What Do You Risk and What Do You Guard? - Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites

What’s your risk tolerance level? Loaded question, I know, and a tough one to answer because I didn’t give you any context. What’s at risk?

If you’re like most people, you’ll take more risks in some areas of your life than others. I’m perfectly happy with a fairly high level of risk where investments are concerned, and not where my heart is concerned, apparently.

Recently I was reflecting on the 8 years that have passed since the end of my 30-year marriage and had to laugh – I’m very comfortable living alone, I don’t really want to spend the rest of my life alone, and yet I’ve either disregarded or sabotaged every budding relationship since then.

Is there a place in your life where you have layers of the onion that need to be peeled off so you can live the life you desire? The first step is to identify what your extra layers are protecting, and then to decide how to shed those layers.

My heart doesn’t want to be blindsided again, yet by keeping it all wrapped up, it’s blind to the possibilities.

When you come to a similar realization, try what I’m trying – understand the desire for protection, acknowledge that the protection is keeping you from something you desire, and make a plan to start shedding those layers.
