I Can Do Hard and Scary Things

The idea of sleep training your baby or child is scary.

I get it. I've been there.

I didn't know about sleep coaches when my oldest was a baby so I hired my doula (the amazing Grace Veras Sealey in Ditmas Park, Brooklyn) to come over and hold my hand. She sat with me and gave me courage and lo and behold, two days later my daughter was falling asleep on her own in her crib. Easy peasy.

Last week, I told my friend that I love her. I've never in my life said that first to someone. (She didn't say it back. Yet. And that's okay, too.)

So many things in our lives sound so scary. Until we actually do them. 

And then we feel great and move on to the next hard and scary thing. 

I'm not scared of sleep training any more, but there's still lots of things I find scary. That's why my new motto, as we count down 16 days until the new decade, is "I can do hard and scary things."

I don't need a sleep coach but I get weekly coaching from an amazing program called Self Coaching Scholars at the Life Coach School. I think we never outgrow the need for support in tackling the hard and scary things in life. 

Next up on my Hard And Scary Things list: posting video of myself each week to Instagram and Facebook so you guys can get to know me.
