Overcoming Fear
All of us have fear. One of my fear is “HEIGHT”….especially standing at a certain height without surrounding walls.
The embarrassing thing is- for what I fear most, my young kids and hubby do not. So, when we are out for fun and when I don’t want to dampen their mood, I follow them in doing what I tend to fear most…REACHING CERTAIN HEIGHT.
So being a mom has its joy but also challenge. Guess what? I learn a precious lesson from these challenges- something to share with my young ones - ”The only way to overcome our fear is to face it!”
Here are some photos of us, engaging in activities at a HEIGHT.
Now, what is your greatest fear? What do you do to overcome it?
The world's longest suspended pedestrian bridge - reported to be at Sunway Lagoon, Malaysia
The boys holding me tight cos it is no hidden secret that mommy is afraid of height. We completed the long long walk across anyway:)
In my recent trip to Fuzhou China, I was hesitant to board the cable car due to the extreme HEIGHT, long moment of ordeal 20-minute ride up and another 20--minute ride down the Drum Mountain (Gu Shan). I boarded anyway because "no pain, no gain". I wanted to see the beauty of the scenery from above, without having to scale height by walking up for hours:)
A close up view of the cable car. I wouldn't have dreamt of taking this in the past, especially when there is no enclosure. I was glad that I boarded it because it was a good experience, especially to share with the boys, and the scenery and air was good:)
Finally, reaching the base of the mountain. I realised that it was not as fearful as I thought it might be after all. For a change, it feels good for my kid to tell me that he is proud of me because I have scaled another height despite my fear:) I guess this is call mutual encouragement *lol*
Give me a Five!! My legs go really wobbly with height!
hey, I have the same fear as you! Somehow my knees always go wobbly when I’m at high places.
So sweet of your boys to be holding you tight when you cross the suspended bridge. :)
Have you tried the chair-lift at Sentosa luge?
I was holding my kids tight, when I myself was apprehensive :)
Well that makes the two of us. Just dropping by my friend. Hope I could exchange links with you if it is okay with you.
Hi Andy, I never dare to try the Sentosa luge cos my kids have not requested. When the day comes, I guess my heart will beat hard:(
Hi Ing, it is the time for the kids to play hero to mommy :)
Hi Melissa, Hi-5! Talking about the height fear:(
