Try Something New

I've always loved Halloween!! It's the perfect time of year to dress up as something completely different than your usual you. Most days, I fall into the same style category. I wear my hair down, never change my jewelry and my clothes carry the classic look, so my wardrobe still works, even after sitting in my closet for ten years. Sometimes we become too comfortable with who we are that the idea of change can be intimidating. I was sitting with a girlfriend at the pool who told me she always wanted to wear hats but she wasn't sure it suited her. It can be the same with our dreams and aspirations. We want to take on a new endeavor but we're uncertain as to how it will look. Will we succeed the way we envision or will we fail miserably? Well, we never know unless we try. So, put on that new hat, take on that career you've always aspired to do. If it's an epic fail, who cares?! I think of what my five year old daughter said to me at the beach this month when she accidentally fell down in the sand... "If I wouldn't have fell, I wouldn't have seen it!" There in her hands was the most beautiful seashell that she had discovered was right in front of her. Confidence is half the battle! And that new you is just waiting to be revealed!! Don't worry about how it may look if you fall down. Even our biggest mistakes can lead us to find something precious we would have missed, had we not tried. So, try something new! You can always take it off if you don't like what you see but sometimes, something new, fits you perfectly:) Tag us at @MomHandbook and let us know what you tried today! We can't wait to hear!
