Have you ever filled your bath up with slime<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

Believe it or not, it’s the latest sensory experience for your kids: to have them swim about in your bath tub in luminous slippery slime.<\/p>\n

What I love about this idea, of plunging with wild abandon into luminous goo, is you’re just saying ‘Yes!’ to life…<\/p>\n

– “Let’s just do something nuts and see what happens!”<\/p>\n

– “This could be the greatest experience of my life!”<\/p>\n

– “This is going to be wild!”<\/p>\n

When you look at taking risks in your career<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

The chances are FEAR grabs you first before that optimistic voice, encouraging you to try something different, gets a look in.<\/p>\n

But whether you’re considering a new role…<\/p>\n

Shifting into a different industry or…<\/p>\n

Moving to a new region perhaps…<\/p>\n

A great way to overcome that fear is to consider all the ways that ‘risk’ could add tremendous value to you<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

New experiences stretch you, push you beyond what feels comfortable and, by expanding your comfort zone…<\/p>\n

You invariably build self-trust and confidence too…<\/strong><\/p>\n

“What else<\/em> am I capable of?”<\/p>\n

“What other opportunities<\/em> can I take advantage of?”<\/p>\n

“What bigger impact<\/em> could I make?”<\/p>\n

Saying “Yes!” to opportunities means you’re saying “Yes!” to life, growth and expansion.<\/p>\n

What are your experiences with just going for it? I’d love to hear in the comments!<\/p>\n

Rebecca<\/p>\n
