Overcoming Fears

What fears have you overcome and how?

I struggle with social interactions and the fear of being judged by others. To overcome this, I gradually exposed myself to social situations, focusing on listening and asking questions to alleviate the pressure of being the center of attention. I also worked on building my self-confidence by reminding myself of my strengths and accomplishments. Additionally, I decided to seek professional help to gain more insights and strategies for dealing with social anxiety. There are times to this day that I still struggled with this but I have learned that it is okay.

As for my fear of spiders, I gradually desensitized myself to them by learning more about them and observing them from a distance. This helped me realize that they are not as scary as they seem.

Frankensteina

Short tempered teacher sits at her loom

Creating a dark aura of gloom.

Her students remained frightened

Since her bolts need to be tightened.

So the classroom is filled with such doom.

Joy

Describe one simple thing you do that brings joy to your life.

One simple thing that brings me joy is drawing. I love to draw either for myself or others.

Commentary

Welcome June🏊‍♀️

June is my favorite month of the year. The three main reasons are the weather, swimming, and my birthday. I love June’s warm, sunny days, which are perfect for spending time outdoors and enjoying nature. Swimming in a pool or at the beach is another month’s highlight. Lastly, celebrating my birthday in June makes it even more special and memorable.

I love the weather in June. The June gloom, where it’s cloudy and gloomy in the morning and then the sun breaks through, always makes my heart sing. Also, in June, the weather is not as hot as the later months of the summer can be. It’s just the perfect balance for me.

I have consistently recognized it as the start of summer, when I can swim more than any other time. When swimming, I am at peace with myself and let all the stress and worries fade away. It’s when I feel truly relaxed and free, with the water enveloping me and the sun’s warmth on my skin. Swimming allows me to escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life and enjoy the moment, feeling refreshed and rejuvenated afterward.

Lastly, and most importantly, it is my birthday month. I haven’t always had good birthdays, but I am always excited for them, even now that I am older. I dream of doing something I have never done before for this birthday, but we will see. At the moment, I have nothing planned. I want to make this birthday a memorable and special one.

June is a wonderful month for me because it combines enjoyable weather, fun activities, and personal significance. The warm, sunny days make it ideal for outdoor adventures and spending time with loved ones. Additionally, June holds special personal significance for me, making it a month I always look forward to.
