Rise and Shine: It’s Risk Time

When was the last time you took a risk? I’m talking crazy-town nerves, a tribe of tummy butterflies and sweaty palms. Taking a risk can be exuberating and frightening all at the same time, but it may be just what you need to get your sexy back. Maybe you’ve been debating about relocating for a promotion or starting your dream business. Whatever the risk you’ve been holding back on, listen up, because I’m going to break down how taking a risk will wake you up and cause you to feel more sexy, productive and passionate.
Truly wake up
Taking risks is exhilarating. It will wake you up out of your everyday routine and slap you in the face with a glass of proactive make-t-happen juice. It will show you that you can (and just did!) conquer your fear. When I put my two weeks in at my day job to come home and start my business full- time I was all kinds of scared. I was leaving security, insurance, retirement and paid holidays. But that is one risk I would take every single day because it woke me up when I conquered my fears.
Get your sexy back
When you face your fears and rediscover your buried skills and strengths, you suddenly come to the realization that you’ve got it goin’ on! You enter into self-discovery mode, causing new insight to arise about what kind of person you really are when the going gets tough. I think you can agree when all this positive self-love energy is flowing, the sexy waters are no longer stagnant.
Amp up your productivity
When taking risks, you must have the desired outcome in the forefront of your mind causing you to amp up your productivity. When your focus is heavily weighed on such an important next step, goals are necessary, and following through on them is even more imperative. I’m not anywhere near perfect; I certainly haven’t always been queen of following through, but with every big risk I have taken, my priorities and productivity have had to line up in order for my desired outcome to come to fruition.
Rouse your passion
When you decide to put your big girl panties on and take that risk, you remind yourself of what you stand for and what you are born to do. Thus, passion is presented to you once again, after who knows how long. Your passion is roused, and you suddenly find yourself talking for hours, brainstorming, and daydreaming.
I encourage you to look at the risk you’ve been pondering long and hard. I admit, risks are frightening, mainly because you are exposing yourself to the chance of a bad result of your decision. Heavily weigh your options, and hush the fear. Perhaps you’re reading this and you know without a doubt that this is a step you are ready to take. You want to be awakened, sexy, productive and passionate again. I am here to tell you I have done it, and although I don’t know what will come next, the awakening I have experienced is worth doing it 100 times over.
