limitations I put on myself and the assumptions that had stopped me from trying new things, were creations of my own mind. This perception shift became fundamental in all aspects of my life, and I began to approach life with a new sense of curiosity and excitement. My life is now full of many crazy people and wild adventures with a whole tribe of wild women to share my adventures with.

For anyone who doesn't know, Wild Women Adventures is a social group dedicated to bringing together women who are passionate about the outdoors, adventure, and exploring new places or trying new things. Together, we take on all sorts of challenges, from hiking up mountains, rock climbing, or dragonboat racing to wild camping, fire walking and more! We understand that engaging in these activities sometimes requires us to push ourselves past what even we thought was possible. But we do so with the knowledge that we have each other's back, and that together, we can achieve anything.

There's something uniquely empowering about being surrounded by a group of like-minded women who aren't afraid to take risks and step outside of their comfort zone. I have been blessed to meet many incredible and inspirational women who have enriched my path in life in ways I never could have imagined.

Being a part of this group has not only challenged me physically but mentally as well. When you're outdoors trying a new activity or meeting new people for the first time, it's easy to fall prey to self-doubt and fear. But being surrounded by supportive, adventurous women has given me the push I need to overcome those fears and feel more confident in myself and my abilities. Being part of this group, I've built friendships with people from all kinds of different backgrounds. It's amazing how much we can learn from each other even when we come from all different walks of life.
 
All the Wild Women Adventures I've been on have taught me that taking risks and stepping outside of my comfort zone is how I grow and learn as a person. It's not always easy, but with the support of this incredible group of women, I feel more empowered than ever to pursue my dreams, push my limits, and inspire others to do the same.

When you begin to conquer your fears and take risks, you're opening the door to a new existence. With every risk taken, you gain more confidence, achieve more growth and find more ways to learn from your setbacks to keep pushing forward. Rather than allowing fear to control your energy, take a risk, and you never know what wonderful things await!
