When's the last time you were wild, unassuming, spontaneous etc?

What was it? I really need to incorporate some time of just doing something freeing or even a little risky once in a great while. My life has become desperately bland😧

I’m unassuming and spontaneous all the time because my brain is oddly wired to be.

But the last time I really embraced all three was when I decided to celebrate my birthday, a rarity. I took a solo trip to a local lighthouse resort and spent the night there and enjoyed the hot tub.

It felt really out of the box for me because I was still recovering from a mastic panic attack that left me unable to function properly for weeks.

@PerfectionOfTheHeart That's awesome!! I really HATE panic. I experience it so much with new people . It prevents me even dating at all. So any fun or spontaneous idea is shot down by panic , of the very thing I do want!! I'd love new connection, but I've just learned, it's my fear of judgement that makes me panic. Ugh it's hard healing this. But I could try and overnight solo trip, good idea!!! Ty friend 🌻🌅

@Coralmist I used to have the same fear and was fearful of people in general. It was part of my “training” living the life I did as a kid. But I somehow turned into someone with zero social anxiety because I started to care so little about how others perceived me and focused more on how I showed up for myself. Think that was the game changer for me.

Definitely gift yourself that trip though. It’s such a beautiful thing to do.
