In the spirit of Halloween being in the October air, let’s start with a question about silly fear. What do you do that scares you or that causes you to step outside your comfort zone?

“Do one thing a day that scares you” can be found amongst numerous self help articles, books, and well…the Lululemon manifesto. Basically, it’s everywhere. I have come to reference this sound advice often, even in important situations like when debating dancing/singing to Shania Twain by myself in my car sans tinted windows. Why yes, this is my little way of scaring myself once a day: dancing and singing loudly while driving (hands on the wheel, obvi) when others can clearly see me. Do they care? No. Does it scare me still? Eh, kinda.

Confession: I consider what strangers around me think and I scare myself out of it by dancing obnoxiously in my car anyway. Ridiculous as it may seem, what I’m trying to say is I’m not one for facing my fear by sky diving or haunted hay rides or bungee jumping or roller coasters or anything the average joe would consider scary or at the very least, an adrenaline rush. I stare my fear right in the face by dancing visibly in my car by myself to super-dee-duper fun pop music in plain sight. We all have to start somewhere as the self-help gurus also say and at this rate…maybe I’ll watch a scary movie by the time I’m 50.
