Commitment & Vulnerability

I have made many commitments in my life recently. And what I've learned about commitment and goals is that I am more likely to complete them if I write them down, share them with others, and ask someone to hold me accountable. So here goes with step one:

1. I commit to challenging myself in different areas of my life to continue growing as a human being. 
2. I commit to writing. 
3. I commit to going to more live concerts. 
4. I commit to spending less time on my smart phone so I can spend more time reading books and about yoga and writing. 
5. I commit to being vulnerable. 

I haven't posted a blog in almost two years. Life got busy with the birth of my son Maverick who is now 14 months old. But I have been writing. The truth is, I've been keeping my writing to myself. I made up excuses like I'm not sure of the direction I want my blog to go in any more, or I need to rebrand myself and come up with a catchier theme, even purchase a new web site. However, when I dig deeper and get honest with myself, a lot of what's holding me back is that I have fear around what others will think of what I write. I'm concerned that if it's not perfect, in a pretty package, and with a clear, though-out direction, I shouldn't be putting it out there.  

I have learned that when I am vulnerable and share of myself authentically, I make real, deeper friendships, am more relatable, and inspire others. So it's time I drop the excuses and commit to being vulnerable again. Vulnerability aids me in making a life worth living.
