The Big Fair

Still can't believe I'm actually doing this. In less than 3 weeks time I shall be setting myself loose on the public at the Carterton Mayday Fair in Oxfordshire.

It's not something I would've contemplated doing a year ago, but I'm a big believer in the universe sending out signals and that in order to grow? Gotta get out that comfort zone. It exists as a nice, warm, cosy place to protect us from the outside world which we do all need but it can also sometimes make us very complacent. We can get set in our ways, enjoying said zone a lil too much and that then stifles growth. 

Challenges come our way not to be a big intrusive demon, but to be overcome and.... enable more growth! Life is just a big circle of growth basically that we tend to hide from because of said fear and complacency and bit by bit I want to break free of that to be the best me.

Yes I am one of those people who believes in manifesting, affirmations and becoming your greater self. So for me, this fair is part of that. I've been hard at it in prep work (RIP my bank balance) and going back + forth on ideas + constantly doubting myself but..... Still believe it'll all be worth it in the end. 

Am I expecting to sell much at this fair? No because I'm a realistic person. The first time you do anything is ALWAYS a rough ride. It's more about getting this beautiful site out there (hi business cards), showing that I am capable of smiling + being friendly to the public and just bathing in the experience so I can then push on to do more. Will I probably find it all incredibly over stimulating and have my social battery run out 3hrs into the event? Absolutely. Still we push on though. I know how excited I was when my application for the fair was accepted and the butterflies in my stomach when it was then confirmed and that's the feeling I'll hold with myself for the day.

That I'm doing it. I'm beating my fears.
