It is possible to anticipate something to be such a Broken Heel Moment – to then realize that it was nothing at all.  It’s happened to me twice this past week, worked myself into a frenzy to realize that it really wasn’t that bad. I then thought about how silly I was for anticipating the worst and working myself up, to then have to laugh at funny that whole process was.

Last week I had some things I wanted to discuss with my Mr. and for some reason I was so scared to do it. I managed to make myself think that if I really expressed what I was feeling that I would push him away. I guess in the 6 years we have known each other, we used to have disagreements that would result to that. However, I failed to notice last week that 6 years have passed, we have both grown from those situations and have much better conflict resolution skills than in the past. As I dished everything I had to tell him, I sat there with my heart racing 100 miles an hr, waiting for his reply. When he did reply, I was so surprised to see that it was far from what I had thought. I thought I was setting off a bomb, meanwhile he was ready, patient and willing to hear me out 100%. Can’t even begin to explain the relief that I felt after that. I am so proud of how far we have come in understanding each other, I actually think I am surprised at it every time it happens.

All this to say that, before you go into a situation thinking of the worst possible outcome and expecting an EPIC Broken Heel Moment; think for just one moment that you may be completely wrong. Go into the situation with a clear mind, and I promise it will be better than building up for a disaster.

P.S. Someone pinch me… things between us are going so well… I guess I am anticipating something to go wrong but it’s not. The key here is not to create your own Broken Heel Moments.
