Often being creative includes taking more risks. But risks can be scary. How do you keep your risk-taking strong and lose some of the fear? How can you practice and strengthen that muscle so that when something comes along, the risk seems less, well, risky? Start small and you can start to shift the energy for taking risks.
So take some time and figure out what you could do different today. Do you drive a different way to the swimming pool? Do you speak up when you might have kept quiet? Do you order the same item from the restaurant menu every time? Always serve the same potato salad at the Memorial Day picnic? This year, bring a macaroni salad.
That’s right. To start strengthening your risk-taking muscle today, find an action you do normally and that might be part of your routine. Determine what you could do differently…and then do it.
What did it feel like to take that risk? And what will you do tomorrow to flex that risk-taking muscle?
